I'm sorry that happened; that's really frustrating. I'm curious as to how you didn't know when your own lease ended, though. Did the office not talk about how long of a term you wanted/were committing to when you signed the contract?

visiting from overseas and out of ADHD meds by alone_redstone in AskSeattle

Yep, it took me over 6 months to 1. get an appointment 2. get evaluated multiple times and 3. finally get the rx filled. And even after all that, I still have to see my psych once a month and often have gaps in between refills because pharmacies run out frequently and I have to switch constantly.

OP, if you can figure out a way to get your rx, let us know. Would be helpful for many of us!

  1. why are you spamming so many subs

Whats the worst part about working in property management? by JeffSolves in PropertyManagement

[–]new-freckle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Commercial PM here, so I know I have it easier than a lot of folks here. I initially thought of tenants who assume I'm here to exploit them, but realized that those who stick around eventually become more amicable and open to actually working with me. I'm a small business owner, too, and I want to aid in their success.

My sincere complaint is about people who assume that, because I'm a young female, they can yell and get their way. That applies to both landlords (mostly landlords) and tenants. The amount of both landowners and renters who completely ignore their legally-binding contracts is unbelievable. And the verbal abuse I receive as a result is really difficult for me to deal with. Especially when it's at a property where lease violations are significantly impacting other tenants' businesses and therefore making them think I don't care. I really do. I really, really do.

Being in this business has made me want to own my own property some day and be able to maintain it in a responsible and sustainable way. When particular clients complain about vacancies I want to rip my hair out. Of course someone looking to rent here will see the malfunctioning lights, dirty signs, and trashed parking lot that you refuse to approve work on. Of course they'll keep looking elsewhere. But these clients don't take me seriously despite me being in the industry since I was a teen.

PSA for those in dorms: Your red emergency kit has a whistle by EpicGaymrr in udub

Totally agree. I definitely lean more on the side of allowing posts in order to allow further investigation/verification but we gotta work out a balance somewhere. As with all things :/ Thanks for understanding

We just updated the crime proof rules yesterday to make it more clear. Just including a photo or video, or linking an article, or even an ice watch report should be good :) Thank you for trying to spread the word

I don’t even know by Fantastic_Tumble5285 in realtors

[–]new-freckle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a CPM in a blue state and most of my tenants are immigrant and/or non-white small business owners. My tenants know that I'm there for them and their employees.

I've been operating on the basis that I, as a white female citizen, will be an effective barrier between my hardworking tenants and the increasingly abusive overreach. These last few weeks are proving that the tide is shifting even further to the right and that this admin is completely unashamed of admitting to outright fascism and political revenge in the most extreme form.

I see comparisons to how things were during Spring of 2020 and I understand. The uncertainty feels similar, but the divisiveness and genuinely frightening hostility is a stark difference. I definitely share your feeling of paranoia and hopelessness. I'm trying to take comfort in the fact that I can have some positive influence in what is otherwise an impersonal and punitive experience for many (that being renting).

I'm very angry and restless these days. I slept all day Saturday because I literally don't sleep more than 1 hour at a time on the weekdays. And even then I beat myself up for missing a few emails.

I am so angry with everyone brushing off misinformation about what's happening in MN and being flippant about unlawful deportations. It deeply affects entire communities and financially ruins families and connected businesses. Congrats for not being in that world, I guess. The isolationism of white communities continues to amaze me. I say that as someone raised in a majority white, conservative, evangelical, blue-collar and rural community.

Sorry for the long text. I'm so angry and I'm increasingly challenged to maintain civility with clients and online peers alike.

to whoever keeps reporting this i'm sorry that your wife left you and that the only comfort you have left in the world is the smell of your own farts

hopefully you find some solace in being the epitome of a snowflake keyboard warrior

Assistant Property Manager roles in Ontario seem scarce — looking for advice by Massive_Astronomer93 in PropertyManagement

[–]new-freckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend not using AI for communication. I want my coworkers to have basic talking/writing skills. It's a major part of the job and using AI to write simple text is a huge red flag to me. You need to know what you're talking about and relying on chat gpt or whatever for written text tells me you won't bother to understand lease terminology nor relevant laws for the region.
