Return to Chaos Manor

Last night, I embarked on a trial run of the new evening outing itinerary. Frankly, it was disappointing. I was already fatigued from moving to the Chinatown dormitory, but the crowds of insane shoppers at Ala Moana Center were beyond fatiguing. My excursion to Barnes & Noble® was not enjoyable in the slightest way. I returned to the dismal and stuffy Chinatown dormitory at 10pm. The walk from the bus stop proved interesting. There were nothing but homeless people lined up all along the sidewalk. A very sad sight.

Typical Chaotic Hottie
My first night at the dismal abode proved to be a lesson in pure frustration. The hot and stuffy room could not be ventilated with two electric fans. I could not sleep as a result. In addition, I was being bitten multiple times by an unidentifiable insect. By morning, I was so fatigued that I hastily decided that I would have to move out.

My formerly-homeless buddy knocked on my door at 7am. I told him that I was forfeiting the $850 that I paid to move into the dump and, in effect, breaking my lease. My formerly-homeless buddy attempted to dissuade me, even though he is experiencing a number of problems with the resident manager. In the end, he agreed with me. He mentioned that the resident manager is keeping a number of cats on the premises, even though there is a policy forbidding pets. He said that he and other tenants were all victims of insect bites, most likely parasites residing on the cats. He then urged me to use that reason as the means to obtain a full refund of the first month's rent and security deposit. He let me borrow his "smartphone" to use as a dramatic prop to leverage my position. "If they refuse, call the cops," he told me. He said that he would serve as a witness for my case, if necessary. My formerly-homeless buddy has also decided to purchase the Nexus 7 tablet computer. And, I will be helping him to move a few boxes to his storage unit next Saturday.

After my workout at the gym, I finalized the decision to move out of the varmint-infested dormitory. I attempted to call the landlord of Chaos Manor, but to no avail. The move to Chaos Manor went smoothly anyway. I retrieved my vehicle from Hawai'i Kai. I left a note for the other tenants on my way to town. Then, I quickly retrieved all of useless possessions, which were already packed. The "chef" just happened to arrive at Chaos Manor a few minutes ahead of me. My key was still in the landlord's box. So, I will leave a note for the landlord tomorrow to explain the situation and express my intent to rent my squalid room for a few more months.

All that's left is to inform the property management firm in writing, which I will hand deliver tomorrow, of my decision to vacate the property and the reason why. I am assuming that a request for a full refund of the $850 will be rejected. No doubt, I will have to initiate a lawsuit to recover some of that money. More crap. More stupidity.

  1. Farewell to the Chinatown dormitory! We hardly knew thee.

    It all sounds like a real pain. You have my sympathies.
