So it's not enough that we have a mold problem. No, the toilet is also clogged. What idiot made the water path in the shape of an S, anyway? A simple U-trap would do nicely, and be susceptible to unclogging with a clothes hanger.

Our garbage disposal is making very angry noises at us, the silverfish, spiders, and mosquito hawks have decided it's time to emerge, and our keys jam in the door.
Worst of all? It's not a cheap apartment.

I think I prefer roaches. I mean, sure, it's pretty awful when you wake up and there's a roach crawling on your leg, but at least they don't eat books.

I just moved to my first nice apartment and man do I not miss the leaking faucets, fridge that would never stay closed, or the constant state of mold in the bathroom. I have been amazed at how fast things get fixed now. Heck, I can get a repair done thats not an emergency 24 hours a day. Its amazing. Now if I could just have my old rent back Posts: 416 | Registered: May 2005

I am deathly afraid of the dishwasher in my condo. It makes evil noises. I really, really want a new one; this one is like twenty-five years old.
But I own my place. So if I get a spiffy new dishwasher, it also ups the value of my property...just like having the fuse box replaced with circuit breakers and having hardwood put in the bedroom.

The mold is a serious thing. If the apartment manager isn't interested in doing anything about it, a quick call to your local inspections office could jerk a knot in his tail.

I am moving from a horrible cheap apartment in the 3rd worst ghetto in Houston to a cheap house right next to Midtown. Ah, so sweet, so sweet. The house was built in 1923, the stove was built not long after and the foundation is sinking into the ground. But the lease is up after a year, so I don't care.
Oh yeah, the support beams under the floor somehow broke (the landlord swears he doesn't know how) and the floor sinks in the middle.
Edit to add: I had a lady bug infestation once. It was the cutest damn infestation ever and I never did anything about it. Good times.
