I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the

while his mom was off working for the Air Force (she is a reservist
and a single mom). As part of that my girlfriend stayed at her
apartment a lot, watching him and the cats. Occasionally he stayed
at our house. It was a lot of responsibility. The weekend before
she got back we spent a lot of time cleaning her place. In fact, I

my deposit. I wrote him a "strongly worded letter" and followed it up
with a "Pay up or I'm going to file a small claims court in 10 days"
template. He didn't respond so I filed a claim, but the day I filed
a claim, he wrote me back and added $250 to the deposit. If I hadn't

| 2009/2/4-8 [Reference/RealEstate] UID:52507 Activity:nil | 2/3 There's a glut of apartments out there. Three units on my floor
(of a 80 unit apartment) are now vacant, in less than a month.
The weird thing is my landlord is increasing the rent by $200
a month, bumping it to $2200. I'm told her about the rate out
there, and she only budged $100. WTF, is this common? Oh well,
time to look for another place. I hate corporate managed apartments.
