UPDATE: I TOTZ Believe That

I was just about to send my stupid former landlord rep guy an email asking what the frak was taking so long with my "second" security deposit refund check when, low and behold, it arrived in the mail. Hey thanks for letting me know when you were sending it to me, as I requested! Whatev, at least it came. And they took a $50 deduction for cleaning. Why it would cost that much to clean my apartment, I do not know. The bathroom and closet were the same size and it didn't have a kitchen.

But the good news is: I never have to deal with Horizon Realty again. Suck it Horizon Realty!!!

I Think We Went After The Wrong Evil Dick-tator

Can someone please explain to me why the people of Africa still get excited to see the pope? It doesn't make sense. What they should really be doing is lining up all of the AIDS orphans and giving them each a chance to kick the pope in the nuts. Yeah, that's right, I condone kicking the pope in the nuts. And you will too after reading this article.

I TOTZ Believe That

I moved out of my crappy studio apartment two months ago, but have yet to get my security deposit back. Several weeks ago, I e-mailed (paper trail!) Horizon Realty to see what the deal was, and no one ever got back to me. I waited about a week and then found the office manager's e-mail as well as the office e-mail of the guy who showed me the apartment originally and e-mailed both of them saying they had violated the 21 day waiting period for return of security deposits, I had been in touch with the WeHo Rent Stabilization and Housing Dept. and if they didn't let me know STAT when I was getting my deposit, I would pursue this in small claims court. No one e-mailed me back, but the agent guy did call and leave me a voicemail asking me to call his cell phone and saying Wow he totally sent the check like a long time ago, how weird that I hadn't gotten it. He claimed he would stop payment on the check he supposedly sent me and send a replacement check and he asked me to call him back on his cell, just so he could reassure me that he had sent a check. Uh huh. I accidentally deleted his voicemail before I'd written down his cell phone number, so I emailed him back, told him that and asked that he let me know via e-mail when he was sending the check, so I could have a record of when I expect to receive it. He wrote me back this morning from a gmail address saying "ok" and then a minute later wrote back "sorry didn't see the first message 323-555-5555." Cause clearly I still really want his cell phone number? Also, I don't know what he means by "first message" because me saying I deleted his voicemail and didn't write down his number and my request that he let me know via e-mail when I was getting my check was all in a single email.

But also, why does he keep giving me non-business contact info? His cell number, a g-mail account? I didn't actually think Horizon Realty could get less professional (did I mention that this agent guy inexplicable wrote only my first name on my lease?), but then they just did. Amazing.

I WANT MY SECURITY DEPOSIT!
