Can’t sleep. Too stressed out. Not even melatonin helped.
I have been without a working oven for a month now and I have a freezer full of food I cannot cook as a result.
My landlord said he sent a repairman twice to take a look at the oven, but I was home all day those days and nobody knocked on my door.
My stove seems to still work. The issue with the oven is it won’t heat up.
I contacted a repairman myself and was told the part needed to fix it was no longer available, as it is an old model. It’s almost 20 years old.
However, my landlord didn’t believe me and again said he’d send a repairman to fix it.Another no show.
By the way, he wants to bill me for all these times that he allegedly sent a repairman to look at my oven.
Now, I am completely broke and cannot afford to buy more groceries I can cook on my stove or even in my microwave.
I honestly don’t know what to do. I’m freaking out and losing my mind.

Also, @Sean Monahan, it sounds like you had a much better and more considerate landlord than I do.
Despite the resolution of the problem, I am going to be looking for another place to rent. This guy has caused me a lot of stress and raised my blood pressure level over just about the last 2 years since my kidneys failed. I’m trying to focus on my recovery and still work as much as I can and he’s only made things worse.
As soon as I gave him the news about my diagnosis, his response was “That’s nice. Where’s my rent money?”
I wish I was only joking.

@Citizen Erased I absolutely did. He got us a bottle of Jack Daniels and some cineplex gift cards for a Christmas present. Any issues that arose he’d have dealt with as soon as reasonably possible. He was so laid back about it all I actually thought I got ripped off after I gave him the deposit. I was nervous as hell until I got the keys. The four of us who rented that place originally are all gone but two of them stayed for 7 years and friends of theirs have it now. More landlords like that need to exist.
If I were you I’d look for something better but don’t poke the bear in the meantime.
