Wait, it gets worse, because when I moved out the owner demanded that I leave the AC unit behind, even though I was the one who paid for it.
I finally got settled into my new place, and had a housewarming party for my friends. I don’t have a lot of friends, which in this instance is good because I don’t have a lot of space. This apartment is not very big at all, and a little shabby if I am being honest. But it is such an upgrade from my last rental I can’t even complain. At least this apartment building has a super, so if there is an issue I have someone to call. The last place I only had the owner to call, who would always tell me to fix it myself, whatever it was. The worst part was the air conditioning, because the central system in that old place was older than I am, I swear to you. It worked poorly at first, eventually died, and the owner told me to go buy a window mounted air conditioner and make do with that. Of course he would not reimburse me for that AC unit, and that turned into a whole big argument. Wait, it gets worse, because when I moved out the owner demanded that I leave the AC unit behind, even though I was the one who paid for it. Finally I let it go, walked away, and left the little AC unit in the window where I had mounted it. It wasn’t worth the hassle to me. Two weeks later I went over there in the middle of the night with a crowbar, and I smashed the air conditioner to pieces from the outside — I don’t want it, but I’ll be damned if I let him have it.
