Does anyone here have problems with their building administration?
I'm sure most of us do..... So I would love it if some people could help me out.
Here's the issue.
I live on the top floor of a building, and with most top floors there is problems with the roof leaking into my apartments.
I was originally above the door, and now it is effecting my neighbor, my self and really a lot of the people in the building...
As well because of this problem it has gone into the walls, and now is separating the wood floor in the kitchen and affecting the spacing and pushing some of the wood up.
I am currently doing small renovations to the place so it feels like a home to me(knowing i will never get that money back)
I am waiting to redo the floors at my cost because I have scratched them and want the all super shiny for me(I'm paying for)
And want to put up corner molding/base boards to finish the walls that I have just repainted.
What is the point when the roof is gonna leak; wreck the floors, and new moldings.....
I might as well just throw the money out the window and hope for a miracle
I have asked and pleaded with the Portero, Building Committee, and the Building Administration.... over the course of a year
They have said time and time again "Oh yes we know we will fix the problem, yes it approved, in 2 days don't worry etc.." ONE YEAR LATER!
(I have learned so much patience within my self about getting things done here, trust me I KNOW but..)
I am at my wits end.
Here comes the rainy season AGAIN
I have been in Argentina for a while now and know its difficult to know what/what not to say, how to say it, when, and with whom to recieve the most effective results.
Today was the last straw with the owner.
So what are my options?
What are my legal obligations?
Do I continue to pay the expenses knowing that they won't fix the problem?(Which I have just paid off today.)
What exactly is the owner responsible for?
Do I keep paying the rent?
Is there laws that protect the renter with consumer defense?
How do i get in touch with them?
I just want to make sure I get all of the information correct. I want to nail her to the wall; legally with out screwing my self in the process! Still being able to keep my home. (I love the view)
I want to contact a lawyer who knows about this sort of thing.. I can afford one that isn't North American Priced, I just want to have the basics fixed in the place and I am not asking for anything extraordinary.
(which I am currently doing with my own money)
HELP!
Thank you in advance!
