Landlords can be evil

26 04 2009

Or should I say that property management companies can be evil? Our apartment is owned by a similar company as this, and I’m sure ours would also be more than happy to go after a murdered person’s family for rent “owed” and an ETF for leaving the apartment early (even if the person was killed). Our management apparently was refusing to let a member of the military out of his contract when he was called to Iraq a few months ago (which, in case you’re wondering, isn’t legal).

After all our interaction with such companies, Neal and I are loathe to move into an apartment owned by these types of companies. Here’s hoping we like the house that we’ll soon be checking out to rent this summer: same price as this crappy apartment but we won’t have to deal with imbeciles who don’t know how to keep their TVs, music, and “visitors” at a respectable sound level AND we’ll be getting hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a one-car garage as part of the deal. No more idiots parking half in our space because they were too lazy to back out and actually park correctly.

Well, here’s hoping…
