I am going to loss my apartment over a stain!
The apartment complex I am in is doing a inspection on bathrooms, appliances, and flooring conditions on the 19th. If carpets need cleaned then they will charge over $100 to do it. It will be added to your rent. I am on HUD/VASH. They will not cover the cleaning cost. We don't have $100! If we do not pay by a certain time we are out. work on the
Their is a couple of spots as well as the problems we all have in high traffic areas. A cleaning would be great, but we can not afford it. And now I risk my apartment over it
Lady Freedom Returns (3,496 posts)What kind of stains are they, one asks.
4. All I have is food stamps.
Lady Freedom Returns (3,496 posts)That was a good one. Did she try to clean it when they spilled the cola? Did they notice it had carpets when they moved in? If so, did they think carpets are 'self-cleaning'?Did they not read the contract, especially the portion about cleaning and inspections?
5. No money.
And it is soda. Can Soda come up with soap and water?
I was mystfied and went to look at something; I don't recall this primitive as being among the slovenly ones.(http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad335/photoatcc/LadyFreedomReturns.jpg)
I wonder what turned her into a pig, messing up carpeting like that.
These people can't come up with $100 and they call us stupid. :mental:
I don't want you getting any ideas about drifting back into my town again.

Anybody else see the mismatch with a moniker of "ladyfreedom" and taking money from others to live without working and bitching about keeping said dwelling in reasonable shape.She wants the freedom to live comfortably on some else's dime.

49. And there is always wishadoo!
Seriously? Scrub with soap and water, and if that doesn't work, buy a bottle of resolve and work at the stain. It is slobs like this that result in high deposits for the rest of us.
You certainly predicted this nicelyixnay on the olemay :whistling:

9. They want us to remove all that.
They want to get a good look.
They are doing this in all the apartments. Many of our neighbors are worried. Some over their bathrooms, others over their stoves. But most over the carpets.

54. My first thought. Or ask Peggy. I sent money to her one time to help out a DUer. I can't volunteer
her help, but if you have a DUer in the area they can take our help. Or a thread in ATA?
I know you don't want to have to ask for all of this, but that is how I helped out before. I don't want you to lose your place.
I had a bad spill where I live, it was a smoothie with berries and greens in it and wow, was that bad. No only the sugar and color but it was thick with yogurt.
I have light tan carpet and just went crazy with towels, dish soap and water as soon as it happened. Since yours has had a while, get down on it and scrub hard. Don't forget the rest of the things suggested here.
Fortunately my landlord only inspects a few times a year and finds nothing wrong with me, and has even offered to shampoo the place for free just because I've been here for 6 years. I keep putting it off because we haven't had a day I can open the windows up to let it dry properly.
Good luck and hope the ideas work!

57. Wishadoo?
What can they do for her?
She is becoming a good friend of mine since I came to DU. I can't do much but I want to get her as much help as possible. She has had it rough and deserves to have and keep what little hope she has. Can these guys help?

59. OneGrassRoot runs wishadoo and they make cash or other donations to DUers in need.
Wishadoo is a website here:

Run by DUer OneGrassRoot:

There is Paypal or something at her site, she's been here at DU for years and has Skinner's permission to do this here to help people out. Why not message her to find out how to do it.

I have always had carpet cleaner as a must have cleaner, as well as bleach. Sometimes, Jingles upchucks, anfd i clean it right then and there.
At first I wasn't sure who or what Jingles was. I think I've got it now. :-) :tongue:Jingles is my cat !!sorry!!
Good. You should all be worried. Hopefully they'll fine you and you'll learn to respect property.
Who's paying for her internet?
Cindie
How difficult is it for this person to ask her friends if any of them have a carpet cleaner she could borrow ? The odds are there is at least one person who does..This.

But you have internet? :???:
How DARE you question this person who is a member of the bastion of liberty that is DU!! It is not up to you to decide how she spends her entitlements!! /Sarc
Sadly, that is how they would respond. Hi5 for pointing out their obvious lack of priorities.
Do they take food stamps for the Internet now?
In Massachusetts yes you can use your EBT card for internet and carpet cleaners, there are almost no restrictions.

She could sell her computer. It would be a win/win.
I am so sick of these bloodsuckers. They aren't poor no matter what. They have food, shelter, and internet paid for by the US taxpayers. They aren't poor. No one pays for anything for me and Hell, I am poor because I have no one to fall back on because "I make too much money" according to the gov't. Dumbasses poor my ass. :rant:

Only if it has a 'cash' benefit on it. Those who have those with only 'SNAP' can use that only for food. If you see someone using it for that, then they get welfare and not just food stamps. Just fyi.
I would like to mention that I saw Rug Doctor carpet cleaners available for $25 a day at my local grocery store yesterday. Find a few neighbors to split the cost with and it would only cost a few dollars per person.
I got my full deposit back from my last landlord. My current landlord requires that I show him a receipt from a cleaning company and proof that I used a carpet cleaner when I move out, or he will deduct the price of both from my deposit. Mind you, I left my last apartment cleaner than the so-called cleaning company left my current place before I moved it, but oh well.

Pour Quikrete in the toilet tanks. :p
Not when it is common practice to sell your snap only card and then have it replaced within the week. >20,000 a month are replaced while the old card is not cancelled.
I wasn't talking about fraud obviously. I was talking about how the card works in general when an individual is receiving those benefits legitimately.
