Nonchalant Leasing Consultant - Telephone Leasing Presentation Gone Wrong!
This is an example of why some leasing consultants don't last long in real estate. Think twice about renting from staff who answer the phone like this, sound a bit annoyed, and don't make you feel like they want you to visit.

A Word from the Apartment Leasing Tips Blogger...
For years, I have shared with my readers some valuable information to assist them with their apartment related experiences. As a former community manager, leasing consultant, and administrative assistant, I am well aware of the challenges in the property management industry. It can feel like a losing battle when everything seems to be going wrong and it can also feel like you are on top of the world when everything is going right.
Nowadays, I am a proud renter who enjoys a great property, nice neighbors, and a trouble-free unit. My family is steadily growing in size and one day it will be time to move. One of the things that I have been noticing as our family shops for a new home is the subpar quality of some of these rental properties. Would you open your doors up to strangers with old insects lying about? How about telling your guests to wait while you do other things? How about not returning phone calls? And what's with all these landlords who think that keeping old, tired fixtures is a great marketing tool? To me, it says one thing, "We don't care about our tenants." I'm glad to know that, we won't be back.
So in your quest to find a quality place to stay, whatever you do, don't settle! It is always better to remain where you are then to inherit a new set of problems. Feel free to check around this site for informative articles and thanks for stopping by!

Can You Pay Partial Rent?
Things happen and sometimes rent is short. A tenant who needs a little mercy will want to make sure he or she knows his or her rights before walking into the leasing office with his or her request to pay partial rent. Not every company or private owner operates the same way. Most often an individual who is renting out his or her home is more understanding than a corporation that overseas many properties.
Here are several things you need to know:
1. Read your lease. You may be in violation of your lease agreement if you don't pay the full amount.
2. You can pay partial rent, but you just might still receive an eviction notice. So do talk with your landlord directly and also put your request in writing too. Ask your landlord to prepare a receipt for your partial payment.
3. If your landlord agrees that you can pay partial rent, you will need the following in writing: how much you paid, how much you still owe, late fee, the rest of the rent owed, when those payments are due, and also an agreement that the landlord will not evict you if you pay the remaining rent due on the specified date.
4. Be sure you and landlord sign all agreements. This will be used in court if you should not meet the agreement.
Seek legal counseling if you suspect your rights are being violated during this process.
