      Start talking to them about it. Do it repeatedly. If there’s any change, like a change in management company, step it up. In this case, that’s what did it:

      Then in December 2021, the facility’s owners changed management companies, appointing a new executive director.

      This was an opening, Ms. Auslander thought. She wasted no time in pleading her cause, said Chris Barstein, the executive director. “Susan called me about the project for solar panels before I even walked in the door,” Mr. Barstein said. “I was completely taken off-guard, but it was a good harbinger of what was to come.” Unlike the previous executive director, he said, “I was pretty enthusiastic about it.”

        I have an independent landlord (aka slumlord) in the US. It’ll never happen. I do know how to get him to fix things, though. Words like “escrow” and “attorney” really improves their hearing and motivation.
