版主,I didn't mean to cause any 'trouble' here. Just want to be fair/reasonable to both side and act/react properly.
I think your comments are excellent. Thank you so much for your time and help.
I will write up a letter (via a certified mail) and request the landlord and PM to correct the issue in 30 days.
Also, the ceiling has several areas that have yellowish stains. The wide life preventive service company said it could be possibly due to the animal droppings and discharges. However, the tricky PM said if there is no more water/liquid leakage, then that is possible old leakage and the source could have been fixed before we moved in. I have not told him that I have someone already checked the apartment.
All the landlords here in this forum have shown hard working and very good professionalism. I have not seen anyone like this “lao-wai” PM that is so slow to respond.
Anyway it could be a hard lesson & good learning experience … I'll let you know how it goes.
