A woman on E. Main Street called police and said her living room window was broken the previous Friday afternoon around 4 p.m. when the wind blew the window in and broke it due to a faulty latch. She left a message with the landlord letting him know she needed to get it fixed because her apartment was not secure. The landlord told her to call the maintenance guy who texted her back later stating, "It’s Friday, I can’t do anything tonight" and he also told her later that he would be replacing all the windows in the building due to faulty latches. No one ever came to fix it and the maintenance guy later texted her and said, "Sorry for inconvenience and I'll have someone come by, but I need you to be there." She didn't understand why she needed to be there because the apartment staff has a key to give to any maintenance person who needs access. However, she had to come back from a trip to get back there but still no one has come by as of yet. She then spoke with the landlord again who told her, "If you do any more damage, I will take your deposit." He also told her she was not being cooperative and he was not going to fix it until Monday, the next day. She looked up information on the landlord later, and discovered he has a reputation as a "slum lord".
