Q: The Light Fixture Fell Down From An Apartment Just Rent In September
The light fixture just fell from an apartment that we just rent. Luckily, no one got injured. But, we, as college students, still felt that this incident was very dangerous. However, the leasing office response was "everything could happen." The argue point was that we signed the contract only two months ago, the apartment should be pre-checked. What if someone was sitting under that light at that time? What if the other lights from other rooms have this type of potential dangerous issue? Should we ask the leasing office for compensation, or what should we do to protect ourselves? Any information may help. Thanks.
A: First take pictures and videos. Second, write a letter to LL and explain all that happened and ask manager to fix the problems. Best of luck.
