I can’t imagine having to live in those kind of conditions and I really think that you should be moving out instead of asking for a decrease in rent! Find some temporary accommodations until your landlord fixes things and get him to pay for your lodging until he does so!
* Mel…… and I can’t imagine why you and your common business operators Eddy and Cameron bother to continually dredge up old posts with, it would appear, the sole objective of sneaking in a free add; that I’ve edited out. Whale.
I’m not too sure that there’s any issue with people using common power. After all, they live in the compound and pay for utilities and maintenance like everyone else. Much like at our facilities, where we close one eye when someone needs a little power since they’re paying rent. Not on a regular basis of course, but once off, the cost to us is negligible.
I’m not going to be much help here, but I’m going to have to agree that you should have a board or committee who should act in your best interests regarding your neighbour’s renovations. At the end of the day, we can’t all be monitoring what all our neighbours do right? Much like how storage units are handled by management, it would be weird if all our renters went nosing around in other people’s business.
I should think that your original content insurance should cover your renovations to be honest. Most content insurance policies I’ve seen while handling my storage facility in Adelaide seem to cover it quite comprehensively. But like what some of the others here have said, better to make sure that your contractor has his own sort of insurance and a proper license so he can make restitution to you in the event something bad does happen!
I just did a Google search and there are quite a number of free trials of software to self manage up in storage if you wish to give it a go. You can try downloading a couple of them to see which one suits your needs and if you are comfortable with the user-interface, then there is an option for you to purchase after a certain length of trial period.
That is really sad to know that people are being conned to do something against their will. Perhaps you could talk to your neighbours about this issue and let them know your opinion about what you think is really happening. Before that, get some cold hard facts in hand in black and white to support your findings to further convince them. It would be such a pity to have them all move out.
Really sorry to hear about all the trouble that you’ve had to go through with this. It seems like it gets more and more difficult fr us to be trusting when there are people in the world like this who just insist on making things difficult. Well I say, put manners and polite exchanges into storage and fight for what you deserve. @JimmyT is right in saying that they are in the wrong and you should really start looking to seek some proper redress for the problems before it gets worse – or as you say, a family with kids starts moving in…
Really hope that I’m not pulling this story out of storage but I really hope that you managed to get this guy back for doing that to your tree. It seems like extremely reckless and inconsiderate behaviour to say the least about what he did! What if the tree had sentimental value or otherwise?! And it’s worse that nobody else managed to give you a go-ahead to stick it to him and get some form of redress for his actions! Hope to hear some good news about this.
Congratulations on your new car first off. Have you guys thought of finding a garage or alternative storage space near your apartment instead of eating up the unit that belongs to your tenants? OR perhaps you could ask your condominium / apartment manager if there are any other arrangements that would agreeable if they can’t give you their approval for the reallocation of the carspaces.
Hope the issue got solved for you guys jezzie and CPF. I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to be stuck in a situation like this and I’m glad for sites like this that give such helpful advice. Anyway, can we archive this thread in storage for further references?
I agree and think that it’s time for you to dig out your agreements and documents from storage and really scrutinise the terms of the contract when you signed for your apartment. But honestly, I think you’re going to want your own insurance just in case something on their side isn’t as comprehensive as you would like it to be. They are only obligated to a certain extent anyway.
My 2 cents worth would be that this would really depend on whether your neighbour has initiated anything anyway. Also, I doubt there’s much space in the ceiling for storage or much else for that matter so you shouldn’t worry to much about utilisation of that space right? Not sure if I’m on the right track with that…
Interesting and sticky situation. For myself when I work with my staff in Adelaide, I tend to see how things can be resolved amicably first before having to outrightly make a complaint and so on. After all the guy might have just been having a bad day.
