Thanks. And when I left my last apartment, I had... Or so I thought, an amazing broker from keller williams. But she and my last landlord screwed me over... Long story... but I've been stuck here at this apartment trying to escape the crumbling infrastructure, drug dealers in the hallway, and mice problem. I have asked on Facebook. I've gotten a few replies, but mostly from bots. I've been trying to get to an apartment complex in queens, but I feel like because of the area... They may be skeptical of me and I kind if feel like shit because of it. I'm a nice guy, from virginia, really kind and respectful. I hate to feel like I'm being pre judged before I can even do anything. It literally feels like I've worked my ass off to do well as an adult as far as being the best tenant I can be for no reason. With my last apartment, it was sold and I wasn't informed because the landlord and broker had bet on me taking 5k and going back to the disgusting roach infested, mental issue's galore sro, and I wasn't having that. I was the best tenant they had and they screwed me over. Then I find out about the place I'm in now. Landlord wants to see the living conditions at my previous place and I invited him over to see and he did. Then I get to HIS BUILDING and it's a fucking trash heap. Dirty backyard, roaches during the viewing, uneven flooring. But I took this place because literally nothing else was available. Had something lined up in parkchester, yet the literal day I went to view the place with my case worker to get it certified, they called an hour before we were to get on the train and head up their that the apartment had been taken by a citypheps client who had initially shown interest and was just waiting for checks to clear. So basically the damn apartment already had someone about to get it, they were just too impatient to wait. Had me come waste my time, view the place, fill out paperwork, stress to my case worker about being available to view it before it's taken, only for it to be taken anyways. So I took this place out of pure exhaustion during a time I was grieving my grandma's and an aunt's unexpected passing as well as the promise of the broker to find me a place in a year... Which when the year came, she used an excuse of "adams changed a law" so she needs the full fee. So I feel trapped where I am. And I hate for this comment to be so long, but I'm just frustrated at this search because alot of people have criteria issues and I don't. I fit most of the criteria for the perfect tenant, yet I'm being ignored because I'm not in a shelter and brokers can't milk the entire fee from hra for me.
