There's nothing like a nighmare to cause anxierty and stress over the new apartment.

So my nightmare begins when I move-in. I see there is a lot of leftover furniture and stuff all over the apartment. Like someone was already living there. I look into the bathroom. The huge oversize tube is really dirty. The entire apartment looks really dirty. And then this lady walks in the door apologing to me because she still lives there. Then we go see the apartment manager. They tell me I owe $1000 for move-in plus the full-amount for the monthly rent. At this point my blood is boiling and after hearing that I go off on everyone there. I am generous and offer the lady 1 week to move and put contingencies on the lease. She's like.. well I need 3 and the manager agrees with her. I'm like, I'm not paying any $$ until this lady is moved and my apartment is CLEANED!

So now I have fears about the new place:

• Missing appliances


• Unclean apartment, especially the bathroom


• Carpet is not cleaned or replaced


• Spots on the carpet

That is why I always see the apartment before signing the lease and will act appropiately. If I see any bullshit, they are going to have to take care of it BEFORE I sign the lease. I then feared all about my mail. But my next logical course of action is to get a P.O. box and temporary housing. Lovely. I just hope there aren't any "major" problems.

When I moved into my current apartment I inspected the apartment BEFORE I signed the lease. I found the washer and drier to be missing. I was pissed. I had the lady initial and add an addenhem saying that washer and drier is included with the lease. They had to order brand new ones and it took them a week to get it in my apartment.
