My girlfriend and I moved into a new apartment building and the place has a ton of problems.
The manager of the apartment building let us move in without having a security deposit, because I I told the guy that I would be able to fix all of the problems.
I fixed the garbage disposal and the sink in the kitchen that was leaking. I fixed the hole in the wall with a new piece of drywall. I even replaced the shower head that was falling apart and crusty. Unfortunately, I could not fix the problem with the AC. I tried to fix the AC before I called the building manager, but I was unsuccessful with every effort. I took the machine apart and checked everything for wear and tear. When I finally called the building manager to report the problem, I was at the end of my rope. The building manager agreed to call an AC repair service. Three days later, the repair service technician arrived to check on the problem. The AC unit needed to be recharged with refrigerant. I never would have been able to fix that problem. You have to be a certified HVAC technician to handle refrigerants. I didn’t even have the right tools to complete the job. I was thankful that the supervisor of the building agreed to service the AC. I’m trying not to bug the guy with a bunch of silly problems, but having no cold air in the summer is a major issue. It’s humid and hot outside and the temperatures are above 100 degrees. AC is a necessity and not a luxury.
