Problems With My Apartment

When I was younger, I fantasized about how wonderful life would be when I moved into my own apartment. Now I’m a bit older and wiser, and my dreams have turned into nightmares. My apartment has given me nothing but headaches. From the day I signed the lease, I’ve had to deal with an uncooperative landlord, an incompetent janitor, and inconsiderate neighbors.

First of all, my landlord has been uncooperative, all he ever does is bother me about paying my dues before the dead line; I’m getting used to hearing his complains every morning, he either calls me on the phone or shows up in person. Sometimes he even demands more than the usual, his one and only alibi is that prices are overflowing in the market and that others are willing to pay more than me. I’m going through a really tough time right now and my boss had already given me a pay-cut which the landlord doesn’t seem to understand. I wish he wouldn’t be so careless about my current situation but he doesn’t seem to care about anyone but himself. I’ve had a problem not only with my landlord but also with my incompetent janitor who is not taking full responsibility in his work. I always have to cope with the smell of garbage that he forgets to pick up; I’m starting to think he’s doing it on purpose only because he’s not receiving much tips. Moreover, most of the times when I ring him, he’s either sleeping in, out of the building or simply ignoring me. In addition, I avoid inviting friends over so they wouldn’t step on the dirty floors he never cleans. I really hope they replace him soon because I can’t take living in a dump anymore. Perhaps the worst problem has been with the inconsiderate neighbors who live in the apartment above me. All I ever hear is constant crying from the neighbor’s new born baby; ever since he arrived I haven’t been getting a good night sleep and lately I’ve been suffering from severe headaches. However he’s not the only one who’s bothering

    After reading The Letter From Sullivan Ballou i noticed that it was quite similar to An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge. Both had something to do with the love the men felt for their wives and the reality of knowing that they might be dead soon. This story and letter have the same meaning but put into two different ideas. Farquhar knew was going to be hung for wrong doing and Ballou Knew he had a chance of surviving or dying in war, They both thought about their wives while knowing this.…

    One day I came home from school and saw a moving truck in front of my home. The first thing I did was find my parents to ask them if we were moving. They both said yes, all of us are moving to Fresno California. I was afraid because I had lived in Modesto my entire life and was very comfortable here. I knew my way around Modesto and especially my school where I had many friends and knew the teachers well. Modesto, after all, is my hometown and now I'm transferring to a foreign place. When all of us arrived in Fresno we stayed there a couple of weeks and realized the house had a huge amount of issues such as with leaking water pipes, a broken heater and a variety of other problems. My dad said “Maybe we are not meant to live here”. Finally…

    For the first two months of my freshman year there wasn't a single piece of furniture on the floor so I couldn't print out papers for school because the printer wasn't set up, I couldn't sleep on my bed but on the mattress itself. The whole process was very irritating and stressful all I could do was hope I didn't fail my first semester and unfortunately I didn't have many friends to help me. When we finally got settled after a year living in Arlington, TX my parents decided to yet again move to a new house because they didn't feel comfortable and neither did my sister and I. During my sophomore year in high school we moved to Dallas, TX a little bit closer to our school. It was annoying to move into another house again We had to pack everything once again and undergo the process of moving from one house to the…

    The family room was locked during my visit since it is getting remodeled. The staff mentioned that the Manager is converting it to an office. The first floor bedrooms are assigned to the two clients that spend most of their day in their rooms. One bedroom is assigned to a fifty year old African American male (client 1) that spent most of the shift in his room watching television. The second first floor bedroom is assigned to a thirty-three year old Caucasian male with down syndrome (client 2), that responded to staff from his bedroom in a joking manner. He watched television while sitting in a chair in his bedroom and playing his handheld game at the same time. The foyer of the home leads to the second floor where there was an office to the left of the top of the stairs, which has one of the two full size bathrooms. To the right of the stairs is a bedroom that belongs to a forty-four year old Caucasian male (client 3), that enjoys spending time with his sister and is part of the Special Olympics skiing, bowling, and track & field league. The other bedroom belongs to a fifty-two year old Caucasian male (client 4), who spent his time pacing the home as he held a cup of coffee and followed the staff and visitor. He smiled when eye contact was made with…

    We boxed the utensils, our clothes, our toys, EVERYTHING, in order to load our belongings into the moving truck. A week and a half prior to our actual moving day, our house was empty, with nothing but some blankets, pillows, and the bags we were taking on our drive. Sleeping on the ground, instead of our beds, was uncomfortable as the ground had very little cushion with it being carpeted, but still did not contour to our bodies, leaving us sore in the morning. Throughout the night we would wake up more often, not only because of discomfort, but because of the plethora of noises we could now hear without the sound dampening furniture. Conversations being held downstairs could now be heard upstairs as everything we said echoed throughout the house, and the small, creepy sounds at night were more real than ever as we could not ignore their increased volumes. We would wake up and each of our backs would be stiff and we would still be a little tired as we did not sleep as well as we could have in beds. Time flew by fast like a strong fall gust of wind, and moving day was soon to be upon…

    A Moving Experience

    To begin, it was expensive to rent our old house, for everyone knows that renting a house is like throwing away money. For instance, we were paying the landlord eight hundred dollars in rent each month, which he then used to pay off his mortgage and even make a monthly profit. Then, after shelling out around 10,000 dollars a year, we had invested in nothing, the lease was up, and it was time to start looking for the next black hole we could throw our money into. Also, the house was so old and grimy; it was like living in a decaying tree. For example, the basement’s foundation was never properly sealed and smelled like a rotten basement, kind of musty and moldy with a little earth tied in. We had to keep the washer and dryer on pallets to save them from the monsoon that came with even the slightest sprinkle outside. Our closets were filled with boxes of seasonal decorations, old clothes, and all the junk people should throw away but never do; usually, these things go into the basement, but because of the moisture down there, we were afraid they would come back up molded and mildewed. Worst of all, the house was extremely dangerous and it was really starting to fall apart. Over half the windows were painted shut, leaving about three escape routes in case of a fire, which we were prepared for at all times, and the floors creaked, giving us the feeling that it may give way to the rotten basement beneath any moment. Additionally, the outlets in the kitchen and bathroom were by the sinks, and all the power cords in the kitchen had to be run behind the oven. I’m pretty sure that that…

    I live in a modest home in a middle class neighborhood, not a mansion in a gated community. I've never lived a life of wealth, but I've certainly never been in poverty. That's a compliment to my parents: they've kept us in a stable home where we've never worried about whether or not we would have a meal to eat or a bed to sleep on. But that stability has turned into stagnation. Our home became crowded, with increasingly less free space, and not enough money to upgrade our standard of living. We simply can't afford to add on rooms that we badly need, nor can we afford to move on to a larger home. I'm done with living in a cramped corner — although I'm going to be moving into a college dorm (which will, of course, be smaller than just about any house), I'm going to have more opportunities than ever before and a newfound…

If somebody does get through to you personally, dodge, dive, duck, and dodge. Then, call the spin-doctor. If thing start to get hot, go on vacation. After all, you don't have to worry about things that you don't know about, and you didn't get into the slumlord business because you wanted to help people, anyway.…

    First off, our management is very kind. They know the tenants by name . Even from the day we first picked up our house keys from the office, the people inside welcomed us by name, which was very reassuring to us. Also, whenever we pass by one of the managers, they always greet us. Though, most importantly to me, the management always address our complaints expediently. For example, when my wife and I first visited our apartment before we moved in, we had to complete a pre-occupancy checklist. While there were not many discrepancies, the few that we did note were fixed before we even started moving into our new home. Even since then, all of the problems that have arisen in our apartment such as; burnt-out light bulbs, faulty appliances, broken hot water heaters, and so on; were addressed immediately. Finally, at our apartment complex, every tenant has assigned parking spots only for our vehicles. On multiple occasions, I would find other peoples’ cars parked in my spot. All I needed to do was inform the management of someone in my spot, and the problem was taken care of right…

    The first type of person I encountered was the dirtiest I had lived with. She refused to take out the trash every week, leaving me to do the dirty work. If it were not for me, trash would have been piled up all over the floor. I even had to empty the trash can in her room. In the beginning of our relationship as roommates, we agreed we would do our own dishes. That agreement lasted a total of three days. Not only did she leave dirty dishes in the sink, she would leave them all over the house. Although there was an attempt to stifle the urges, I caved in and cleaned up all the dishes when I noticed more bugs appearing around the house. I lived like this for about three months and moved in with the next roommate.…
