And pour a cup of bleach down the drain out. Because if that backs up. It causes even more drama. The nasty funk water won't drain out the drip pan for the A-coil. It'll start smelling and rusting. Every month.

Does it have carpet ?

No. And all the insurance wants to do is give me money. They can't do anything about the AC. Landlord property, normal wear and tear.


Insurance says they're calling them to try and get me help. Whatever that means.



The only avenue left. Complaint to the Texas AG and city of Killeen. Leaving a happy note with the BBB.

However, there's a bright side. A big glowing light over the horizon.


I'm saving money on electricity.

Buy a window unit keep the unit for yourself send them an invoice for the price of the unit but call it install and labor...

I could but...


They said they're waiting on the estimate from the repairman. It's due today.


According to Texas law. The temperature plays the biggest part. The landlord has to fix it quickly. A few days is considered quick. We're on day two.


Remedies are fixing it myself. Charging the property management. That requires a certified letter of notification. Subtract cost from rent.


#1. buying a window unit.


Or


#2. Lease termination.


........


All I know. It's not getting fixed today. If it doesn't get fixed tomorrow by their fault. Then it's Texas law.


"You have a right to demand that the landlord repair any condition that materially affects your physical health or safety. § 92.052.

Justices of the peace have authority to order landlords to repair or remedy conditions affecting a tenant's physical health or safety, as long as the cost of the repair does not exceed $10,000. Tenants can go to justice court without an attorney to obtain a repair order. § 92.0563."


(Getting a judge to make them repair it)

My first thought pulling into Killeen on the bus in 1989 reporting to Ft Hood was what a shizzhole.

I worked on Fort Hood as a civilian quite a bit, it wasn't that bad, and security was pretty laxed to be honest

I exited the birth canal in Killeen. I don’t remember much about it but I popped out fairly easily I think. I don’t have any tong scars on my head.

[quote=Grasshopperglock]Check out the AC filter of my new rental. I was wondering why it smells like musky mold.


Are those spider eggs? The AC filter is over a year old. No wonder it's hard to breathe. Sneezing and fatigue.


Killeen Slumlord special.



My grandmother owned about 27 different pieces of rental property. One thing I learned watching my grandmother. It was kinda like what do you do with rental property if you want to make money………you do nothing. Thats the reason that AC filter looked the way it did.

Always the optimist

Any pics of the canal?

that one made me spew a little coffee on my keyboard

I’ll ask, taking mom to dinner this evening. She should probably take it as a compliment, right?

Not so much dealing with Killeen unless...

The number Wal-Mart gave me. That I transferred to Spectrum. Belonged to a lady that's now dead.


I'm getting calls from all kinds of people. One was her son, crying. Wanting to hear her voice one more time. But instead gets my semi bright disposition self. And I'm not much of grievance counsellor. Especially after 9pm.


Dammit Wally World. You gave me a dead lady's number.
