Due to a much better offer. I have to tell them. I feel like a real bitch. How can I do it with out them hating me? They could probably have rented their apartment out within these last four weeks.
Apartment manager goes inside apartment several times when I am away. How normal is this? I've been living in my apartment complex for about 1 year now and the apartment manager seems to make an excuse to go inside the place while I'm at work at least once every two months. He has gone in for such reasons as: Checking water pressure, need to paint balcony even though it was newly painted, need to show to prospective renters of similar apartments, need to show to prospective mortgagers. Is this normal or excessive? I feel a little infringed upon.

Can I still get the apartment even if my credit is not the same as others? I am interested in renting/living in an apartment in Los Angeles, CA. This apartment is so beautiful and spacious. The rent is expensive because it cost about $1500/month to live there. I know that L.A. is expensive, but I always wanted to live there when I was a kid, since I am from Chicago. I also noticed that landlords look at your credit report to see your credit, and I am not sure which credit report they would look at. I don't want to get rejected because I really want to live at that apartment. I am also afraid that my credit score would be bad from the other two credit reports since I already know that one of my credit scores on one of my credit reports is good. My question is should I keep my fingers crossed and hope that I do get approved for the apartment or should I just forget about it and pray that I get the apartment?
How can an apartment broker advertise to landlords to sell their apartments?

Why does my apartment window unit air conditioner work half the time? Just moved into my new apartment and it has an older window-unit A/C. For the first day, it didn't seem like it was blowing cold air at all and the apartment was hot. The next day it works perfectly fine and blows nice cool air and I get the apartment down to 74*. Now its back to blowing normal air again and I'm back in an 86* apartment. Is there a solution to this or should I call the landlord to have it fixed?
How does the heater in my apartment work? I live in a big apartment building that's probably 25 years old. The building has free water and free heat to all the residents. The heater runs along the floor on one wall in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I know that there is water running through the heaters because sometimes I can hear it. Also, the people down the hall turned the knobs on the heater & hot water sprayed out. (Our lease agreements say that we're not suppose to touch the knobs and they were evicted.) Our apartments are toasty warm and very dry. I assumed the apartments were steam heated. But, the lady next door said that it can't be steam heat because the apartments wouldn't be so dry. Also, if I change the temp on the thermostat, the temp in my apartment doesn't seem to change. Can anyone explain how this heating system works?
Moving out of a bug infested apartment into a new apartment.? I'm guessing I had bed bugs (I have been bitten) and cockroaches (they were all over the place). The new apartment will not be ready till April 11th. Meanwhile the exterminators have come in to spray my apartment. I'm staying with my parents till the new apartment is available (in a new apartment complex). I'm planning on trashing all of my furniture, and buying new stuff. I do however need to keep books (for school) and other small items. How do I make sure that I don't take any bugs with me.

Can people get into an apartment if they have bad credit? My husband and I have previous divorces which has left our credit scores pretty poor, and next year we are planning on moving into an apartment. I called one apartment complex and they said they go to a website called "on sight". And its just a pass or fail from there. Is there someone out there that works at an apartment mangmnt office and can let me know. We don't want to waste our money on application fees, if we are just going to be ultimately told no, as app fees can be up to 60.00 a person for every apartment complex we are interested in. I forgot to add that I did ask one apartment complex if we wold be asked to pay more in deposit, and they said no, its either pass or fail........of course that was just one apartment complex though.

When buying an apartment, how important it is to you if it is on the 3rd floor or on the 1st floor? I am tempted to go for the 3rd floor because once I am in, it has 5 windows within two sides of the building and therefore it is quite sunny, from two windows I see trees and green, while the one on the 1st floor only has only 3 windows and they are all on the same side of the building and so it is a bit gloomier apart from the morning, also the windows only face the street and therefore not much green to be seen.. Another difference is the 3rd floor apartment has 2 bedrooms and 1 living room with small bathroom and kitchen while the 1st floor apartment has 2 bedroom (no living room) but a bigger bathroom (with no window!) and bigger kitchen. The size of the two apartments is roughly the same, the one below being a tad bigger even if it has no living room. I just can't decide which one to go for. A deciding factor could be they are mountain apartments and they both rely on wood stoves for heating. I guess logging wood up to the 3rd floor isn't as feasible as logging it to the 1st floor? Lol. The below apartment is a third more expensive, although the money isn't that much of a problem.
Are apartment managers usually willing to work with you when it comes to your rent? I have never been late and have been living in the same apartment for 4 and a half years.

How can I make my apartment managers check my apartment for mold? Ever since my husband and I moved into our apartment 4 months ago, we've experienced a lot of symptoms that could be caused by toxic mold.

Is there some legal way to make our apartment managers check our entire apartment for mold? We can't move for several more months due to our contract.
How do I rid my apartment of fleas coming from the adjoining apartment? I live in an apartment complex and my apartment is infested with fleas. I have bombed a few times, used powders and have tried topical treatments on my cat. Due to the adjoining apartments being infested due to their pets the fleas keep coming back. My poor cat!

How can I get an apartment as an unemployed college student? I currently attend college and am living at home on parental support. I want to move out, and my parents are willing to help me, but most apartment applications want to see two pay stubs. My goal is to get the apartment and then find a job immediately near campus. If this takes time my parents can help me make rent until that time comes. I also have a room mate who does work. The apartment costs $450 a month, and there are two of us. If I have a cosigner will the apartment complex ignore the fact that I am unemployed?
How can I keep my apartment from smelling like a litter box? I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my 3 cats. What can I say I am a cat person. Anyway..

I spray with air freshener and use febreeze but nothing seems to work. If you have any tips or tricks when it comes to litter boxes or on keeping my apartment smelling good that would be great. Thanks!
Are apartment employees allowed to enter a tenant's apartment at any time when tenant is not home? The apartment employee is using the technique of 1-90 day of checking on tenant to see if apartment is ready for main inspection which may happen within 1-90. After this 90 day period another pre-inspection will occur within 1-90 day. Does it seem like it's giving them political freedow to come and go into a tenant's apart. Again, does apartment employees have the right to enter a tenant's apartment at any time when tenant is away or not.
Should an apartment complex be responsible for clearing snow? The snow plow "clearing" my apartment parking lot piled snow 3-feet high behind my car.

What recourse do I have if an apartment complex does not honor the terms of the rental application in texas? I applied for an apartment and the application specifically stated that if I paid the application fee, the administrative fee and the deposit, the apartment would be taken off the market. It specifically outlined and stated the apartment #, the move in date and the agreed rental rate. The following day I get a call from the apartment complex asking me if I could move in on an earlier date than the agreed move in date because they really need to rent the apartment out at an earlier date. I stated no because I and the leasing agent signed the application that agreed to those terms. I also paid the required monies to take the aparment off the market. Then on the following day, the leasing agent calls and states that the present tenants are not going to move out. So now I am out the application fee and the deposit. I don't think the leasing agent should have given me the impression that the apt was available if that was not the case...so what recourse do I have now? Anybody?

What to do when your apartment complex refuses to fix problems? I live in an apartment complex that refuses to fix things when they go wrong in the apartment.

They have came up to fix it before and blamed me for putting a mop down the drain and then a washcloth, both of which I have never done. They refuse to come up and fix anything else with it. The sink is the same exact way. I dont know what I should do to get them to fix it. Is there a number to call or somewhere I could look to get help on getting my apartment to fix things? I dont know what my options are. Moving isnt an option right now. Im looking for maybe some legal action I can take.

How long should I wait for a renovated apartment to be complete? My boyfriend and I moved into our current apartment the first weekend in October 2006. We signed a month lease with the belief that we would be moving into a renovated apartment by November. The apartments were (and still are) under renovation when we moved in. We chose to do this because we'd get $100 off the rent every month for 12 months. However, it's mid-March and we're still in the unrenovated unit. Every time we ask for a time frame of when we will move into the renovated unit we get the run around. Everyone seems to have different answers and no solutions. The apartment is closer to being completed than it was even a month ago and there are people working but it's still taking a lot longer than promised. What does everyone think about this situation and what should I do? We like the unrenovated unit (minus the basement laundry) but we'd like to be in the unit promised to us.

We get these little notes from the bug man who say he is going to come spray for bugs, but they only spray the outside of the bottem apartments! We have them so bad that I have had to move All of my food out of the pantry because of a huge roach nest that is in it. YUK! Also I had to throw away my dogs bed because they made a nest in it. They are just all over - I am tired of being told its getting taken care of when it is not! So my question is, what can I do to get rid of them being that I live in an apartment. I mean, we can't bomb the house (and that wouldn't work anyways). Would it be possible to get some kind of exterminator to come and then we just give them the bill? I mean I know you can do that if you live in a house. And would it even do any good to spray for roaches in just my apartment? We live in one upstairs. I don't need to know of an exterminator, I know one who wiped them out of our last house for us- I just don't know if it would be ok to call him and have him treat only our apartment. I don't know if that would do any good. And if I did that I would want the apartment people to pay for it. OK, I'm insulted, My apartment is very clean. I'm just poor and live in crapy apartments. I've complained SEVERAL times to both the apartment manager and the pest company but they refuse to do anything except spray the bottom outside apartments. My neighbors are filthy and their nastiness is coming into our apartment! I don't know what kind of legalities there are for such a problem so - if you know some Texas renting laws let me know. If you only have stupid answers don't waste my time. I am very serious and am even considering talking to lawyers about this.

The complex sprayed chemicals and painted the downstairs apartment below my father's apartment. They did not fumigate or open any windows after doing this. As a result, these fumes came through our ventilation late at night and sickened my father. He is a heart patient with chronic lung disease. This aggraveted his condition and has put him in the hospital. Do we have a case against this complex and what kind of attorney handles these matters?
I have a cockroach problem in my apartment? I live in one of those buildings with an outdoor fire escape in NYC, so it's pretty old... I kept finding roaches in my room and all over the apartment even though I left no food in sight. Someone told me to leave some kinda poison around, but I don't want to find dead roaches randomly all over the apartment. There are some roaches in my closet for some reason and it isn't that crowded in there... still I'd hate to find dead roaches near my clothes. Is there some kinda way that I can trap these roaches or drive them away from my apartment? Thanks for everyone's input :D I talked to some people by the area, and apparently pretty much everyone who lives in this city has either a rat or cockroach problem... so it's nothing the landlord can do. I'm pretty much OCD clean and I never eat at home so I'm not sure what's attracting the roaches, there's nothing edible in my closet anyways... I'll try the trap, acid, powder, and whatever other method I can find all at once. Something's gotta kill them.

How small of an apartment can a welsh corgi comfortably live in? I'm thinking about getting a welsh corgi as a pet while in college, and I live in apartments on campus. The square footage that the dog would have access to is about 450-550 square feet (don't know the exact) as well as being able to go outside anytime. Do you think this would pose a problem? Should I wait until I graduate? I know ANY dog would like a bigger space to run around and play in (compared to any size apartment), but is mine too small?

How can I get out of my apartment lease? Here is the situation: I signed a one year lease in November of 2006, so my lease expires in November of 2007. This is is my second one year lease with the apartment managers. I recentlly promoted at work and I am being moved to another city, about an hour away. I found my first lease agreement and their is a transfer clause that allows me to get out of my lease with a 30 day notice and a letter from my company. However, I do lose my deposit ($300). My newest lease does not have a transfer clause and the only thing close to it is a military clause (I live in a military town) that allows soldiers to get out of a lease if they receive orders taking them somwhere else. I wouldn't exactly describe my apartment managers as friendly. They've been pretty strict with noise, littering and unauthorized vehicles in the apartment complex. What can I do to get out of my lease?
How to find an apartment long distance? I'm going to move 500 miles. What's the best way to find a place to live in this situation? I'm not looking for a roommate situation this time, so that might make it slightly harder, having to sign a lease. I'll be changing jobs as well since my company doesn't have an office there. Should I ask for extra time before starting my new job, so that I can go there, search for apartments, then come back and move my stuff? Or should I move there into a temporary housing so I can look from there? I have furniture and stuff that I'd like to bring, not a whole apartment but basically a bedroom + odds and ends.

The issue with the whole plan is that his grandparents live upstairs and it isn't cool if they get to know that people downstairs are listening to loud music.

Can an apartment building people deny your application because you have a child? I live in Calgary, AB in a shitty bsmt "apartment." We've been trying to find another apartment, well one that's clean at least. My husband makes like 3500/month so we have more than enough cash to pay the outrageous apartment rental costs. And we recently have been denied like 2-3 apartments not because we can't afford it or our credit is bad, no it's cause we have a 1 1/2yr old son and aparently he's too young to live in the building. I don't think they can deny your application based on whether or not u have kids. Isn't that ageism? I've never heard so many lame excuses as to why we can't live in a building. I just wanna know if they can get away with that!

Is an apartment complex allowed to turn off your water without notification? I live in Texas. I don't know if they are working on the pipes on the property or what but we have no water in my apartment and I have a 6 month old infant with me.

Do all apartment complexes have to allow you to have a satellite dish? I just activated my directv service, but just found out I have to relocate. I just got approved for a wonderful apartment and paid the security deposit, but then found out that they do not allow satellite dishes. We called directv and they said that we would still have to pay the 300 dollar cancellation fee even though its not our choice to cancel, it is the landlord saying no dishes. Directv said something that they legally have to allow you to bring a dish with you. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
