Soon after I moved in, I noticed that many things in the apartment are broken. Near the bathroom, the wood pieces of the parquet floor fall apart. Water enters the floor and the walls in several places. Few days after my arrival, the light in the bathroom broke, only to be followed by the light in the kitchen. The latter took weeks to be replaced - as you could open the fridge's door to have light in the kitchen; while the former was replaced more quickly just to break again soon thereafter. The toilet seat is shaky and the shower curtain is really a curtain and totally powerless to prevent water from penetrating it. When I do my laundry, the water used by the machine enters the hallway after it is done. The antenna of the internet router broke off recently. And one morning, I was preparing my breakfast on the table in the kitchen, when one leg broke away letting the whole table fall over with all the ingredients, spices and oils on top of it. What a mess!
Too much is broken so that I don't think, my landlord will ever learn. His standards must truly be different. However, wonders happen! He fired the cleaner to replace him with a lady. She was overwhelmed by all the dirt in the apartment and immediately requested more money for the job...
Nevertheless, broken things remain broken...
