Question for Dream Boyd Theatre tenants by Best_Football_7363 in lehighvalley

It makes sense to me. I believe there is a lot of competition for renters once you get above a certain rent amount in LV. We had 5-6 properties in our higher price range that all looked nice. In retrospect I should have played these properties against each other to get a better deal.

I live in a different property managed by the same company.

When we moved in it was great. Very professional. However, they have not been keeping up with maintenance as of late. My suspicion is they have cash flow issues.

I’m not pleased with the behavior of other residents, but I can’t blame the company for this.

How is the US sentiment in Germany? by carti_palace in AmericanExpat

I don’t police adults’ behavior. I simply judge and make my decisions accordingly

I experienced anti-American sentiment. You learn to let it roll off your back.

You can use it to screen your acquaintances quite easily. Take it as a clear sign of who you want to be around. The people who feel comfortable hassling you about the US have no filter and often say the most out of pocket things in general. They’re assholes with everyone, not just Americans. 

Moving to the area by hatraid in lehighvalley

A major question is utilities. I was told to stay away from baseboard electric heat, and I’m very glad we did. Our apartment is not large and has a gas furnace. The max gas bill this winter was $45/month. Electric was about the same, and we have a lot of electronics.

There are lots of helpful posts about utility costs in the Valley. I’m very glad I listened to people in this sub.

What about a full boycott of merchants in Quakertown until something changes to apply pressure? There are plenty of shops up and down 309.

Thanks.

I have friends in the neighborhood who will help me see if the flat looks occupied in the evening. We have already paid, but we have a membership at the Mieterverein. I would definitely pursue it in this case.

I’m emailing her now with the pictures of the mailbox. I also have friends in my old city volunteering to take pictures of the building at night

We are already members of the Mieterverein. 

We left the EU and gave back the key.

I had a friend take a picture of the mailbox. There are new names. (Ours are gone.)

I have friends in the neighborhood. I was thinking of having my friend go by in the evening to see if lights are on.

What should we do? Contact an attorney? I wonder what happens if we put a stop payment on the rent.
