    Ya I don’t know about other people’s maintenance teams but I avoid calling mine whenever possible. They always get mud and dirt on the carpet after they enter, but more importantly I don’t like people I don’t know entering my apartment while I’m not there.

      Yeah, my brother was having some work done in his apartment, and had an envelope of cash (8000 dollars, was saving up to buy a car in cash) in a drawer. Turns out one of the workers went through all his stuff, and took all the money. He’s been fighting this for months, and has gotten 6000 back, but the guy says that’s all he took. He’s now going the route of legal action against the company that hired the guy. Will likely get the rest paid out by the company’s insurance, but still. When I was renting I wouldn’t get work done unless it was at a time I knew someone would be home.
