I have a question for anyone who can help...
Brad and I just moved into a townhouse in Fremont and when we walked through the door Saturday afternoon I was almost knocked back out by the smell. I finally tracked it down to the master bedroom where there are a few spots on the floor where it looks like an animal pee'd. I contacted the property manager and explained this to him and he refuses to send anyone out to inspect it stating that they inspected the property the day before we moved in. I also asked him if the carpets had been cleaned because they don't look like it. Turns out he says the carpet was cleaned on March 9th. I could possibly buy the fact that the carpets could have gotten dirty again in those 11 days if tons of people were going in and viewing the property, but shouldn't the carpets have been cleaned once we were chosen as the renters? Especially if that much traffic had gone through? Basically, at this point, the mess in the bedroom is unsanitary and should not be my responsibility to clean up or pay to have cleaned up. I became absolutely furious with the property manager today because he was basically calling me a liar about the smell and the carpet. What are my options? Thanks, Lyressa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

I've already added my what to do about the floor/cleaning $0.02 worth...so I'll just type a antic dote.
A buddy of mine drive truck. He also raised bassett hounds (3 of them). Has 2 teenage boys. He goes on a road trip. This is when his ex decides to pack her stuff and move. She figures the boys will look after the dogs. But the boys decide to stay at friends (both have hockey and are in different tiers). Nobody tells anyone what's happening. (lack of communication) So 3 Bassett hounds are left alone for three days with a 50 lbs bag of dog food and 3 huge bowls of water. And they drained the toilet bowls in a 2000 sq ft country style house. (3 bath) Dogs being dogs, they peed on every corner in the house and deposited the 50 lbs of digested dog food wherever they felt like. The pee turned the drywall to mush which mixed in well with the brown stuff on the green carpet. Get the picture.... My friend come home to this and after shoveling the carpet off calls me. I used to install carpeting (my dad feed our family this way and I learned it from him). So I drive out there. I walked in the door and was almost knocked out by the smell. I tell him the only thing I could suggest is to rip out the carpet and underpad. Tear out the drywall and door casings, then wash everything with bleach. So for the next few hours I give him and the boys a hand doing this. After several washings of bleach over the next few days the floor still smelled. Only thing that would get rid of it was painting the plywood sub floor with aluminum paint. He sold the dogs and they payed for about 1/2 of what the renovations cost. |
