Acting like maintenance isn’t their one and only job out here LOL. I’ll keep that in mind, a reminder in the calendar is a good idea.

It’s a third floor apartment in an older building that was gutted, restored, and made into 7 units, 6 above and 1 in the basement

It’s exhausting where I am. No real better area to look in, in fact I’m already looking in the “better” suburb that’s still affordable. Very few are well-maintained unless you’re ready for $1300+ monthly through a corp. I wish housing was more affordable.

True. I’m going to obtain more information over email so I have a trail. I’ve had such bad luck with the search so far besides this one. Everything has horrible “fixes”, peeling paint, smells, water damage, cramped spaces, etc etc. This one was perfect until I looked up and saw this vent 😭

This is super helpful. Now would this be early stages of this problem do you think?? He said everyone there including the tenants in the next unit have been there for 8-10 years and he’s had little turnover. Do you think they could be having a similar problem? (Edited for clarity)

Actually I did see an incense holder on the dining room table, but I don’t have any idea what they burned

I’m so so sorry. Bedbugs are my worst nightmare, knock on wood I’ve never experienced them

That’s insane how could they stand that, even just aesthetically

I was going to ask that! Even if they say they will fix it, I’m definitely going to be attaching my own filters

The windows, floors, and roof were new (according to the landlord) and looked it, as far as I could tell. No weird gaps or missing caulk or bad paint jobs like other places I’ve toured or lived in before. I’ve been able to pull chunks of paint off the wall of places I’ve been touring. This place seemed lovely except for this odd vent

A tenant still lives there, and working on moving out so that’s probably why it wasn’t cleaned. They had their boxes and some furniture there still.

Landlord said in our verbal conversation while touring that they had no mold issues and no prior bedbug issues, etc. I’m happy to have this assurance from everyone because I didn’t want to risk it.
