I just moved in March 1. Nothing works. I can deal with maintenance problems, but the landlord’s people here I think they can just walk into my apartment whenever they want without even knocking or any notice at all. I’ll be sitting here watching TV in the door open and scare the crap out of me. I have no idea why they think they can do that but there’s two leasing agents and a maintenance man and they’ve all done it at least twice that I know of while I’m home. God knows what they do in here... when I leave.
