Part of our rented kitchen lost its power, but did not trip breaker. We got up in the middle of the night and turned on the hall light. No light. We went to the kitchen and the fridge and microwave were off, but everything was fine in the rest of the apartment. The breaker was not tripped. The breaker for hall way also said bathrooms. The bathroom was on and the fridge and micro are suppose to be on another breaker. What is going on in the newly constructed building? It has 48 units. I am getting nervous. Please help.

I don't blame you, I would be scared too. Apartment fires are all too common these days, and are often due to faulty wiring especially in a new construction.
It does sound as though the wiring is faulty in your unit, if not the entire building. Contact building management-be sure to document the time, date, to whom you spoke, and what that person said.
More importantly, if management isn't on it within 24 hours LEAVE the complex, again documenting everything. You could be in danger of fire.
With documentation you may be able to recoup costs associated with having to leave.
