No news is NOT good news

Don’t be fooled. Just because I didn’t blog yesterday it doesn’t mean that everything is fine at my daughter’s apartment. She continues to stay at a nearby hotel, and to this very moment, NO ONE of any official capacity has gotten back to her with a clean-up/repair plan or estimated date of completion.

Conversations with a neighbor have revealed that flooding has been an ongoing problem for this group of apartments, and the response from the apartment management has ranged from slow to non-existent. The neighbor mentioned an increase in her asthma symptoms triggered by the mold growing in the utility hallway.
Needless to say, my daughter has purchased a mold testing kit and will be presenting any findings to the apartment management. Her neighbor has decided to move out.

It seems to me, the apartment complex should offer the affected tenants the ability to move into other, dry apartments at the same rent for at least the duration of their leases. But so far, that kind of thinking seems a bit too difficult for people who can’t even respond in the first place.
