^^^I was half expecting a troll response when I saw your name had replied...lol... But thanks a bunch for the super useful info. I'm glad you mentioned one other thing that I hadn't put online here: the unit was indeed missing screens too. I submitted work orders and some have been installed, but we're still waiting on screens for my kids room, which is upstairs. That shit is mortifying to me. And though I've never felt the need to test smoke detectors in any place I've lived previously, but seeing as how my roach foggers didn't set them off, I probably should do that ASAP.

I have indeed started to correspond via email to track every conversation, particularly the opportunities given to resolve things. I think I'll start my own issues tracking log too, as has been suggested.

I do want to contact some sanctioning body who has authority on these matters. Not sure if that means lawyer up or call some tenants association or something though.
