My current apartment has been one BIG nightmare! My husband and I are too very flexible, understanding people and maybe there really isn't a place for that when you hunt for your new space? RED FLAG # 1 When I called the first time to ask to see the place I was blown off by the 24 year old building manager because she had tickets to a concert...
When I saw the place I fell inlove with the look of it, but noticed MUCH wrong with it. Addressing these things one at a time to the building manager and her boyfriend. Each thing I said the responce was " Oh, yeah were gonna fix that before you move in." I looked at the place a month before my lease at my last apartment ran out. They said they'd have the follwing fixed in a month: New paint, ripping carpet out completely, fixing the bathroom floor, putting a dead bolt in the front door and give us keys, Fixing the back door, OH and the leak in the cieling in the living room! I was terrified this wouldnt work out but even more so that in a month if I didn't find a place we'd be sleeping on a park bench! Each week I saw more improvement, till about the last 2 weeks there was a complete STOP. My husband finished ripping out the carpet & had to use a belt sander to get all the layers of glue off the wood floors. Also the place was filthy! We got our lease to sign I think maybe a few days before we were due to move in. The " lease " was one page. Very basic lease, but nothing really stuck out to me. So we both signed it.... idiots! We called about once a week about this leak never being finished, called asking when they can come get there ladders, buckets, power tools etc. Everytime I asked about the leak they said theyre sending there maintance guy over to fix it. I to this day have never seen or met this man, but know he enters my apartment without permission or notice and hasn't fixed anything. I called my landlord who lives out of state and told him about the leak. He told me I can find somewhere else to live, told me I'm not being patient and ended it by suggesting I don't store anything important under the leak. So a month into moving in my young building managers quit, packed up and moved in the middle of the night. And then I got the remainder of my lease which states in the most basic way : If I wasnt to I can evict you for any reason & at any time.
Stuck till September. This site & all of your advise has been so helpfull for the next move. Thank you!
