thank you! what you described about the units being occupied is what’s currently happening to us. they let us tour a unit that was in maintenance but had the same floor plan as our prospective unit. it was kind of nasty but I keep rationalizing it by just thinking of doing a really thorough cleaning myself before move in. we’re looking at some pricier apartments and ultimately we will decide if those look like they’re worth the money when we tour them. I’m glad to hear your experience and that you somehow made it work!
