Apartment Rental Surprise - Bad Gift Idea - Make the Decision Together
Some renters want to make their partners smile this holiday season by going ahead and signing a lease or making a home purchase, but not so fast! The likelihood that a rush decision might come back to haunt you later is pretty good!
When it comes to doing something like renting a home for your family, you should make sure that your kin are onboard from the start! In addition, keep in mind that sometimes landlords are going to encourage you to sign a lease because that is their job and others have a few things they just aren't telling you about a place.
Ask yourself, what could be lurking behind a wall, in a cabinet, beyond a ceiling, or around you that might be an issue that your partner might have noticed if only you would have put the brakes on signing the lease?
So before you make any hasty decisions just to surprise a partner, do keep in mind, you won't be the only one living there.
Happy Holidays!

Reflecting on Those Days as a Community Manager
The memories never go away as long as there are apartment buildings. The thoughts come to mind every now and then when as a leasing professional or community manager you helped this resident and that one with a lock out issue, another with a rent concern, and others with work orders, noisy neighbors and more. I will never forget the young man who took a bad drug that left him stark-naked running around our faux plants in the lobby area. He ran and screamed while the police officer chased him. The following week an older man strolled down the hallway in his underwear after taking the same drug as well. Along with roaches, we had to exterminate a drug dealer on the property. Oh, those were the days.
