I used to rent an apartment in a complex, plus when my lease was up, I swore I would never live in an apartment again.
There were small window mounted cooling system units in every room, plus a shared water heater for each building.
I had to pay my own energy bills, however since I didn’t ever leave a light on while I wasn’t in a room, I was never distraught about the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C. The cooling system units were all in place when I moved into the building. I was only there for a month when the sizable A/C machine in my family room broke. I called the maintenance person Steve plus told him about the cooling system. He came over plus took one look at it plus chuckled. Steve told me, ‘yeah, it’s broke’, took his tools plus walked out. I asked if he was going to update the cooling system, plus Steve said he would have one in the apartment 1st thing Sunday afternoon. I didn’t mind waiting 48 hours for the cooling system unit.Sunday afternoon, Steve the maintenance person was knocking on my door at 7 AM. Steve wanted to install the cooling system machine before I left for work. I told Steve to get it inside, although I was heading out. When I got to the condo that afternoon, there was paperwork on the dining room table. It was all the information about the cooling system unit, including the bill. I called the front office plus told them I didn’t cut the a/c machine plus I wasn’t paying. They added it into my rent payment plus told me I was there when it broke, which made it my responsibility.
