was woken one night to smashing glass. must have been after 10 pm as that's when i finished work. anyway it was quite windy and i found my wheelie bin (which had just been emptied that day) had flown into the window on my front door and smashed it. being late on a friday night, all i could do was clean up the mess and didn't call the real estate PM till the following monday. my PM wasn't in but the lady who answered the phone took a message. that was weeks ago and i haven't heard anything back.
as far as i can tell from reading similar threads on here i'm not responsible for the window. i didn't break it. this isn't a party house and there's nowhere in my small courtyard i could have put the bins that isn't in front of one window or another. nor was it that windy when i got home or before i went to sleep for me to consider trying to secure the bins. then again we've had worse winds here (been in this flat for 8 years) and never had the bin(s) go flying. i figure it was just bad luck and timing with the bins having been emptied that day. as an aside - they never fixed the portion of the fence that blew down on a separate occasion out the back either. nobody in these block of units uses the back area but i thought they still should have fixed the fence.
i have an inspection coming up in a few days so thought that would be the best opportunity to talk to the PM about it. any advice from you guys?
