Our house had a recent cleansing of roommates (half of 6 left), so the Landlady has
other work to do.
Weird though, everything and work and home breaks simultaneously .
The Thermostate for the heaters is buzzing now, frankly I would just prefer fix it myself.
( I am sure it is the timer clock).
Can anyone tell me how to disconnect the clock without rewiring my brain via electro-shock
therapy. I just want the buzzing to stop and don't care if the clock works or not. If landlady
wants it working, she can have her husband put in a new timer.
Thanks all, hope this is easy.

Re: Renter woes
Sun, December 7, 2008 - 12:53 PMIt's unlikely that there is a generic response. What brand and model is the thermostat?
The voltages in the line won't be high. They'll likely be in 24VDC. But if you are worried you can either pull the power at the transformer ( by the furnace) or flip the breaker off for that line.

Wed, December 10, 2008 - 12:43 AMThanks Cliff. I unplugged it today and cut the wires to the clock portion of the thermostat. SILENCE is achieved. -

Re: Renter woes
Thu, December 11, 2008 - 12:43 PMYeah, but now you can't set your heat to come on and off by time of day, right? I do a slot of settings on mine to save on my heating bills. And it's pretty easy to replace a thermostat. -

I have one of those fancy schmancy thermostats installed. they put ti in when I did HVAC on the building a couple years back .
I don't use it. It is more of a pain in the ass ti program than it is to just turn the temperature back when I retire or go out.

Sun, December 14, 2008 - 12:22 PMin a lot of cases you can with hold your rent until repairs get made. Or do the repairs yourself, keep the receipts and take the repair charges off of your rent. I you plan on doing these things however, it's important to document every correspondence you have with your landlord. -

Re: Renter woes
Wed, March 11, 2009 - 11:57 AMAs far as doing the repairs yourself, you have to give the landlord the opportunity to fix the issue. According to landlord tenant law in most states, they have 72 hours to either fix the issue or come look at it and tell you when it will be fixed. You cannot just fix something, and then charge the landlord. They have to be notified of the problem and given the chance to fix it. If they do not, then make sure you write down when you called the landlord... dates and times and all that. You would have to have documentation if it ever went to court, as UGG mentioned.
Never assume you can deduct an item from rent... always check with the landlord, if they do not respond, then you have a right to attempt to recoup the losses you incurred... and if you just deduct from the rent, then the landlord can show that you did not pay the full rent and then they have a right to take action against you...
Just things to think about when covering you ass... -

Re: Renter woes
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 11:07 AMMy bais is that I have worked in Property Management for 10 years as a maintenance supervisor and attended numerous workshops and conferences. I know this because I have to know what responsiblities we have to tenants... and the fact that landlord tenant law has been carried over is irrelevant when considering a lawsuit or claim regarding a work order request and laibilities. I have been personally involved in several lawsuits myself on both sides... plaintiff and defendant
What is your basis for this post? Are you trying to say you know something about it? If so, why ask me a rhetorical question? Just state what you know... or rather look up the state laws yourself... I myself don't claim to know the laws of each state, but can state with a general knowledge of laws in several states... and certain cases. Many of these cases and lawsuits on who pays what are decided on a case by case basis... and sometimes new precedents are made. Many cases are actually decided on previous cases as well. -

Re: Renter woes
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 11:21 AMMight I add, that if you think it was "...outright bad advice" I chalk that up to your personal opinion, which is your right, but you have no right to marginalize my advice because you want to seem right.
I will stand by that advice any day. That 72 hour response time is an actual Federal guideline that HUD uses to assess a score of a property management company, when performin a REAC inspection on a given federally funded property. Furthermore, they use that basis in their judgement of tenant / landlord suits... (and a Federal court is where any suit would end up if appealed past a state level) so my advice is a useful guide to go by... not the final word by any means, but what advice is that? That is why they call it advice.... which is sometimes defined as...an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action. Hence my "opinion" offered as a guide to action. -

Re: Renter woes
Fri, March 13, 2009 - 11:31 AMI stand by advice... and to your weak attempts at marginalizing my advice, I scoff. You attorney types all think you are above the rest of us, and I would say that your diatribe is a useless waste of bandwidth. Trying to call me a phony... well you know what, that is simply your opinion, which you are entitled to as I am sure you know... I don't care what or where you practice or live.... what lawsuits you have been involved in... or what your lame credentials are.
I speak from experience in dealing directly with issues such as these. My opinion is that you are speaking from some sort of feeling of self-entitlement. I know quite a few lawyers, and every one of them had the same sort of air of pompous self entitlement just as you seem to bring... I suggest you take it easy and stick to what you do best.... being an ass.
To the original poster.... yeah, 72 hours is the standard. You can check online to see the state tenant landlord laws of any given state. And if you want a lawyer the "old man" could use an ego boost... and possibly something to do. -

Re: Renter woes
Sat, March 14, 2009 - 11:06 AMYawn.... go tell it to the judge you moron.
You have a certain malice to you that is not conducive to the reasons I am here. I have not seen someone get so bent out of shape over another person giving advice.
In the future you might want to allow others to decide whether or not they wish to consider any advice given. It's called advice for a reason... and this is DIY... not ask an egotistical ass that thinks he is an expert... I didn't see that anyone asked your opinion about my advice... I know I didn't.
I have nothing but sympathy for such an angry soul as you...
Namaste

"I am giving you a hard time because you are being irresponsible. You don'tknow what you are talking about yet you are adamant that your advice is sound."
-------------------------
I must say SoT (old man) has been restrained, on point, logical and informed. (And he can be a real virulent asshole.)
Just take a breath and let reason prevail: your 'advice' is anecdotal.
His is reasoned, deeper in scope and overall, a pretty well stated relating of the relevant law on the matter...
DIY in practice and in spirit only benefits from the contributions of skilled folks or experts.

Re: Renter woes
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:03 PMWhy not post the actual message and show everyone what a liar you are. I wrote one word in there that is quite fitting for you , a**hole. I am certain even you would agree to that description.
And yes I did file a TOU complaint against you. Are you going to lie again and say that you wouldn't do the same? You are acting like a troll or a child, not sure which is more fitting.
Many attorneys are adept at lies, so I shouldn't be suprised that you would pretend that the message was me "...calling (you) all kinds of names."
Anyway... what has been written has been written, and you can choose to keep up with your "satire" as you call it, (more like you trying to defame me which is against the rules of Tribe's rules of conduct) or you can just let it go like I am, with the exception of you removing the photo I asked you to remove of my avatar with your smart ass "janitor" label below it. I was told by Tribe Help that you told them you removed it... and it's still there.... hmmm.... lying again. Your good at that aren't you? How about creating fake profiles of other members with their photo? or using someone's blog to ridicule them? You sound like a real bitter person to me, why are you even a part of a site where people are supposed to come together?
I would say it's because you get off on ridiculing others and flaunting your knowledge of the loopholes in laws.
On to the main purpose of this post.... and I hope that the OP got the issue figured out.

I haven't been reading this thread
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 7:15 AMBut my attention was drawn to it by a member of the tribe and I gotta say that you guys need to walk away from the pissing match.
Myork: Your vulgarity and name calling was unnecessary - and yes you started with the name calling and vulgarity.
Now, you are going to stop it.
Myork said:
You have simply got to be the biggest ass
Just things to think about when covering you ass...
I suggest you take it easy and stick to what you do best.... being an ass.
You have simply got to be the biggest ass I have encountered in a while.
Yawn.... go tell it to the judge you moron.

And yes I did file a TOU complaint against you. Are you going to lie again and say that you wouldn't do the same? You are acting like a troll or a child, not sure which is more fitting.
******************************************************-
You didn’t file your complaint with me and I am all the TOU there is.
You will stop with the name calling and flame bating.
This is not a negotiation.
Old man: Calling Myork a "janitor" may not have been vulgar but it was a deliberate insult.
This all ends here.

Fri, March 20, 2009 - 7:24 PM***********The dude is a glorified janitor with obvious mental problems.
Boot me from this bad advice loser tribe for speaking the truth, I don't give a shit.*************
I will if you don't stop challenging me.
My full ride fare is $800.00 I have seen $600 as fees from a judge in a fraud matter.
Back to business at hand:
This tribe is not the place for personal attacks.
If you feel mistreated bring it to me and don't engage in self help.
You feeling mistreated will find vindication when I disclipline the offender.
You engaging in self help only makes you into another offender.
If that's not good enough for you then take your show on the road.

A word to the wise, if you need professional help seek a pro, like a social interaction coach. Whilst some of us have lots of experience some of us are mickey mousers, never done it before...and in between.
I think if you want to play self-important-I-know-more-than-you, have kids or get into politics.

Re: I haven't been reading this thread
Mon, March 23, 2009 - 4:44 PMI'll admit that I over-reacted just to own up to it.... but I don't do well with people marginalizing me. My advice was not in any way out of line.
I know the right thing to have done would have been to ignore it. But alas, hindsight is always 20/20. I did not file a TOI with you as I was directed to you as a link, rather another entity in Tribe.
The name calling was quite fitting I will have to add though. I am not always at the top of my game, as was evident. I will formally apologize to the members of this group and anyone that was offended by my "vulagarity" and call it a day.
I've been working on leftover defenses I had from growing up on the street. I know this is not the street and I was in no danger, but old habits sometimes die hard.
Once again... my apologies to those I offended.... -
