I am so discussed, I'm coping an email I sent to April/Kristy at the office, they are still trying to put the responsibility of paying for treatment on us, when it was the neighboring unit who caused this problem ~ EMAIL: Upon getting the news of what type of insects we noticed in our unit and many conversations with Jade, we will need an alternative solution to the Thermal Remediation, we have too many items that will be damaged due to this invasive treatment and no one is wanting to take responsibility. We've been told that the reason for the June spraying was due to a neighbor complaining of Bedbugs, this information was not disclosed to us, the month of June was a very difficult month for us, having several members of our family in the hospital ranging from emergency quadruple by-pass surgery to stage 4 lung cancer, I even mentioned this to you in one of my visits to the office which you offered to send up a prayer for the family. It is apparent that we missed the day of the June spraying due to the overwhelming exhaustion that we didn't hear anyone at the door, I assume you asked the exterminator if they were able to get to all the units that needed this treatment due to the condition on the neighboring unit, therefore, you should have sent a letter stating something like 'we where unable to access your unit, we need to re-schedule the spraying due to bedbug issues' this was not done. October 1st, I went in to let you know the bug issue we were having and stated that we were not sprayed in June so I believe the neighboring units insects were coming over to our unit, you still did not tell me what was going on only that you would set up a spraying on Tuesday, October 4th, which you didn't put on the 'books' according to Jade, she was going to set us up for an appointment to get this done until she asks questions about what type of bug were we seeing which I responded they look like ticks/fleas she asked then if I thought they were bedbugs, I didn't know, I've never seen a begbug, she said they look like thicks and asked if an inspector can come over and I say yes, when I asked why we were not told of this issue with the neighboring unit, the response was 'we didn't want the neighbors to panic, but now the policy is changed and we are letting the neighbors now that a bedbug issue was reported', THIS IS BOGUS!!!!! So now we have to go thru the embarrassment, the looks of accusations, the finger pointing. This wasn't our issue but it is now due to the neighbor(s), they should be held responsible if not Simpson Properties.
I have been emotionally stressed since the discovery, I feel violated, betrayed and I feel like the 'Office' is wanting to pass the responsibility to us and now you want us to agree to have someone going thru all our belongings to do this heat treatment, it's like agreeing to being raped, and when talking to Jade over the weekend she made a statement 'You didn't comply" this is a false statement, it's not like we refused entry to our unit, we were so exhausted it is apparent we must have slept thru someone at the door. Again, another letter should have been sent out stating they need to get into our unit, in my opinion, we are not responsible, nothing was disclosed to us.
Jade stated that the neighbor has not complained since the spraying, so this would be the way to go for us, come spray with the same stuff as before, do the same to them and lets be done with this. read more
