yesterday we handed over the keys etc. to the owners POA and agent. they had spent more than an hour in the apartment on saturday supposedly inspecting it to see the problems that we had brought out. but instead of really looking around they had spent the time saying the apartment looked in great condition and trying to pressurise us to feel the same.
so yesterday when the first thing the agent did was scoot around, calling the POA and trying to show her what she claimed we had spoiled we got so mad. we told them to sign the letter or leave that they had plenty of time for inspection yesterday and that they could inspect as much as they liked after we left. at first they ignored us but when we yelled and said we would leave with the keys if they continued the behaviour they scooted back and signed. we left.
we felt such a sense of relief as we got out of there, though even then i knew that i was the one furthest from closure. the decision to close the deal completely for me was based mostly on the fact that my mother is unwell and i needed to see her. my husbands mother has had surgery in both eyes and he needs to see her too. we could not be here to follow through with CST or CASE even if we had wanted that.
i am happy with the choice we made. but it is the social activist part of me that needs to do something yet. yesterday we sent a complaint to the agents boss not really expecting a reply. but this morning we see a very sincere reply from him along with an apology. i am glad that some investigation will be made but i don't care to know what the result will be.
i also want to post on some public forum some sort of cautionary note about the space but yet unsure where.
this weeks been surreal. and i am glad that i am far from it. complete closure for me might take some time and reflection and releasing the trauma from the experience continues. today i will visit the physio and have my messed up back attended to.
thanks to friends who have read and responded and thanks to the silent readers. blogging daily has been therapeutic for me and knowing that people read it and understood added to that. time to be quiet for a while.
