Booooo. My landlord wants me to take off all my plants from the balcony because apparently a crack (that was already there long before I moved in) has gotten worse. Fair enough because they want to get it fixed. But it's a lot of plants to lug down two sets of stairs, and then across and up another two to put in the common area...
I don't know how long they will take to get the balcony fixed - in the meantime, watering and maintaining these plants is going to be a pain and a half. I absolutely can't be carting water from my unit to the common area so I'll have to use the communal tap ๐คทโโ๏ธ
What I'm worried about the most is if they say I can't put any plants back on at all. I'll be absolutely fuming if that's the case. Let's hope they'll be reasonable. I know they've appreciated seeing the veggies and flowers on it and I know several of my neighbours have appreciated them too.
Trying not to spiral into negative thinking and assume they'll up the rent after this fix as well >_< mustn't jump to conclusions...
ouch.. hrmm.
