So last night as I was preparing dinner in my lovely new apartment and suddenly the pipes under the sink collapse and i have a flooded kitchen...
Renting here is not like renting in the UK.. For the first time I am renting through an agency following my previous bad experience with a landlord that wanted to take my money but not look after the house...prime example being the kitchen cupboards falling off the wall, nearly killing me, smashing all my stuff, then having to live 6 months without any kitchen cupboards and not receiving a penny to cover my loss.. the list goes on...
Well...it seems that an Agency here is not exactly how I imagined. I should have known... I get to pay a huge fee for mmmm..nothing! I found the add for the apartment in the newspaper so all they actually did was show me round the apartment. I now have no further dealings with them.. the rent isn't paid via the agency, I cant call them when something breaks...back to dealing with the Italian landlord again, except this time I get to bankrupt myself in the process!
It seems the previous tenants taped the sink pipes together with scotch tape - thanks - and i now have to deal with it. The landlord will pay for the plumber but at 6pm on a Saturday in Italy I'm going to have to wait until Monday to see any sign of a plumber.... Shall I book that one way fight home now?!
