We spent months planning our family holiday, and our own youngest was turning forty, and the entire family was going to be there to celebrate… We rented a big AirBNB house that slept sixteen, and it was on a lake that was definitely said to be excellent for fishing, but my daughter and her family were the first to get there! I got a frantic call from her, letting me know the lake had been drained for repairs.
There was nothing but mud and a few puddles.
I told her there were rivers where the boys could fish, she told me that wasn’t the worst. The central heating and A/C system wasn’t laboring. It was definitely overheated when they arrived, but it was close to chilly at night. She said my best buddy and I could get away without heating and A/C during the afternoon, but the night was going to be a problem. I had the iphone number for the rental corporation and provided it to her. I also told her to call the rental corporation and tell them about the heating and A/C system and that the lake wasn’t a lake right now. I was going to be there in about an hour, and our child would arrive around midnight, he had to labor that afternoon. When I finally got there, an actual heating and A/C worker was at the house, although she said I had to talk to the rental corporation; by the time I got off the iphone, I was angry. They told me I had to pay for the heating and A/C worker, and I said no. I’d send them the bill. I also asked why I hadn’t been told about the lake. The person told me it wasn’t his fault. I contacted my lawyer. He actually refunded half of the rental fee.
