EDIT: since none of you incels can read and have no compassion, I’m not talking about going after them. I made no mention of taking legal action against them. I’m not trying to sue, I’m just trying to be familiar with the laws. I want to make sure they’re doing everything that they are legally obligated to do, and know my rights as a tenant. It’s the fact that this happened in sub-100 temperatures and they have made no attempt to find a solution quicker. There are dozens of electricians in the area that we could call- or they could call- to get this resolved sooner than [unknown time] tomorrow. 48 hours without A/C in this heat is most definitely an emergency that should be taken seriously. If our power went out tomorrow and we had to wait until Thursday, we’d just eat it, and deal with it. It’s going to be 80 and cooler the next 3 days- that is a stark difference in temperature to be without A/C than 95 degrees. Jesus, people. Use some reading comprehension PLEASE.
My power went out last night, and I’ve been without a/c or electricity since about 4:30pm yesterday. Property management said that someone would come by last night but they weren’t sure about the window. Then after we got no updates and had to email management ourselves for one, they called saying that someone likely wouldn’t come out until tomorrow. This was at 9:30/10pm. It’s 95 degrees out, we have pets. They offered to reimburse us for a hotel for the day (last night) but we have cats- I don’t want to put them through the stress of moving to an unfamiliar hotel, if we could even find one that would allow us to stay in a room with 3 cats. My roommate took hers to her parents house in Phoenix, mine and I are staying home. I tried to call and ask if we could get our own to come out and was told no because they have “warranties and contracts”… it’s 95 degrees. There has to be some law here in Arizona that protects tenants in extreme heat in situations like this?? What can I do?
They also offered $200 in next months rent for the inconvenience … that doesn’t even cover all of our groceries that are going to go bad from this. I’m putting up a fight for more but I don’t know how much to ask for - anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
