Freakin Minto .. and legal issues
30/12/2008
ok here’s the story …
My parking spot in the garage (indoors) has had a big piece of cardboard leaning against the wall for a while now (over a year) .. Minto does repair work in the garage often so I thought it was theirs, along with a bunch of concrete blocks lying around .. I never removed it because it didn’t affect my parking space ..
Last night due to strong winds the board fell on my car and the back half of the side skirt came off, the front half was still on the car .. the clips in the rear half broke .. The building manager does not know where the board came from and refused to take any action .. The rental contract does mention that Minto is not responsible for any damages in the garage .. But I am pissed because they should at least clean up the garage (concrete blocks and such) .. Had an argument with the building manager and was totally disgusted by their attitude ..
Anyways, I got the side skirt put back on, but the clips were broken at the rear, so right now its held in place with the front and middle clips .. It “should” stay on, and I hope it does or else a new one is gonna cost me $350 ..
Wish I could take legal action, but I guess that legal paper I signed will save their ass .. I realize that damage in the garage is not their responsibility, but this was a cause of their neglect and they can get away with it. Zero accountability .. In hindsight I should have thrown that piece of cardboard out a lot earlier ..
