Moving into a new apartment is stressful enough without having to fight for repairs that were supposed to be finished before you moved in.
One woman has been dealing with that ever since she and her boyfriend moved into an apartment that their leasing manager promised would be fully renovated.
After a month of broken promises and unfinished repairs, she finally contacted corporate, and they sent someone to inspect the apartment within two hours.
But then some of her friends, who also live in the building, told her the leasing manager had pointed at her door and said she was trying to sabotage him.
So, when she confronted him about the comment, she mentioned their names. He denied saying anything, but now her friends are upset that she dragged them into the situation.
Read on to see exactly what happened.
AITAH for telling my friends/neighbors that our leasing manager lied about what he said?
My boyfriend (28) and I (27) moved into our apartment about a month ago, and it has been an incredibly stressful experience.
Before we signed the lease, our leasing manager promised us that all renovations would be completed before move-in. They were not.
We moved in to warped floors, a crooked bathroom countertop, a rotting patio fence, mismatched cabinet handles, and a long list of other issues.
The whole thing has been very stressful for her.
For the past month, we have been sending formal written repair requests, following up weekly, and getting nothing but empty promises and zero action.
At one point, our leasing manager promised in writing that our floors would be replaced by May 31. He later retracted that promise and offered us a $50 gift card to buy a rug to cover the warped floors instead.
It has been so stressful that my hair has been falling out, and I have been having panic attacks.
Then, she ran into a few friends.
After a month of getting nowhere, I escalated the situation to corporate management.
They took it seriously and sent someone to inspect our unit within two hours of receiving my email. Our leasing manager was visibly caught off guard and admitted it was the first time in his career that corporate had ever taken a case from him.
A couple of weeks ago, some of my friends, who also happen to be my neighbors and coworkers, came to me and told me that our leasing manager had approached them in passing, pointed at my door, and said, “She is trying to **** me.”
They told me this themselves.
Now, her friends are upset with her.
I recently had an in-person meeting with our leasing manager to address everything, including the unfinished repairs and broken promises. During the meeting, I brought up what he said, and I did mention their names.
He completely denied ever saying it and said they were crazy for saying that he would ever say that. I have the whole conversation recorded.
Afterwards, I told my friends that I had confronted him and that he denied saying it. Now they are upset with me because they feel like I put them in a bad position with him since they still have to live here, see him regularly, and work with me.
AITA?
Oh no! Situations like this are the worst.
Let’s take a look at what the people over at Reddit think about all this drama.
This person has conflicting views.
For this reader, the landlord was petty.
It does seem like they got on it rather quickly.

Basically, that’s what it all boils down to.
Her friends have a point here.
She had every right to confront the leasing manager. However, she didn’t have to tell him who told her about the comment.
Now her friends have to deal with him knowing they repeated what he said, and that’s not really fair to them.
She should apologize for putting them in that position and take any further issues directly to corporate. There’s no reason to drag anyone else into this mess.
