So, I'm thinking of talking to my boyfriend about moving. Our lease isn't up until the summer, I think, but I think it'd be good to start thinking about places now. I had this typed out as a big paragraph but it's a bit easier to read if I do points.
Bad things:
-Our fridge has broken twice in the past few months, and is currently making a lot of noise, so I'm pretty sure it's going to die again. Our landlord is supposed to provide us with a fridge, according to our lease, so when it died, and took $300 worth of groceries with it, and then the fact that we didn't get a new one for weeks(Plus my boyfriend had to take days off, and leave work earlier, because the guy who does all that stuff for our apartment[anyone remember the blinds story?] refused to try to work with our schedule as well, and then, he'd set a time to be here, and then not show up!), we tired to get reimbursed for at least some of the groceries(We were asking for $200 off rent the next month), and the guy refused.
-Then this new neighbor moved in upstairs and he is very very very loud. I can stand in the street outside our house, and hear exactly what he is listening to, as if I am listening to it on the radio. He stomps around all the time, and runs back and forth in his apartment, stomping, at 1am. The apartment has this constant pulsing beat because of him listening to music too loudly nonstop. I think it may have something to do with my headaches.
-In late November, the light in the front entrance, and the one in the back entrance, died. They were not replaced until just a few weeks ago. This is seriously hazardous. It's been snowy/rainy out, and when you come home at night, and have to walk up some stairs to get in your apartment, with wet feet and no light, you could seriously get hurt!
-The whole blinds ordeal.
read here-This is kinda bitchy and pedant-y and not horrible, but they didn't salt or shovel the snow from the walk up to the building. I know some places do this, and some don't, but we were the only building on the street like this.
-The neighbors on this street are kind of douchebags. On Christmas day, at around 10pm, we finally got home. There was no where to park in front of our building, so we parked further up and across the street. The next day, we stayed inside until roughly the same time(10pm), at which point we decide to get a few groceries. When we arrive to our car there is a note on it saying how rude we were to park in front of someone's house for three days, and that were are such jerks and all this other bullshit. wtf. We were barely parked there for one day, and maybe, just maybe, if they didn't have all these people over, we'd be able to park our car in front of our building.
Good stuff:
-uh....Our next door neighbors are nice.
-He still hasn't said anything about collecting a pet deposit for Cerberus. Which I am not really sure if this is something I can count as a positive. If he can't even be assed enough to do something that will purely benefit himself, than what is he going to do to help us?
-I like living in the Tower Grove area. I like living near my old art school, and the Botanical Gardens, and south Grand. I like this area.
Ugh. What to do. This is frustrating.
