I rent an apartment and 2 days ago, my bathroom ceiling was leaking a lot of water through the fan vent. It turns out that the person upstair's dishwasher broke and leaked all the water in. I showed my landlord and she treated it as if it was nothing and told me just to wait until the leak stopped. Afterwards, I went and asked her to make a note of it in my lease agreement or damage report and she started to get confrontational and used abusive language and told me me request was stupid, and that she didn't have to do anything, and flat out refused. And when I kept persisting, she eventually ripped out my damage report and really angrily wrote some chicken scratch on there that was barely legible. Mind you I was very polite and composed the entire time. I know in the grand scheme of things, this really isn't a big deal, but I'm still kinda peeved and am thinking about making a complaint to the property ownership company so she knows I can't be pushed around from now on. But, at the same time I'm kind of hesitant and don't want her to start getting a grudge against me and start messing with me somehow. I feel like my request was pretty damn reasonable, but I dunno.... what is CP's opinion?
