went through the same shit...

Hey! I know exactly what you are going through because I was at that state last month. Keep pesturing them! That was my strategy. I kept going at it and finaly was ablt to get 2/3 of my money back. I of course did in fact expect university housing to be bad....but this was beyond my nightmares. I was sent to live in a horrible place, I wouldn't even send a dog to live there. I am still amazed that they actually send humans to live in these places. I am wondering if they feel any kind of shame at all. They also were surprised with me not liking the place and also told me that "but it's one of the best ones we'got..." !!!!!!!!
My place, which was 550 a month, had cracked doors so that all people could see right through, the floors were broken in many places....yet covered with the most horrendous carpet, mice crap all around, and just one small window at the very top of the wall.....just like the Monte Christo prison....!!!!!!!
Get it? This was 550. Cant' say much about the water or the heat because as soon as I opened the door and took a look, I locked it and never went back. I stayed at a B&B and from where my battle began to get my money back from those housing agents. I complained and complained and complained. I went to several different offices. Do the same. Make them sick of you. Go everyday if you must. At the end you will succeed. I even told them in their face that this whole thing is plain robbery! As for a lawyer, try on your own initially. Group all 6 students together and take turns bugging them about this matter. If this doesn't work then it is possible that all 6 could in fact share a lawyer. What can I say, absolutely GOOD LUCK!!!!Anonymous 06 okt 2005, 06:51 - Rapporteer misbruik
