Homeless broke our complex hot tub jiggly

Our hot tub was broken for a few days, and we all chalked it up to maintanence not doing their job and something else broke. That was indeed not the case.

THE CASE: A homeless man had jumped the fence, dumped soap all in it and was bathing himself in it, making it a bubble bath.

It's OK. Umbrella Properties has millions in assets and can definitely afford a new.

But we all know they won’t.

I have rented from them for 5 years. I have nothing nice to say about them.

They bought the property we were living in and never actually fixed a thing. Maintenance came four or five times just to fix our dryer that wouldn’t dry. In the end he was telling me to stop it mid-dry cycle and clean the lint trap, then start it again.

He actually said the words “yeah, it’ll dry faster that way!” and when I gave him a really confused look he elaborated with “well because you’re cleaning it out and the air will circulate better!” Needless to say, the dryer never got fixed and we moved out as fast as we could.

Our dishwasher was installed incorrectly twice. They took the hose that drained dirty water from the bottom and ran upward to the sink. Water doesn't flow up naturally, obviously, so the hose would become full of mold and mildew, which would spread to the dishwasher. No amount of vinegar or cleaning could stop it. We now spend an hour a day hand washing dishes.

OH! Yeah they pulled that one on us too! And then came back another time to fix it and acted like we were the ones who did it wrong!
