Good luck. Think about what incentive(s) that you can offer to be competitive over nearby rentals.

so i'm sitting here in my room with all my furniture and my stuff still in boxes etc. the house is dirty, smells bad and half the lights aren't working. it's freezing and i can't find a way to turn the heat on. i'd like to just get in my car and never come back to this place...

i learned from this huge, big mistake... never sign a lease for a place you have never seen in person.

i just hope i can talk to the landlord tomorrow and get out of the lease asap

are you sure you are not in pennsylvania?

i just moved here from siesta key and i am experiencing the same thing----get ready for rudeness,bad driving,and poor customer service

My landlord apologized for the state the kitchen etc is in and bought all kinds of cleaning supplies, he tore apart half the kitchen and I helped him clean up. We had a good talk

Thanks to all of you for your kind words!

Sounds like you have a great landlord -- that's half the battle when you've been plopped into an "interesting" new life.

Hope things are getting better for you! Keep us updated!

Glad to hear things got a little better for you.

If it is a good, safe area to live I would stay. Your landlord is taking responsibility and pretty much anything can be cleaned or fixed. For me safety comes first!
