Ranting about renting

Postby fatsteak » Sat Apr 21, 2007 8:34 pm

I recently learned that the apartment I have been living in for a few years is converting to condos. So I am a bit more annoyed with all the bad things about renting. I used to have an on-site manager and she and her husband did a great job. After they left, the place has gone to shit. The last few managers are terrible. Left after only a few weeks on the job, no communication, unaware of break-ins and most everything with the building, hard to reach, the list goes on. But still, I like the apartment. For the price that I paid, the view of the space needle, downtown, and the mountains from my balcony rivals those million dollar condos.

Now that I have to move, I find the landlords/managers I contacted or tried to contact with, no better. No returning calls, flaking out on viewing appointments.

I saved some money but yeah, having your own place has some advantages. Not having to deal with incompetent manager is one thing.

well...then it sounds like you are a perfect candidate to purchase the apartment that you were renting!! Hooray!! It shouldn't take long to give it that condo conversion facelift...so you can take a short vacation and after a week or two come on back to YOUR brand new old home.

and now...you'll never have to deal with a flaky manager. Hope you enjoy the risks of a flaky homeowners association.

Buy away.

On the plus side tenants in Seattle have decent legal rights. Just google it. I'm pretty sure if your landlord isn't fixing something you can make them. If they try to retaliate, they're in trouble.

Maybe things will improve this year. The smart money will be selling rental properties in 2007, so the only landlords left will be people who don't really care about profits.

:D
