Yea basically he eenie-meenie-miney-mo’d our 1st floor apt., when we thought he’d just replace our current landlord. It was extremely degrading and stressful, also cause the Coldwell Banker Realator lady didn’t have an ounce of empathy and treated us like cattle.

Now we know the danger of being month to month! The thing is, we were m-t-m for like a year and a half, and thought we just had a chill landlord… cause he was very good to us and fixed things and was very nice.

Now we know he was just prepping us up to be trampled. And it was right before we were getting ready to buy a house, so it was just a major setback.

Word to the wise- when your landlord starts “letting” you go month to month, beware. It’s like the tide shrinking out before a tsunami. Make sure to ask them if they have intent to sell.

OP came to the internet completely unaware of why OP is unable to score apartments in a highly competitive market. More so, they did it 'just to complain' so, at best, the post is asinine anyway, given that this person is complaining on the internet and you're expecting the internet to coddle them and sympathize. They aren't even looking for help, according to their post, saying it's 'rhetorical'. Then to have you white knight for them, when again, at best this post is asinine and I would even label this person as insanely foolish to be renting small apartments, in a metropolitan area that is more competitive than average, and to have two dogs - that need outdoor, open spaces - and expect anything more than what they're getting here - which is a minor brow beating to this point. So if they're here for rhetoric, and complaining, then you're going to get equal amounts on both sides. The internet doesn't exist just to tell people what they want to hear. Don't be naive.

Glad it helped! I happen to live nearby, and my anecdotal experience would confirm your assertion. I actually hadn't made the connection yet, but this really helps explain the level of kitsch that they have in their lobby areas.

This whole thread and the complaints about these apartments remind me of this old Onion article: https://www.theonion.com/report-nations-gentrified-neighborhoods-threatened-by-1819569723
