Sad and Angry Too
So we were set to move to California, and we had put down a security deposit of $1100 on an apartment. A few days later we find out our cat has lung cancer, and we have no idea how long she has left, but we are told she can't travel cross country. We notify the apartments only a few days after they had received our deposit, letting them know we still want to move there but it may be a couple of months as a result of the situation with our cat. We are told the only way we won't lose our security deposit is if we immediately sign a lease, yet we don't know about our cat (and are still very upset and confused), so I tell them we can't commit to a lease yet. We are told that we lose our security deposit on the apartment, and there is nothing we can do about it. The apartment we so called "reserved" is not even available for move in yet, and we have not signed a lease yet, but there is some fine print on the application saying we would owe money as if we are on a lease. I tried to explain that we would move in later still if they would work with me now and return the deposit. The won't do it. How would you feel about that?
You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
Build it, make money, then build some more
Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
