"Last time we had one of these, the tenant came home to a living room swamped with water, it was runnin' down the stairs and flooded out the garage."
Ok, so I guess I dodged a bullet.
Last Friday, I noticed a dark spot forming in the center of my living room cieling. I called in the manager, he took a look at it, and said he'd be by first thing Monday morning to investigate further.
Diagnosing the problem as coming from the tub, they started to cut a whole through the wall from the spare bedroom to the tub. I suggested, just possibly, it might be wiser to attack the source from it's most obvious location, like maybe through the ceiling?, just above the wet spot? (But, hey, what do I know?)
"Nah, it's probably coming from the back of the tub. We'll get to right here." (after emptying and moving the dresser first).
Nope. Guess again.
Next option, the ceiling. ( I told ya so... but what do I know?)
Hey,ah... while you're at, can you install a surround-sound system up there. I mean, since you already got some holes cut and all-
"NO!"
OK, how 'bout a central vacuum?
"NO!"
Skylight?
"NO!"
Laundry chute?
"NO!"
Ok, how bout ordering me some new carpet then? I want that blue stuff you put in next door.
"You dont need it now. But if you'd waited a another week you'd be getting new furniture to match."
I can't win.

So did they fix the leak?
of course.
they coming back this morning to patch up the holes.
You should have made the hole bigger then attached a slide. It could be used as a laundry chute and as a quick Super Hero exit when the commissioner calls.
I like the way that Jade thinks. :o)
