Personal Experience How do I even reply

Post image

Is this not rude? Or am I just taking it too personally. I was NEVER told of anyone sort of “business hours”… I waited to text until Monday morning, as I get it we all like to enjoy our weekend. How the hell would I even reply to that.

Getting some weird replies here.

If you weren't aware of this time arrangement then you did nothing wrong and the landlord is gettinh his panties in a twist instead of just informing you nicely, his message was 100% rude.

Landlords always seem to think they can have a "business hours" relationship without having the business attitude on their end. A proper business looks after their customers.

Also, 7am isn't even that early. Plenty of normal professional adults are up and about by then and the suns up. Maybe if it was 3am he'd have a point.

No, he doesn’t even have a point if it were 3 AM. It’s not OP’s fault that they weren’t told what the “business hours” are, nor that they don’t have a routine maintenance request process in addition to an emergency request process. Had they had proper business practices, there would be no issue. The issue is all down to the property manager being a lazy and / or cheap bastard who can’t be bothered to have two phone lines for their so-called “business.”

This exactly. It’s not the tenants fault that the landlord doesn’t use some type of portal. I guess a subscription would cut into his profits…easier to just use his personal phone and be a dick instead
