If my hot water is turned on, it leaks into the neighbors below. They turned off my hot water on Friday night, and told me I would find out on Monday when they will have it fixed by. Luckily I was away for the weekend on a trip to Izu hot springs.
I was called into my landlord's lawyers office last night to find out my landlord had declared bankruptcy, and is trying to sell my apartment to a new owner. Now that this pipe has a leak, the buyer has backed out because the conditions of the unit have changed.
Which means I'm stuck in an apartment with no hot water owned by a bankrupt landlord who can't afford to pay to have the pipes repaired.
So these mother fuckers want me to pay for a repair that might end up costing four to five thousand dollars(?!), only to have the money go as credit to my next six or seven months of rent.
Which is a huge risk to take, because who knows what might happen, especially with a new owner stepping in who I would probably have to take to small claims court to have my rent forgiven/repair-money returned.
The douchey snaggle toofed lawyer boy is coming tonight with his pipe-masters to give me an estimate I guess...but I think I might just start looking for new places.
fuck ryan. Japan is seems so weird. I can't believe that it's left up to you to pay for the pipe repair. Did you sign a lease of any sort? And who exactly is asking for you to pay for the repair? I could only imagine that a trip to court would result in the state validating the decision to have the foreigner subsidize the broke as landlord. wow... fucked up.
yeah... apparently Japanese law often favors the leaser in cases like this, so that's good to hear, but who knows how it would go.
Its just that... of course the owner of a property should be the one to pay for infrastructural repair. But in this case, the owner has declared bankruptcy, so has no money to pay for such repair. Therefor I live there without hot water until perhaps a new owner buys it up and finally pays for it, OR I live here the last three weeks (that I've already paid rent for) going to the neighborhood public bath while looking for a new place to move into by the end of the month.
Man, my sentances don't make no sense anymore.
That is the most crooked thing I've ever heard! So since the landlord is bankrupt then he can just get the tenants to fend for themselves like they suddenly own the fucking place? So have you stopped showering altogether? Maybe you'll start hanging out at the local sentoh, become the local sentoh boy, turn some tricks and get that pipe fixed...
That reminds me of my boss at the company in Okayama I worked for, who I found out via the grapevine was spending money that parents had entrusted him with, and intended for their kids studying abroad in Hawaii. How do you expect to get away with something like that?
Yeah, went to the Sentou last night.
T'was DYNOMITE!
Be there again tonight too!
They have an electric bath that is constantly sending a mild current into your body and makes your dingle tingle.
Kyle, could this fuck up someone's heart?
Ryan, I think you should buy the building, fix the pipe, then raise everyones rent 100%.
I was talking with my friend about buying the room... he's thinking it would cost 50 thousand or something.
No idea if that's on target or not.
but...
the UPDATE is that the old man who runs the RE agency that introduced me is getting super sleuthey on the case, and told me not to pay another dime until I've got my water back and have been reimbursed for SENTOU costs.
Someone who might buy the unit stopped by last night with HIS water guys, and said they might pay for it, and get it all done this weekend , so lets hope this works out.
Otherwise Sam & Ann Marie will dippin' with me in the neighborhood sentou... which is actually a good thing.
Glad I finally had a reason to check it out, its really awesome and feels nice. Plus there's a beer machine right outside the lockerroom door where everyone quietly chills the fuck out with wet hair, sweat pants, and cigarettes and watches tomorrow's weather forecast.
dont buy that room, pet.
it has the be the house from vertigos final showdown.
all or nothing, rew.
and - old pipes in the floor in the summer...bad bad bad idea.
