For the renter in our next story, his building's transfer to a new leasing agency was the first of many huge property letdowns. After living in his apartment for 7 years, he'd finally had enough when the emergency phone line to the maintenance crew onsite left him hanging. In fact, after a potentially life-threatening incident, the original poster of this story stands by his two-week notice.
