What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have been having a continuous problem with my apartment complex. 4 years ago I moved into the apartments. From the first day I moved in we had sprinkler problems. Pretty much the sprinklers are terrible, they spray everywhere. I park at least 3-5 feet away from the sprinklers trying to not get sprayed, but its impossible because at that point I'm at the back of the white line in the parking spot. The sprinklers spray is so bad that every time I want to leave my apartment I get wet. So wet that the water can actually reach my shoulders and I'm 5"11. Me and my neighbor have complained many times over the years. We always just washed our cars to remove the water spots since they damage paint, plastic and windows. Just this last year they told us not to wash our cars anymore and its now a rule. After that I complained even more about the sprinklers and nothing (back in sep) we'll winter came up and the sprinklers were no longer an issue. At the end of may I bought a new set of head lamps for my car because of the previous water spot damage. The headlamps were barley a few weeks old when the sprinklers started coming back on. They have permanent water spots now. Its over 100degrees in my town (Davis) and my paint is starting to have stuck water spots as well.
I'm at school every day during the week and they turn the water on everyday around 1pm-3pm. I've complained telling them to water earlier because the high heat will cause the water contaminates to permanently bond to the paint, windows and plastic's of our cars. On top of this I've washed my car many times at the Quarter washing places, just to have my car get water spots the next day. There is not 1 parking spot in the whole apartments (over 300 units) that doesn't get hit with water. I've tried moving spots and I'm always getting hit.
I made one last complaint because I cant take it anymore and they replied with this letter (attached)
Can I take legal action against them? Can I sue for the cost of new head lamps since they damaged mine that were brand new? Can I sue for the cost of a car detail for the water damage (if the detailed says it needs to be painted then the cost of a paint job)? Could I write a cease and desist letter or would I need a lawyer to help me? Or is there a way to force them to fix the sprinklers??
They also tried to adjust them, but it didn't work. The pressure is just turned up way to high causing the sprinklers to reach over 5 feet in the air.
