I am in the middle of a monsoon! I can hear the cracked concrete walls giving in to the storm outside. It' won't be long now I think, before the rathole of an apartment starts caving in on me. Hell, if it did I'd probably be able to sue my mongoloid landlord for loads of money.
I hate my landlord, I have long considered dropping my old computer on his head when he comes up the stairs but haven't thought it through well enough. If it happens I guess you will read about it in the papers.
I used to have an old lady as a landlord, she phoned me up every day and told me to move home with my mom again because I was making too much noise and having too many drinkabouts at my place. She never gave me a written warning though so she couldn't do anything about it. I got this new landlord 2 years ago, he's an ugly little man with what I think is a glass eye. He introduced himself properly and said that he would start reconstructing the 3 buildings he bought at the start of 2007. Great I thought, I didn't see him for over a year and didn't hear a word from him except when I phoned him up after I lost my keys on a night out (that is an amazing story, will share it with you at a later moment).
December 2008 he tells me that everyting has gone through the paperwork and all of that so he wants to reconstruct my entire apartment, I swiftly answer "Yeah, only 2 years too late". The old man starts to mumble and I can't really make out what he is saying, not that I care too much either. He then tells me that they are gonna start with my neighbours apartment and after that it's my apartment. I like the thought of having a brand new apartment and start looking forward too it.
The reconstruction of my neighbours apartment seems to take ages, 3 months passes by and nothing seems to happen. I question my landlord the next time I see him about what is going on. He says they have encountered some problems and that my apartment is on schedule in april and also tells me that I need to get rid of my cat.
-Excuse me, what did you say?
-You need to get rid of your cat.
-Are you fucking kidding me you old fart?
-Not gonna reconstruct your apartment if you keep it.
-Is that right you idiot? What if I kicked your dog out of my staircase? It shouldn't be running around here. It can bite someone.
The idiot says nothing and the conversation ended.
In the middle of april someone's knocking on my door, it's the landlord. He says that I should have the apartment ready in 4 weeksand that I can keep my cat, fine I say. 2 weeks later I ask him how it's going and he says that he will need another 4 weeks. I tell him that I demand to know what time it's gonna be since I need to move my broadband, TV and phone subscription to the new place I get while my apartment is being worked in. The retard ask me if it's worth the money it's gonna cost me. I simply tell him that it's gonna cost be jack shit since he is intruding on me in which I am right. He goes furious and tells me I can live in the flat while they are working here. Fine, but that's gonna get a whole lot more expensive for you. I am entitled to reduced rent if there is loud noise, kitchen/bathroom isn't working properly and I can't have my privacy. The idiot goes berserk and I just laugh at him.
A few weeks later he says that he is ok with me moving my subscriptions and that he'll pay for it, and he'll need the apartment on monday. So I host "Destroy the apartment party" and everyone is welcome. This was on a friday and it was one hell of a party, on saturday daytime I have some friends over to watch a movie - or several. Knocks on the door again (it's only him that knocks)I open up and there he is with 4 garbage bags in his hands saying he thinks they belong to me.
-Ofcourse they do, but there's no trashbins outside so I just put them next to the backdoor entrance for you to sort them out.
-You need to RECYCLE your garbage!
- Recycle my ass, what's the point anyway since ther's no trashbins?
-They are in one of the garages!
-And when was I notified about this? Can I even open the garage with my key and which one is it?
-No you can't and it's the garage furthermost to the left.
-Fuck that then, you handle the garbage I leave on the backside untill you give me a key and notify me properly.
He then tries to step inside my apartment, I get furious with him and kick him down the staircase.
Needless to say, I didn't get a reconstruction. My walls are full of text that I can't remove. I don't mind myself. I like living like a hobo.
However I spoke to him again recently and allthough it wasn't the friendliest conversation he said he wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I'll fill in when I know more.
