One apartment I had in college had terrible ceilings and floors... I didn't know it before I moved in because I was a subletter, but there were cracks everywhere. Right above my computer desk was the apartment above me's bathroom (and ultimately, the bathtub). The ceiling/floor was SO bad, that water leaked through the ceiling and entirely ruined my laptop and all my school books. Handling all of the water damage repairs was such a frustrating process. I wish I would have checked into that before I moved in.... would have saved me time and money. Apartment Hunting: Things That Scream Walk Away |
