:autism: Aurin needs💸:antifa:<p>Gonna send this email to landlord, please copy, adjust and send to yours as well:</p><p>Hello,</p><p>I am writing to make some ground rules known, to be followed from here on out.</p><p>I will not be taking phone or voicecalls, as you have made it clear that I need everything in writing. You have not kept your word in the past. I expect that to change. </p><p>I will not be answering the same questions over and over again. If I have gone to the trouble of informing you of issues or even provided pictures and videos, I expect you to refer back to my email or text before asking me to provide the same information again. You can ask for clarifications if needed. </p><p>Unless specified otherwise, I give permission for you to share the information I have given you whith the relevant people needed to adress the issue, for example repair people, contractors, plumbers, chimney sweep. In fact you need to let them know what their tasks will be and make sure they come prepared, equipped and with enough human power and time to safely complete the necessary tasks. </p><p>I am not your slave driver. If a contractor arrives again unprepared and underequipped for the work at hand, I will not ask them to endanger their health by doing the task anyway. </p><p>You need to give me a reasonable amount of time to answer your questions before restating them. If a matter is not urgent, I may take a full work day to respond. If the matter is trivial, I may take two weeks. If I cannot give an answer yet, I will wait until I can actually answer your question (for example: "Was the problem fixed?" can only be answered after the contractor has had time to fix it). </p><p>I am willing to keep you up to date on the issues with the property, but you also need to fulfil your duties as owner and landlord. I am not going to go out of my way to do your work for you.</p><p>I also need you to give me the relevant information I need in order to fulfill my own duties as tenant. It would have been useful to get the contact information or at least company names of the usual services (trash collection, septic tank emptying, chimney sweep). I did ask about these upon moving in. </p><p>- [same name as on lease]</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/alab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alab</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/renting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>renting</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/tenant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tenant</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TenantOrganizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TenantOrganizing</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TenantOrganiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TenantOrganiser</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TenantsUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TenantsUnion</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/landlord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>landlord</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/landlord_is_not_a_job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>landlord_is_not_a_job</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/template" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>template</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/resources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resources</span></a></p>
