Plumbing Woes and Managerial Bastages:

I do believe we are moving.

Some of you may remember me jumping up and down, pulling my hair out and whining about the plumbing in our bathroom a few weeks ago, how we lost our tub for three days. Some more of you may remember the bit about the indoor waterfall in the kitchen from the upstairs neighbors kitchen drain pipe breaking just ten days ago. The upstairs neighbors toilet is running feces and urine and whatever else they put in their toilet straight into my bathroom. It drips down the walls, pours out of the vent fan, runs out of the ceiling, dribbles onto my floor, my toilet, my bathtub, onto my shower curtain and all of my belongings that were in there (hair brushes, hair ties, ribbons, make up, barrettes... EVERYTHING). You can actually SEE feces coming thru the walls. This started Friday night. Nothing has been done. The on site manager can do nothing until the property managers return the calls we have made because there is asbestos insulation in the ceiling and walls. We are living in a house with RAW SEWAGE seeping through the walls. We can not use our bathroom for anything. You cant use the toilet or bathe. Indy hasn't had a bath, I haven't had a bath, Chris took a shower at his moms. There is standing liquid on the floors. What it is I refuse to guess. When the upstairs neighbors flush their toilets, fluids of various consistencies and scents GUSH down into our home. HELP! What do I do. We cant live here. I told our on site managers that we want to move first thing in the morning. We want the same rent we pay now in a different unit. We want sanitation or we will get a lawyer and they will PAY. Problem is that we cant afford a lawyer. We cant afford to move. If the property managers don't want to do anything about this, we have no recourse. I fervently pray that Indy doesn't get ill from this.

Now, I have to find my key to my mother in laws apartment because I have to potty, and unless I want to pee on the ground in the courtyard in front of my neighbors I have to let myself into someone else's home.
