[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 6263305, member: 31216"] As to the OP: My brother was, at one time, a maintenance guy for an apartment complex. He's told me stories that make me shake my head. Like a dart board set up in front of a window. Spoiler: the window got broken. My step-father did some maintenance at an appartment complex we lived in for a while. As a child, I went with him to several calls in the apartments, but I don't remember seeing anything really bad. But that was in the 70s, so I wonder if times have changed some things. I lived in a one bedroom apartment when I was in college. When I finished and moved out, some weeks later I got a letter from the apartment manager saying that I wasn't getting my security deposit back because the refrigerator and kitchen counter were damaged and had to be replaced. This was a ridiculous charge, so my dad and I went there to see what they were talking about. The damage was a couple of minor dents that you had to view from the right angle to even find, and a few scratches that you could only barely feel with focused attention. I don't remember making those dents and scratches, and I had no way of proving I didn't make them -- no record of them when I moved in. I was highly pissed, but there was no ground for me to fight it from. But when I visited the apartment when they were replacing the fridge and counter, I saw the current state of the place. There were three college kids living there, (remember: one bedroom apartment). The place was a mess, and stunk, (smokers and a cat). I was/am naturally very neat and clean, but compared to those kids, I was damn fastidious. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
