It was all about social distancing, not congregating on patio, washing hands, etc. Very detailed in how to behave during this Corona Virus crisis. They said maintenance wouldn't be done except for emergency things like leaks, floods, electric or stove repairs. So imagine my surprise....this morning, a worker knocked on my door and wanted to plaster my bathroom walls!! I told him we got a notice about no work being done because of the virus. So he left. Then I phoned the manager. He then told me the plasterer was necessary work to be done. Now this work of plumbing holes in the bathroom has been going on for months. We have received many notices of workers supposed to come...and they never showed up! So now that we are supposed to stay inside (especially senior citizens) and avoid contact with people....now is when they finally send the plasterer!! He has contact with many people....whereas my elderly mother and myself are staying inside as advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let them. They can spread it all over your place. Stay home for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with what is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but this management company is very strange since they took over five years ago! Always doing stressful things to tenants. The plasterer is supposed to come today. Now my friend has the virus....see my prayer request here at Worthy....so that makes me more leery of having workmen in, that they might spread it.

I looked through the window wearing a mask. They left quick. I found out later that they were trying to do the Census. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Management Company needs to be put in their place --- especially since this is a matter of life and death. Also, keep a journal of their treatment of tenants that causes unnecessary stress.

Hi Debp, I would refuse to let the plasterer come into your house since you are correct he is in contact with many people and we want you and your mother to be completely protected from unnecessary contact. I recommend taking a picture of your bathroom walls so you have proof that the repairs are not urgent. Also, keep the notice they sent you and if they try to pressure you to let the plasterer inside.

Oh, I don't want the stress of contacting a lawyer. About three or so years ago, two gals in this building got a lawyer and created a big ruckus trying to get this apartment management to shape up. They went around to all the apartments with a petition....got pages of signatures and complaints about this management company. I do keep paperwork showing quite a few things they did wrongly to us, just in case I need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
