location: Los Angeles, CA
Hi, I'm currently in the process of moving to another apartment, and I have about a week before I have to leave my current residence. About a month ago, I signed a leasing agreement at a new apartment. One of the big selling points of this property was their promise to do some construction work to add a wall and set up vinyl flooring for the unit at no expense to us. We signed a contract which included these changes by the move-in date.
Yesterday, I dropped by to sign some more paperwork and check out the renovations. However, it turned out that the renovations were not done, and the unit had been left untouched without any work done at all. This left me quite frustrated, as I had checked with them twice [once after signing the initial paperworkd and another time a couple days later] that they would install the vinyl flooring. Furthermore, they said the unit would be ready by May 10th, and I was perplexed as to why nobody bothered to check at any point in the process.
That said, I am trying to get them to install the flooring. They are trying to offer me a 2nd parking spot as consolation. That is unacceptable. I am wondering if I can force them to install the floors using legal measures. Or in the case that the contract becomes nullified, if I can have them pay for my lodging for a few weeks while I find another place.
For whatever reason, whether honest or dishonest, they screwed up and I want them to either fix the problem or pay for the financial inconvenience they have caused [due to their failure] while I resolve the issue.
Thanks for your time and hopefully I can get some quick responses...
