Among Friends

[Jackhound Mom]

A couple that owned a home on our street was going to move in to their home which had always been rented.  DH met them and gave our # and offered to answer questions for them.  They had a managment co. handling their home who  told them a window was broken out which was against HOA rules.

They called Us and asked if we would go down to the home and wait (maybe all day) for the repair company to come, No time given.  We said "no" please ask your managment co to do it as they were still getting paid.

Wow some people really have nerve don't they

[Alison Wonderland]

Good for you for saying no. That's ridiculous. You're right, that's exactly what the management company is paid to do.

Some people just don't think. Out of touch.

The request wouldn't be a big deal to me...I'd give my phone number to the repair company & have them call me when they arrived. 

[Jackhound Mom]

@kitcat51That is a nice idea but we did not have the owner's # or the repair co.  

I sure would do that for one of my neighbors that I know in this neighborhood but didn't have the ability with that couple.  They called from another state.  It really was the rental co's job I think.

DD does this and I just demand heat and food in payment.  Evens out in the end.

@Jackhound Mom  Reading your "neighbor requests" I'm very happy I don't live in your 'hood.  What a bunch of freeloading people you have to deal with.  Have you been living there long?  Or are you a "newbie" that the neighbors feel they can take advantage of?  

[chrystaltree]

They asked, your husband declined.  I don't see anything worth posting about.  Your husband approached them and gave them his number and probably said something like; call me if I can be of any help to you.  So they did......

I don't want to be responsible for other people's property or repair issues. So for me i'd say no.
