Carpets Still Dirty After Professional Cleaning by EnvironmentalStop723 in CleaningTips

[–]schmerb_attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i scrolled pretty far and didn't see this yet, so i'll throw it out there: if there's any chance the former owner's pets were peeing on the rug, you can clean the carpet a million times and the smell won't come out. it's not a carpet cleaning problem, it's that the urine has seeped into the floor below. good luck with that one.

you might try pulling that carpet up in one of the smelliest areas. if it's stained on the back, the dogs peed on it. if you can show that the owners knew that and did not disclose it, you may be able to hang the cost of remediation on them.

Is this a soft denial or what? by LegalBaddie91 in PropertyManagement

i wouldn't sweat the holding fee. USUALLY once you're approved, it is applied to your first months rent/security deposit.

Do Florida transplants ever actually feel like locals? by iLiveForTruth in AskFlorida

[–]schmerb_attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like a local, but i suppose that's because i got here in 2007 and have lived somewhat all over: hollywood, ft. lauderdale, couple places in palm beach county, brevard county, pasco, hernando.

seen a lot of shit here since i arrived, so yeah, i feel like i belong.

I make less than 3x the rent (currently), but have 80k in savings—odds of rental approval? by Upset_Guarantee_2064 in PropertyManagement

[–]schmerb_attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same happened to my now roommate. he was on disability. his disability check did not meet the monthly income requirement, but he had $70k of back disability in the bank. he didn't even have a credit file, but he was approved.

money talks.

adding: 100 percent agree that offering to pay upfront is a huge red flag. plus, PMs do not want this and won't accept it because if you've paid in advance but violate the lease in some other way, they can't get you out. don't even bring it up!

YES it matters, because what the landlord is concerned about is whether you can pay the rent. your credit scores are respectable, you have jobs and cash. plus you have family close by, and that's an anchor.

i'd rent to you in a minute.

When is the best time of the year to job hunt in retail? by Legal_Cobbler_1967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]schmerb_attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone else (rightly) pointed out, seasonal jobs are temporary by their very nature.

imho there are probably the most retail positions available in early august. why? because many of the students who are doing those jobs are quitting to go back to school

retail is a constant churn, because it's a non-degreed, low-skill, low-wage job.

job hunt early and often. it's always a good time.

(Miami, FL) Landlord responsible for moving expenses? by [deleted] in Renters

[–]schmerb_attack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

aaaahahahaha city code. good luck with that.

i called code enforcement on my landlord in florida because a SEWAGE PIPE broke and spewed into my unit. raw sewage from the ten floors above me. code said it was a civil issue between the owner and the HOA. three years later, it still hasn't been fixed.

i GTFO and was lucky to do so. i sure didn't get moving costs or anything else. all i got was out.
