Management refuses to meet with tenant representatives and communication breaks down even further. Landlord needs more time to make repairs but doesn't inform the tenant. Management does not explain and is evasive about when it might be fixed. A major problem develops with the water lines to a development. Without warning or explanation, management shuts off water for two days.
Management sends eviction notices claiming violation of lease.
Tenants have not been forewarned of any complaints against them. A landlord who has been paying the water bill for some time suddenly sends the water bill to the tenant without explanation and without the notice required by law. Many form letters that landlords use are curt, poorly written, and cause unnecessary resentment. Landlords claim they are too busy to do otherwise, but the complications arising from this approach may cause greater problems. With a little thought, a form letter could say the same thing but in a way to minimize resentment.
