A guest accepted an invitation to a bachelorette trip and brought a close friend who repeatedly complained about work, food, heat, her dog, co-workers, sand, excursions and even a creaky door, which dampened the vacation atmosphere. The guest felt awful and apologized on the friend’s behalf; reassurance was given that the bride still enjoyed herself and the guest was told to stop revisiting the incident. A tenant loves the apartment but faces slow, inconsistent landlord maintenance: leaky faucets, a broken heater and a dishwasher out for over a month, with vague or no responses and denials of self-arranged repairs, despite timely rent payments and a desire not to jeopardize the lease.
"I took her up on her offer and invited a friend of mine who had been telling me how much she needed a getaway. Though we're close, I had never traveled with this friend either and I don't think I ever will again. She put a damper on the entire trip. She complained about work, the food, the heat, her dog, her co-workers, the sand, the excursions and even her creaky door back at home."
"Every time I submit a maintenance request, it takes weeks for anything to get fixed. I've had leaky faucets, a broken heater in the middle of winter, and now a dishwasher that hasn't worked for over a month. When I follow up, I either get vague responses or get ignored completely. I've tried to be patient and polite, but it's starting to feel like my concerns don't matter."
