i live in a regular 50-tenant apartment buildingit is not a co-op - tenants do not buy their apartments nor do we have a share in the building ownership - yet last year the landlord repaired our elevator and put in new mailboxes and made the tenants pay for all of this - he then fixed the roof and again sent us a paper from the housing department that we again are going to foot the bill for this - i have lived in apt buildings a long time and never had to pay for these major repairs - is this legal? can we, the tenants, fight this? do we have a chance of winning? i have never heard anyone else from other buildings say anything like this that they had to pay for building repairs - i don't believe this is legal but do not know how to go about finding the best lawyer in this type of complaint to help us fight itany suggestions about where to begin? thank you.
Sodium Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid Sodium chloride + water + carbon dioxide Remember all CARBONATES react with all ACIDS to release the corresponding salt plus water plus carbon dioxide The general equation is Carbonate + Acid Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide Na2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) The bubbling (effervescence) is the release of carbon dioxideTo test for carbon dioxidePass (bubble) the gas through limewater, which will turn 'milky'This is the classic test for carbon dioxide (CO2)For copper sulphate and sodium carbonate The reaction scheme is belowNotice it releases carbon dioxide (CO2) - the effervescenceAs previously CO2 is bubbled through limewater which turn from clear (Transparent) to 'milky' white 2 CuSO4 + 2 Na2CO3 + H2O → Cu2(OH)2CO3 + 2 Na2SO4 + CO2
Call the housing authority and the DA This guy is out of controlThe ONLY repairs apartment dwellers ever pay for is those they caused If you broke a window, ruined the carpet, then you payUpgrades and building maintenance are NOT your billsThis is illegal and your city should take action against him After you contact the DA do not be surprised if you hear from a few attorneys willing to help you and your fellow tenants with a class action law suit.
