i can't take it anymore 

OMG I RELATE TO THIS SO HARD!!! I cannot count how many times I've literally point blank known EXACTLY what an issue is, and then immediately been gaslit into thinking I'm crazy, then so much time and money later, turns out I'm right! The life of women I freakin swear!!!

I feel this so much. I bought a very expensive brand new condo almost two years ago. There are SO many problems. They haven’t even completed the punch list. They have had work people here over 50 times and haven’t even started most of the work! I can’t explain how many times I’ve cried over this. I feel you!

Madi you don't have to apologize for the meltdown, it's not your fault your landlord is a jerk and for whatever reason doesn't hear what you're saying. For now just try and survive and if a listing for an apartment you can afford comes up, take it. Until then stay safe and see you next video

It's not dramatic, it's very valid. I would 100% feel the same way especially frustrating that they don't listen to you. Remind yourself it's not your problem. You move (albeit a huge inconvenience and expense) but they still have the problem. If they want to pay for hours of labor to keep fixing it incorrectly, that's their problem.

Your patience over this has been absolutely amazing. I 100% understand why you hit your breaking point, you shouldn’t have to go through this, it’s a easy fix. I’m so sorry Madison.

Honey your frustration is valid. 😢 I’m sorry you’re dealing with such a nightmare

You have every right to feel frustrated I know how annoying it can be when you were telling some thing to someone and they are not listening. I’ve had the same experience with my old apartment, I knew the person above me was abusing their dog and I literally sent the property manager multiple videos, called the police and nobody wanted to believe me and nothing came of it and so I had to literally move because I couldn’t be under somebody that was abusing their dog and nobody wanted to do anything because they wouldn’t let me out of my lease so it’s very understandable what you’re going through and just know that you have every right to feel that way

omg that apartment is so so so cute!!!love it!!! so spacious, love the industrial , rustic.....

I always enjoy watching your videos Madi and that’s bad that they don’t want to listen to you about it and i seen your tiktok about apartment hunting yesterday also hopefully things will get better

Madi you don’t need to apologize about your meltdown I was in that place before and it sucked so bad. I had water damage like you did but I also got sick so be careful if you stay

You can file a law suit in small claims court. You can just represent yourself and that in itself might get them to actually fix the problem

Here for you Madi! With all the support you need❤️✨

You need to take them to small claims court. You usually don't need an attorney. At a minimum you could get them to get you out of your lease without cost to you. Just make sure you keep all records, and contact made with the leasing office. If there is water leaking into your unit, there could be mold, which is a health risk. If they're not fixing the problem of leaking water, and it still leaks, eventually it will get mold. I would try for moving costs too. If they're refusing to fix the problem, chances are, they won't be a great landlord.

No you have absolutely nothing to apologize for honey!!! That’s very frustrating and annoying to have to deal with! Water coming into your place that can ruin your own furniture and belongings! They need to understand and pay for you having to break your lease! Best thing you can do is move if there isn’t anything they are gonna do about the water coming in! Prayers for you honey you got this ❤️

hey girly, i know this is super frustrating because i’ve been through this so many times with my own landlords and complex. my dad finally came down to help me and it was the weather stripping along the doors that was making the gap and letting water and bugs through. maybe you could ask for the weather stripping to be replaced asap. i’m sorry!!

that was a nice place hope everything works out

I wonder if some thick, foam weatherstripping would help on the door? You can get it at Home Depot or Amazon!

Can I just tell you Madi that I’ve been so stressed out financially over the last few days, and every time I watch your videos, I instantly relax and take a breather 🥹 you have no idea how much your channel just helps me get out of my depressive state. Honestly you’re without a doubt my favorite RU-vidr!

Girl I feel the frustration! My apartment this year alone has had the ac go out during summer and my apartment got over 90° and everytime it took them a week to come fix! Couldn’t sleep couldn’t breathe had constant panic attacks! It was awful! Also have black mold and they tell me it’s just dust and to vacuum it up!

I am always here for you queen

Such an easy fix - can’t believe the repairs are not correct! But I hope you can get a better perspective and not stress! Some day you’ll see how small the problem is! Till then take some deep breathes and find your balances! And Joy!

Put weather stripping where the gap in the door is. One of my college apartments had this exact same problem. We could see through the door jam to the outside, once we put weather stripping where the gap was the problem was fixed.

Whoa, u were right with that test!!! Oh my gosh!! U need to show them that video! And the fact that u held it all in, your crying is way over due girl!! I have been watching your whole experience and for me, that totally sucks!

Keep all the records of your maintenance requests. At my last apartment around 4 months after I moved in water started leaking from the ceiling from the bathroom in the apartment above me and I contacted them that day and they said they would have to get a third party contractor to fix it. I submitted another 4 requests that kept getting closed without the issue actually getting fixed. The ceiling was still leaking when I moved out 7 months later and there was black mold all around it. It turned from a 4 inch crack with water leaking to a 12 inch circle of water stain and black mold. When I went to move out I told them and showed them all the requests for maintenance and got my entire security deposit back. You can check in the lease to see what it says about how they have to handle/fix problems to make sure you dont have to pay for anything or contest it if they try to charge you. It sucks and I am so sorry you are going through that, apartments are terrible!!

To your AMAZON answer about why the item is in a big box. Well the computer already setup where it tells us which box to put it in and so we cannot downsize the box. We can only upsize the box. Plus most of the items need a special label on the packaging even though the item you order isn’t big

100% agree with you regarding older buildings. They are simply far more structurally sound than the ones built in more modern times. As far as the door gap goes, maybe attach something that is squishy enough to make a seal but also fastenable to the face of the flange (the part where you shouldn't be able to see light coming through) facing your door? I'm thinking maybe something as simple as a velcro stuck to the face and then attached to something rubber, maybe even a large pencil eraser? Or maybe just wood putty thick enough to block the gap? I've lived in a lot of old apartments and houses and when things settle over the decades, angles sometimes fail to retain their squareness and simple remedies come in handy, at least long enough to move out.

Sorry girl! So frustrating for you to deal with that door over and over😢

Do you have a tenant board/tribunal you can talk to? They deal with the legalities of these things. I would think that if the condition is unlivable (water = damage) you are able to terminate your lease without paying a fee.

First of all… I think it’s time to speak to an landlord tenant lawyer {Keep everything documented} because by law they are required to do proper repair work. If you must pay for a consultation fee. A lawyer will speak to you about your rights as a tenant and you should be able to have a reduction of your rent. Wishing you peace and happier days love! Just watched the part about your friend.

Hugs 🤗 first of all. Please no you are not being overly dramatic. You are making sense. Those people are not. It’s nuts, the problem is nuts. Grrr!! Why can they not get it? Craziness. I feel bad for Marlee too. Stress can make a cat sick. You are doing good. You are a good fur mama to her. I meant to comment on the video where you had to wash off her bootay but I understand that because I have two long hair cats. Anyway I always love seeing her and hearing about her. She always makes me laugh too. Hang in there and keep us updated. We care.

I love you so much Madi

Love Marley!!!!❤❤❤

would a new weather strip work? I know its not supposed to be on you but they sell self adhesive ones that you could probably put in that gap the door might be hard to close at the beginning but once it molds to it you should be good and it could possibly fix your issue!! Best of luck!

Maybe go to home depot or lowes to get some foam spray to seal up the cracks of the door. It might work temporarily until you can find a new place

I got an ad for apartment shopping while watching this video 😂

I got the same cat bowl that Marley has but I got it to put my every day jewelry in it 😅😂

Madi do not apologize for your meltdown! Its very frustrating what you are going through. I would be beyond upset and mad if that was happening to me. Especially since you just moved and now you might have to move again. I would definitely keep fighting them to fix it and would file a complaint on them with dallas city hall. So sorry you are going through that. It definitely sucks. Hopefully you can find another apartment or get them to fix it. Keep your head up!!

My house kept flooding around the time your apartment did and we had to move to a new place because of mold and it looks like the door way needs to be redone because there is mold. You should be able to get your security deposit back and terminate your lease if they can open up the wall and see it.

You need to show them what you just did how the water comes through!! I had an issue where water was coming in too through the floor because my apartment was in the basement and it happened 3 times before I finally said it’s enough and I got loved to a different apartment in a different building that they have this one is on the 3rd floor! Try telling them you need to switch apartments in the building before totally moving out!

Content is fire

have you tried getting weather stripping to stick in the hole? my front door had a giant gap at my apartment and that has been a good temporary fix

Madi, I feel for you. I’m just praying to God that this whole awful ordeal of yours just gets fixed sometime, somehow! ✝️🙏❤️

Hope you're doing okay

Madison! Don’t think you’re being dramatic!!! You deserve to feel like this because they aren’t listening!!! Do what you think is right! Pray about it and you’ll get your answer! I hope you’re having a better day!!

What apartment locators have you used?

YOU ARE VALID. They should be listening to you. Before paying for getting out of your lease, reach out to a lawyer or someone (re-read your lease agreement) and keep this evidence that they are NOT listening to you to fix the problem. Maybe they would HAVE to let you out of the lease.

Madi, I showed my husband your door situation. While he was appalled by the amount of caulk they used, he said to close the gap you need weather stripping, which you can find at Lowes or Home Depot. I'm going to do my best to descibe this next part. If you go to the 9:09 mark on your video and look at the door jam, apply the weather stripping (it has an adhesive back) to the part of the door jam that is sticking out. The part that when you close the door, it stops the door from just swinging through to the outside. That's the part/area where you want to apply the weather stripping. Does that make sense? I hope so. Now I don't know if the apartment management would have a problem with you doing this. They shouldn't but if they do, you could ask them to do it. Weather stripping will seal that gap and likely solve the water issue.

Madi, this is what I would I do, (if they won’t let u out of your lease) I would wait until my lease is up and move then, what is it, a year or less? And In the meantime, get that foam I mentioned before. Its ugly, but it should keep the water out and u could remove it when u move out. U won’t be able to open the door, but u could put something pretty to cover it. I don’t know for me, if I had to forfeit over $3000 and more, that could be your savings. I hope it all works out for u, I truly do!! ❤❤

I would contact a tenant legal aid society or an attorney. I bet you will get some action.

That video you took proving that water still gets inside I would send to your property manager and then send it to the company that owns that building. If they still don't have it fixed contact a lawyer. Im so sorry for this frustration!!!!

Don’t apologize for being upset, that’s your home and everyone wants their home to be safe. This is gonna sound bad but they’re not listening to you because you are a female, that’s just how it is. Your door looks like it need some weather stripping which is very easy to do, I’m sure your dad could do it, you can also buy under the door stoppers, you can get them off Amazon, just make sure you measure your door first. I know you shouldn’t have to be the one to fix it but sometimes you just have to do things yourself, it’s the only way to get things done. Keep your head up.

I love you sooo much bestie

I'd put some weather stripping around the door to seal it.

Take’em to court sweet pea! And sue them!

I know this sounds like a pain and silly but can you get a absorbing towel and keep it at the door? So when it rains it catches the water? We have a door in our house that leaks and so that. I know you shouldn’t have to do that. But at this point, jut do it u til your lease is up. Then don’t renew.🤷🏼‍♀️

Can I get a link for the smiley face shirt 😊

Happy Wednesday. Today is Friday. Hahah. I noticed that a lot of RU-vidrs like high waisted leggings. Why do you like them? I prefer not to wear them and the regular waisted one. Is it the style or to show less skin?

What your family think

Madi, you are very justified in being frustrated and upset about this. People tend to not listen to young single women and it’s annoying. But you are justified and right in what you are feeling and experiencing

As far as health.. if there's water coming in still there's a good chance there could be mold growing.. and that COULD affect your health.

Chaos

Looks like either the door or the frame is warped.

Keep bothering them til they fix it right. That’s what I do. Last apartment we lived in got SO complacent with repairs and neighbors not following the trash concierge policy. Management sucks.

You don't have to apologize for your meltdown and it's not your fault that they won't listen to you!

That definitely should not be happening. I would be extremely mad over it. I know when the lease was up I would move until then I would keep on them and keep on them. Get a lawyer if need be.

You have no idea. In DC, I pay $350 for parking. 🤣

Do you still own any of Alabama clothing to wear with your outfits and you should have some of your pictures in picture frames around your apartment and if you decide to move out of your apartment also.

You have no reason for apologizing you are completely valid with your feelings. This is ridiculous that they are not doing anything or listening to you.

you should show them the test you did..

Madi show them what you talking about

You need to call few contractors and get their expert opinions and provide to manager there

Maddie don’t say your sorry. You have the right to be upset

❤️❤️❤️

Hey Love you 😘

Take a pic of the water and show them have a meeting with them

I love it!!! Get it! Move out of that college replica apartment you have now and into it!!!!

Sometimes if you find someone else to take over your lease you can break it without a penalty. My dad found someone to take over his lease without a penalty. I wish you the best. Don't stress over it. Talk to the property management to see what they would say. Too bad we didn't live in the same city and friends. I'm confident my dad could convince them to have someone take over without being hit with a penalty. He's very persuasive.

Madi You have every right to be upset you told them multiple times that the water is coming in the door through the crack when it rains and they still haven't fixed it it shouldn't be your responsibility it's your landlords. They should have fixed long before you moved into the apartment they should have got every door looked over before they had any attendant moved in Keep your head up just like everyone else said in the comments just try to survive out there it's hard 😀

hahah the parking thing is so funny i pay 370 a month for parking in NYC and thats the cheapest we could find!

Just buy weather strips at Home Depot.. lol

if i was u...id take silicone in a tube and silicone the door shut so it cant leak..yeah cant open it ..but did u really use it? then when u move when ur lease is up...just take the silicone out with a screw driver lol

You can have a free initial conversation with a lawyer! Find one that specializes in landlord tenant relations

why do youtubers always refer to the person that "influenced" them to do something off youtube or tiktok by name, like we are suppose to know or care who that is 🙄

MADI!!!!! You have rights. Look up renters rights in your state. There are reasons you can break your lease legally with out paying. Believe.

Lease break! Gather all your evidence and if you need to hire an attorney, do so.

Frustrations build to burden status as no one listens ... tears are cathartic ... cries to the Spirit ... release of the buildup and feel better ... the mind clears ... GOD is always there. Door sweep / bottom weather stripping ??? where light comes through. From video it looks like a rectangular water pooling area is created by door, bricks, and each side of door frame.... don't see where water can channel out ... caulk job ??? Pouring water is fine it just simulates accumulated rainfall if water is not channeled out of pooling area. I would put towels inside & go outside, close door, & pour water in pooling area on the door hinge side to see if water goes anywhere other than sweep / stripping opening. If those brick groves are supposed to be the flow channels look how high they sit ... that is the level the water must reach before it starts to drain away from door. The water all goes through failed door seal. There should not be a pooling area or a failed seal. That's what it looks like from video to me. I get the move thing but seems tough to reward them with 3k for being incompetent and there are quick fixes - weather stripping, caulk to the area or expandable foam to fill pooling area if it exists, or any combination, to stop the leak. Then again maybe it is fixed after 8 in house and 1 outsource but it looks doubtful. PEAK clown world stuff. You know that you are doing all the right things.

I would give you a shoulder to cry on

i don’t think you’re being dramatic is the SLIGHTEST. i just moved out of a rental that had problem after problem and no one would fix it.

Okay I’m perplexed over your balcony because when you opened the door you could tell that you have no balcony because of the fence but like how did you even stand there during the water test if there doesn’t seem to have any room… lol? Weird thing to be questioning but I am so confused!

I paid 125 for parking for a month… 40 for trash&pest :(

Girl you don’t need to apologize it’s your apartment fault. You get some flexseal but the heavy duty one. Or just move

It's okay to be frustrated BUT if you want to get something properly fixed, talk to the person whom is fixing it.

Honestly, go grab a tarp, cut it to size, and protect that area and then when they complain about an ugly tarp out there, you can show them how it wasn't actually fixed. Or same thing with a sandbag. You're right, the issue is the angle of that design, it's poorly designed. You should never have that brick threshold above the doorstep. Just cheap and crappy building.

Sue and move.

Please have a lawyer looks at your lease and write a letter to your apartment. That is the only way to be taken seriously. Water leaking can lead to damage of property, mold causing health issues, rodents, bugs, loss of wages. You have a case, you just need a lawyer to write it and send it in order to be taken seriously.

they are ridiculous you need to find another apartment. that is extremely frustrated and they need to refund you !!!! they did a bad job....

Talk to a real estate BROKER about renters rights and who to report them to. You can get out of your lease without penalty.

Madi you’re a human being it’s okay to be upset and I’m sorry your landlord is a jerk :/

I have a friend get out of her lease. Her landlord walked in unannounced, and she was nude. She got out of her lease the next day.

Not only the water coming in but your air conditioning is going out since there is that hole there, that’s so insane. My goodness. 😢
