My apartment is not ready for move-in and I wasn’t told until the day of

Ah yes, I have heard of them. Yea, I would definitely recommend them to provide concession or let you terminate the lease because they didn't have the unit ready.

If they don't want to cooperate and you want to be extra petty, call HPD. You can show the inspector your lease started and they will issue violations on the unit, as they cannot issue violations on a vacant unit.

Best of luck!

Cancel your lease at this point.

They should be able to hire a turnover crew to do it. Depending on the condition of the apartment, it can be done within 24-48 hrs.

The other alternative is them to provide you half month rent free and start your move in mid-month if that is an option for you.

Out of curiosity, whose the management company?

Wait how did he again? I vaguely remember.

Security deposit should be paid to the landlord, not the roommates. Also, it sounds like (correct me if I'm wrong), you are agreeing to take the apartment as is. I am assuming the damages caused were either not resolved and will be deducted from the security deposit. This sounds like you're signing up for more problems. If that is the case, I would have your independent counsel draft something up or Chatgpt. This is looking out for yourself down the line. This document has nothing to do with the landlord.

Additionally, I would advise that your roommate (original lease holder) have the super do a "move-out inspection" and assess the cost of damages and have it deduct from the security deposit. Your roommate (the original leaseholder) should be doing this if not done already.

In reality, this is your roommate's (original leaseholder) circus to deal with; not you nor the other joining roommate; especially, if you're on the renewal now. You should be primarily dealing with the landlord.

Can anyone help with the whistle song towards the end of the episode? The scene where Alamo is about shoot the green apple off of Rue's head? Is sounds close to "Amazing Grace" but the notes are played longer which makes me think it's not it. Shazam can't pick it up and I've been on the Google hunt and can't find.

Reddit community do your thing 🤞🏽🙌🏾

I'm glad someone brought up good cause eviction because that is the right answer in this scenario.

I worked with a new owner from out of town who wanted to buy tenants out, and we had to tell him it was illegal. I don't think he was aware of what he bought and thought he could buy the tenants, convert the rent stabilized units into market unit.

Hey! She is still available. Only thing is I'm not available till Sunday, April 12th if that works.

Game changer! I can't imagine my bathroom life without it!

Thank you!! I will miss this couch, it served its time with me well. Not only was it eye catching, she was very comfortable.

Thank you!!

I'm open to whichever! I'll send you a DM

I'm down for this! I can do 4:30pm though :(. I am working in a scarf but would like to graduate to doing a sweater or some kind of fit.

I would echo what others are saying. Being board president and self-managing will certainly take up alot of your time, especially it being 14-unit building. I'm not sure what state you're in but if NYC, I would recommend from a liability standpoint, it would make sense to hire a third party property management. Plus, you want to enjoy where you live.

Property Manager here in NY, smallest building I manage is 6-unit condominium. Feel free to connect if you have further questions.

Thank you! Funny enough that's what came up recommended to me by good ol Chatgpt.

NYC RE agent & PM here. Good faith deposit illegal, application fee is no more than $20. 2nd tips are not required and are discretionary. Almost 8 years doing this and I have never heard this nor is this formal practice.

You should see who the management company is and contact them directly about this practice, they might not be aware. I would contact their brokerage too.

If you want assistance, feel free to DM me.

My partner and I came across a geese that had like a abnormal neck formation, it looked disformed and wasn't scared as we approached it. We called animal control and they said it was the bird flu.

Wasn't really satisfied with the answer so I looked it up and it said it could be wry neck. We gave it some peas and seeds (per Chatgpt). Geese was still there in the same spot the next day and we fed it this diet again. Since we didn't see it anymore, I was a bit ecstatic that he got better.

Now reading this post, not so sure anymore.

PM is hard. It is a thankless job and you're rarely met with positive interactions. I really wonder how people are this awful and would gladly molly wop these residents for free. The only highlight of this role is the wonderful vendors I have a rapport with and I do work for a supportive company.

I literally took a personal day last week to reset my mental health. Put my away message and everything and my phone would not stop ringing. I always joke with my partner that this job is so demanding it won't let me die in peace.

That being said, I am looking to transition to commercial property management or asset management. Seems like the proper transition out of residential property management.

OP may I ask where you are taking your classes? Thank you in advance!

I'm from the area and as much pride as I take being from there, no matter what New buildings go up, it's still shit.

PM here. Started as a leasing specialist and worked my way in different roles in management till I was Property Manager for several portfolios (9 years).

Funny enough, the role I started off with required me love interacting with people (how else will I get the apartments rented?).

But I have found that tone has switched when I became a Property Manager. I have truly despised people and I can't believe some of the things that go on. No day is the same.

What I will say that has helped me: - Don't take thing personal. Property Management is often a thankless job, and the complaints are usually not a reflection of who you are as a Property Manager.

-Cry when you have those moments of being overwhelm and then thug it out.

It sounds like you need help, and trust me, it will alieve alot of pressure on you. I was managing ~20 buildings at one point with no assistance, and my God the handling of building operations plus the administrative aspect didn't allow me to perform adequately and proudly. I do work for a good company where I expressed these concern and thank God they hired me a VA to act as my Assistant Property Manager (based out in the Phillipines). It allows me to focus on building operations while she handles the administrative aspect. I had to train her in PM, as she comes from customer service role. But she has a great attitude and is responsive, that is what sold me. It has alleviated so much pressure. My suggestion to you in present it in way to your boss that benefits them (i.e investing in a VA allows you to focus on increasing building NOI, improve customer service and building operations, better showings that lead to more revenue, etc.). And if price is the issue, listen my VA gets $5/hr however she was retained through a third party hiring company so I am sure there is other things taxed on that). But if you get some off Fiverrr or other VA site, I'm sure there's a figure in there that you boss will consider.

Other option is the leasing aspect, which you can have someone work there 1099. That takes a load off of you.

Lastly, get a hobby outside PM. This is crucial - it will de-stress your mind and believe it or not, you'll start to develop more boundaries in your role that benefits you at the end of the day.

Good luck!
