What I don’t get is why people don’t CHECK that everything in the ad exists and works BEFORE signing the lease?! “Walk-through.”
A lot of landlords are crooked asshats, so this kind of thing is expected if you don’t verify, and is easily averted with a few minutes of due diligence.[/quote]
Because some things fall through the cracks sometimes. For instance, if it’s in the middle of summer, are you really going to check if the heater is working?
Is it feasible to check if all the phone jacks/cable hookups are viable before moving in?
