Our landlady's problems paying vital utility bills has convinced us that we need to move out of our apartment as soon as possible. Our building received a water shut-off notice for the second time in 7 months last week. Fortunately our landlady was able to rent 3 vacant apartments in one day, and she was able to work out some temporary payment plans with the local Public Service company.
During our 9 years here we've always paid our rent on time, but if our water gets shut off because our landlady doesn't pay the bill, the city will label the building "UNINHABITABLE" and will only give the tenants 24 hours to move out.
