Hello all,Here goes...
So, several months ago, I had a noisy neighbor and her two children move above me. The first few weeks were BRUTAL. They bumped and made like elephants until 12 am which was when I finally got some sleep. I had been living in my unit for 6 years when after a few months of NO SLEEP and having to knock on her door a few times, I finally decided to leave. I put in my 60 days notice and began looking for a new place to live. Granted, the neighborhood had changed, and every time someone new moved into the building, a bike got stolen, packages stolen, or a new homeless person was found living in the basement and/or the storage units. I had just about had enough and wanted out. It took a few weeks to find something new, and when I did, it was a tough choice, because I had to choose between two nice potentials. The first one, was homely, very nice, and in a decent neighborhood, but the reviews were terrible. The second, was a new building, with a rent special, beautiful units, and much closer to my place of work.
After much deliberation, I went with the latter.
Since then, I've had a decent time living there thus far, but I am beginning to have second thoughts. The dishwasher does not work. for about 2 weeks now, its been a passive-aggressive back and forth exchange with me and the management to get it fixed. I am constantly asking them "did you guys take a look at the appliances before I moved in?" and all I keep getting is, "This is a new building, it was probably damaged during the move, things like this happen all the time". So.....NOW after a few weeks, they have to order new parts for it and I am stuck washing a butt load of dishes myself from the move. I can manage, but it's one of the amenities I am paying for, WHY didn't they have this fixed before I moved in???
Second, the residents are already complaining about other residents being rude, and things breaking. I literally feel duped and even scammed into purchasing a place there. It's a beautiful place, but I don't feel at ease there. It's NOT a good sign.
I want to move. But I feel like it would be a cowardly move on my part because I'm not giving it a chance. I feel bummed out because I was hoping for a fresh positive start from living where I was before. It's like I went from one extreme to another. NOT what I wanted to happen. I am trying not to be a tirade of a ***** to management, but I really feel like leaving or telling them I want to change units. I am not sure what to do. My family loves my new home, and I don't want to let them down.
What should I do???
Thanks guys <3
