Q: Can a property manager take your clothes from laundry room and not tell you where he put them for 3 weeks?
Property manager and his boss kept making me ask each other where my laundry was for 3 weeks. It was destroyed by mold before I got it back.
A:
No, a property manager shouldn't take your clothes from the laundry room without informing you. This situation is both unfair and unprofessional. You have the right to know where your belongings are and to have them returned promptly.
The fact that they kept making you ask each other where your laundry was for three weeks is unacceptable. This kind of behavior can be considered negligent and potentially malicious. It’s important to document all communications you had with them regarding this issue.
You may want to consider reporting this incident to higher authorities or a tenant rights organization. Keeping a detailed record of what happened will be crucial if you decide to take further action. It’s important to ensure your belongings are respected and you receive appropriate compensation for the damages.
