Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have a great trip, sara!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Safe journey, sara, and safe return. Have fun in the middle!

Allyson, you really need you and Ruby to be in a hotel--this isn't safe for your health, or your belongings. I know once half the contacts Strega posted see the damage, you will, in fact, own the building, or very nearly. Go get 'em. This is unacceptable on any level.

Thanks all. Need to power down the laptop and put it away (no, I do not travel with my computer. Shocking, isn't it?!)

Our wings are not tired.

Have a wonderful trip sarameg. Smooth travels.

Allyson, you really need you and Ruby to be in a hotel--this isn't safe for your health, or your belongings.

This. Mold & mildew grow very quickly. What would a pet-friendly hotel in the area cost? You should be able to get that money back but the out-of-pocket expense sucks. Or can you possibly crash with someone? The first thing to find out from HRC or whoever you speak to is that you're within your rights to withhold this month's rent (and yeah, you'll have to put it in an escrow account).

Take photos of the damage (and any of your belongings that may become damaged) if you haven't done that. I'd also make a record of all your phone calls & emails to the landlord, and his lack-of-response, while it's fresh. I'm sorry this is such a nightmare.

It really is too bad that Allyson already paid July's rent.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Allyson, what everyone else has said.

Damn jackholes need some smiting.

hmm, the post office lobby used to be open until 5, for the APC, now only 4. I guess I'll get up early and mail things in the am.

the new A/c seems to still be working, even after I left and ran errands (that is when it broke the last time).
