Hey all
I live in a condo building that’s entirely rented out and managed by one company.
I have been having issues since I moved in with the hot water not being hot enough- but it’s been extremely intermittent with no patterns of time or day etc. Sometimes it’s 55°C and sometimes it’s 40°C with variations in between.
The management company has tried to say that 40°C is normal for hot water, they have also sent their ‘handyman’ and a plumber to check the temperatures on at least 10 occasions, sometimes with no notice and sometimes also with notice and then not even showing up.
They did some kind of repair two days ago and now the hot water is 40°C or less ALL of the time- and the company suggested we just ‘move out’ and they won’t charge us any penalties for breaking the lease.
I don’t want to move… I’ve spent 6 months here making this my home and have spent countless hours cleaning (whole other story with how disgusting this apartment was when I got here. Including chewing gum that was a big sticky mess in the dryer and black sludge in the overflows of the sinks that I had to clean).
What are my options? Any advice?
Thank you
