We moved in this house in last July. We found several small issues in the house and submitted the maintenance requests. According to the property manager, their regular maintenance person is an old man who does not work regularly. It sounded that the person does his work as a side business / hobby, so that when he doesn’t feel like it, he won’t come to fix the issues. It was proved. Four months later after we submitted the repair requests, the person came. It was December 14th. One of the issues was a screen of the window of the master bathroom. The person took the frame out from the window and told us he would come back. Then he took off. He never came back. I thought I should give up asking him to come back and fix it. We are renting this house and don’t want to create any uncomfortable relationship between the property manager, which we experienced it at the previous rent house. So, I gave up.
But an interesting thing happen. After I completely gave up and release the negative thought about the repair person, he came to our house and finally fixed the screen.
This event reminded me the importance of letting go. Now I am happy with the new screen attached to the bathroom window.
