My apt manager supposedly doesn't need help around here anymore so I've been deposed. She tells me that it was a mutual decision that corp made and that it's out of her hands. Right. I called corp. They said they really had nothing to do with the decision. They are backing her up but it wasn't their choice. They said it was up to the manager and that she supposely felt she had more time to take care of stuff. K, the apt manager is claiming that patio was a mess and I had been asked to clean it up. It is clean btw but I had not been asked to clean it up. I had heard from the maintanance guy the day I was outside spring cleaning it that it looked better and it was a good thing I cleaned it, he said cause I'd been told it was a mess before. Huh? I had not been told once. I clean it of my own volition (sp?). anyhoo it wasn't that messy. My daughter's bike and scooter, and the grill. Just needed sweeping and straightening. At any rate. She supposedly called other residents to ask them if I was doing anything. Supposedly none of them didn't even know who I was. Yeah maybe by name but they know to come to my door and they know me by face. I'd say half or more wave at me. I'm not out and about that much. I'm here all the time and indoors all winter. I don't know everyone who lives on the other side of the OTHER apt but I don't cross paths with them often none of them come to me for help though they've received notices with my name and apt number listed. I'm just ticked. She's gone behind my back. She claims she doesnt' need me. I've covered her butt on more than one occaision when she didn't show up to show someone an apt. She set the time, didn't notify me, just didn't show. THen they come knocking on my door unannounced. She never returns my phone calls, doesn't take care of problems quickly and I'm left getting ahold of space heaters for my neighbor to use all weekend because she and her maintanance man don't have time to fix the woman's thermostat in NOV. This is up north remember. She leaves me without a fridge for 4 days cause she doesn't think it's a big deal. She only returns my phone calls when I threaten to call corp. NOW I told corp I didn't want anyone coming to my door for help if I'm not being compensated. I know I will get people coming because I was getting people before I had this job. I will call corp EVERY time someone comes to my door for ANYTHING. Because she is lying that she never missed an apt. She's saying that I don't do ANYTHING.

THEN comes today and I find out that they took me off the on site manager's position saying that the woman over me could handle it all now. They lied to me. They've designated someone new. It's not a matter of how much I'm getting compensated or nothin cause I offered to negotiate that. It's not that I wasn't doing anything. I did everything I was asked and then some. I covered K's butt more than I can even say.

It's all because I called corporate on her when she didn't take care of things (after 3 days of calling her). That lyin' bitch of a woman. I'm so pissed that no one better cross me right now.

Thanks for listening. I just had to get that out of my system. I'm so angry about the lying and going behind my back that I'm literally shaking with fury. I'd already reconciled myself to $100 more in rent per month. This comes as just "icing on the cake". I want so bad to strangle her. If I can figure out a way to bury her sorry ass with corporate I will use EVERY last piece of dirt that I can find on this bitch. I doubt I'll be able to do much at all for a long time though. Every time she screws up though it's going into my "file" and corporate is getting a call. She once asked me not to call corporate because they get upset with her. It's only one way to make her pay for her deception.

That's really hard. Sorry to hear that it happened to you. It just goes to show that you can't do anything for anymore without something happening that you didn't mean for.

Go get her!

My thoughts exactly denim.

Screw her and the shitty way they've treated you.


Mr Mephisto

Sorry to hear that.

If the people she failed to help (and you helped as a result) are still around, I'd talk to them and see if they would be willing to sign off on that fact.

Also, if you know people that weren't helped or neglected when they needed it, see if you can get their consent to cooperate also.

It's may be after the fact at this point, but I'd think sending a letter signed by others that have been neglected or ignored by this person would have some affect on her job security..

Also, if you intend to do something to her in the form of a beatdown or other revenge method, I would wait a little while until she thinks the incident is in the past.. Then do something. She won't expect it then, and it will be that much more effective.

Again, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Unforunately, the world is filled with its fair share of people like your manager.. Generally, it's best to avoid them when at all possible.

Take care, and good luck.

Well talked to my neighbor whom I'm friend with. Told her some of what happened but no details and let her draw her own conclusions.

Then she voices to me that they've given her problems as well and she wants to move out. Has wanted to for a while but doesn't know where else to go that's not lots more expensive.

Well I know of a place that's fairly inexpensive, is much more child friendly (including a playground), and is still right here in town about 5 min from here. I'm going to check out prices and all and let her know what I find out.

At lunch hubby and I briefly spoke about the situation so we are agree to see what our options are at least. Then if we move I will send a letter as early as we make our decision to corporate detailing all of my complaints. It won't help me much but it will show K up for who she is. Plus if my neighbor moves and if she'll do the same then there will be even more trouble for her. I know one more disgruntled resident but I'm not going to stir the waters until I know where I'm going or what I'm doing.

I'm going to sit on everything I find out about K until I know I have enough to make an impact. Otherwise it'll only be a scratch and if I'm not on my way out she can cause me more trouble.

I would like to be approved for another apt before I decide to do anything here since I don't want to get a bad report from corporate here. I don't think they know much of what's going on. They don't usually.

Thanks guys for the comisseration and advice.

I know this is probably hard to hear right now, but the high road on this one would be to just set down your guns and walk away. Yes she did you wrong, yes she's evil and nasty. But revenge and political games really aren't going to serve any positive purpose.

Walk away. Continuing to play her game will only diminish you.

raeanna74

Yes I know. I do know this.

I checked into other apts today. Nothing is feasible at this point. Something might open up in a few months up to a year. We're pretty certain that once our lease runs out in a year we should look elseware because I'm pretty certain our rent will go up again. Up another $100 or close to it. $200 in 2 years is a bit much. They did not give us 30 days notice on this last jump so I'm calling to see if they will work with us.

Beyond this that I've done I'm probably not going to do anything. I won't tolerate any more abuse from the manager as I have in the past. (including 3 days without a toilet, 4 days without a refridgerator, and she had intended to leave us without heat overnight one time as well) Beyond that I doubt I will get any "vengance" on her.

I can't help fantacising about terrible ways of "torturing" her. I find people like her disgusting. I had been friendly and helpful to her as much as I possibly could. I had been patient with her as well. She took that and turned it against me costing me $1200 a year. That is downright wrong and unfair. I'm sure Karma will someday reward her for this. I so want to at least see that happen. Can I help it?

Sorry to hear about that. Some people are just jerks. Whenever I run into something similar I usually end up consoling myself in the fact that I know they will get theirs at some point.

Just out of curiosity, what town are you in? I know of some government websites that sell foreclosed property and am curious if there aren't any in your area.

Nope! I agree completely--revenge is best left in the hands of The Universe.

tangledweb

I'm with RatBastid, just walk away and after things settle down, you be glad that you did. Trying to smear her name or image to corporate will come off as petty revenge so for a while. If she sucks as bad a you say, she will eventually get tagged.

In the interim, you should encourage all who come to you to immediately call corporate if she doesn't respond to them.

jujueye

Holy Crap! I'm with the others: begin the process of getting yourself out of there. It really hurts when you help somebody as much as you did and they just crap on you. It sounds like a lengthy process now, but it will all be worth it.

raeanna74

Well I called corp about seeing if they would work with me on the change in rent being so sudden. Nope - they wouldn't work and started claiming that I owed $55 for a late fee from back in July of 2003. They never sent a letter or notified us of it so I will have to see what we need to do.

Then she starts lying about what she had told me before. I simply repeated what she had told me verbatum before. She contradicted me until I repeated it the 3rd time and then said "Well I'm sorry if I misinformed you." Then she lies about when she and K had arrived last Friday when someone came to my door to see an apt. My clock said 1:15 when I saw them getting out her K's car. She was adamant that it was 1:02. I repeated myself 3 times then as well and finally she said "Well maybe it was 1:10 but traffic was bad and we couldn't get there right on time. Traffic - in Wisconsin?? From Rhinelander? There are no towns bigger than 7,000 between Rhinelander and our town.

Needless to say I was upset. IF anyone crosses my path looking to move in here I will direct them elseware. For one I'm not going to help this corporation anymore, and two I don't want to put anyone else through the stress that these people can inflict.

Beyond that - I'm trying very hard to ignore my thoughts when they come up about the company. Trying very hard to conciously relax. And refusing to allow their cheating and lying to upset me anymore than it has.

Thanks again y'all.

Oh brother these people just can't get things straight.

When we signed the lease for this year I had negotiated a lower price for our apt rent. They agreed to it and we signed a Rent Consession stating what the difference was and how it was to be handled. The woman who I had talked to at corporate had even remembered the amount and told me that things were correct in their system. Then she sent me a ledger of all our transactions with them since we originally moved in more than 2 years ago. The last two entries show that they did not apply the rent consession to the rent that we've paid and now our backcharging us $90 for those two months - the difference between the usual rent and our rent. I will have to copy my lease papers which have been signed and send them along with a letter clarifying their error. I have also found out the name of the CEO and I think I will send the letter in care of him since no one else has given me proper assistence. The two girls that I have dealt with seem like total airheads.

It seems like the corporation is out to get all the money they can out of me beyond the usual. I'm not about to let them walk all over me. As long as I have the signed papers I will make sure that they get things right. Come next year - We're out of here if we can.

I am currently looking into an FHA loan and seeing what we can do to get more permanant housing elseware ASAP. I also just read a clause in our lease that gives us an out if we want to cancel our contract. Something with regards to - the tenant shall be responsible for the remainder of the lease should the tenant cancel the contract without the first lease year. We are in our third lease year and I have a copy of their ledger showing that we have been payinglease payments since March of 2002. As far as I can tell we're in the clear then should we decide to leave. Better hang on to our papers.

ughgh, shady motherfuckers. I've dealt with a couple piece of shit apt. managers/landlords in my day, and I feel your pain.

it really is too bad that murder is illegal in some instances, because the world would really be a better place without some of these shady fucks. them, and car salesmen too, but that's a whole other story.....heheh.

More update. K came by today to hand out a policy update note. I confronted her about keeping her word. Maybe it was a good idea. Maybe not.

The most recent move of vindication on her part has been to assign us to a spot on the opposite side of the other building. We are the only apt in our building NOT allowed to park in our parking lot next to the building - and near to our mailbox. There are three visitor spots on the back of our building where I asked K to assign us a spot. She agreed to it - on more than one occaision. Now she goes and assigns a different spot. She tells me she didn't do any assigning but 2 other people who had a part in it both claim she had a part. Lie #1 - She said we could have a spot in our building's parking lot. Lie #2 - She said she didn't do any assigning.

Well I confronted her about it and asked her not to let me she'll do anything if she isn't going to keep her word. She claimed did never lied to me and doesn't know what I'm talking about. The maintanance guy was standing there and said that with my attitude that none of them will give me any help or work with me ever again.

I'm pissed. The apts we want to move to have a list of 19 people long. We haven't done anything about getting an FHA loan. Maybe this will put the fire under our butts.

I just want to scream and rip K's hair out. I told her that I just wanted her to be truthful with me in the future. She said she wouldn't tell me ANYTHING in the future. I'm in for a rough ride ahead I'm sure.

The on-site manager and his wife came by to give me my pass. I was pleasant with them and they were with me. They know I'm disgruntled and was lied to and they believe me I think. I just wished them good luck. He said to me "Thanks. I think we'll need it." I hope it does go good for them. She just had a baby this winter and they have a 4 yr old too. They don't need to be yanked around.

I just feel helpless, frustrated, angry, any bad emotion - you name it - it's there. Why do people have to be assholes? I rarely use that word - Assholes - but I'm sorry this woman fits the discription. All that comes out of her mouth is shit.
