I have been renting this flat since 3years. During the état des lieux, the régie told us that everything was renovated 2 years ago. I was surprised considering the state of the appliances and the overall old looking vibe of the flat. Quickly after settling in, I noticed many flaws: some sockets were not working, freezer seal patched with patafix (blue tack). After reporting it, half of it was quickly replaced or repaired. A year later, the landlord sent a letter to let me know that he stopped working with the régie and handle everything by himself. During this time, the « recently renovated » flat was showing more and more flaws: peeling paint, the seal of the oven that was already hanging at move-in broke down, kitchen faucet broke down, kitchen wood rotting after a leak from his dishwasher, shutters that don’t close anymore, etc. I reported them by email over and over since last year. Dude always answers “yes yes I’ll fix it”, but never does. The thing is that I’m reluctant to send a mise en demeure in case he uses it as an excuse to kick me out for “renovations” and re-rent the same dump for more. But I also know silence means he can blame the damage on me when I leave (I have swisscaution). Anyone been through this? I’m just so mad to rent this dump and been applying to other flats since LAST YEAR without success. I feel completely blocked. submitted by /u/West_Diver1074
