Not sure where else to put this story, but here goes...
Since early December, the elevator in my nine-story building broke down. Maintenance has done nothing to fix the situation. Sometime in January, the property manager (let's call him Clay, because that's his real name) offered us a compensation contract: $45 per diem since the day the elevator broke until the day it is fixed on the condition that we don't sue them. That is actually enough to cover for our entire rent, so my apt mate and I agreed. However, just yesterday, after nearly two months since the we signed the original contract, our compensation credits were supposed to be applied to our online account, but instead we get an email from the "senior property manager" (let's call her Jo, because that's her real name), saying that Clay sent out an invalid contract for reasons X, Y, Z, and instead we are going to be sent a new compensation contract for $1.50 per diem instead of $45.
Every tenant in the building is utterly pissed. We are talking about collectively withholding our rent payments and keeping our own ledger of what they owe us. We are talking about throwing graffiti up all over the building, flying "Brothel" banners out of every window, pulling the fire alarm every day, etc.., until we get what we want. We're talking about getting the local news station down here. It's nice to be a part of something, but obviously I wish they'd just give us what we want.
Anyway, this is going to end up costing me $2000+ dollars. Or not; I can't decide whether I'm going to cave and give them rent, as I don't want to get evicted. But **** them.
