Your landlady is responsible for your fridge? That’s unusual. Or at least, it is in my experience in these down-under parts of the world. ---

Oh, the joy. I was awakened by the upstairs neighbours clomping up and down the stairs at six am. I counted. They were up and down 13 times. On the first day I haven’t had to get up to work or send my son to school. JOY. I figured I’d take the time to do laundry and grocery shop - BUT I HAVE NO FRIDGE. ---

On the plus side, maybe your upstairs neighbour was up and down so many times because they’re taking a flyer on the rent owed and moving out. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > I HAVE A FRIDGE! About $%&#ing time. Sheesh. But this business with the stuff coming through your ceiling from the upstairs apartment - in your position, I’d send her the certified letter per [this page](http://www.mdlab.org/escrow.html) detailing the situation, so you can stop paying rent if you’re still there in 30 days. But I agree that the best solution is to get the hell out of there, as soon as you and Dave can manage it. ---
