I moved into my apartment today, and right when I moved in I was having second thoughts about choosing the apartments I did. I open the door and the first thing that gets me is that there’s carpet. The model apartment they showed me had wood flooring, and that was one of the things I really liked about the apartments. But no, I got carpet. And there’s a huge spot on the carpet, I have no clue what it is. I’ll just have to report it so they can’t pin it on me and cover it with furniture. Also when I went in there were a bunch of bugs on the carpet in the living room and on the kitchen floor. They were all dead, because there was a notice that an exterminator had come a couple weeks before to kill any bugs that were there, but they never bothered to clean them up. So we swept up the ones in the kitchen and will have to vacuum the ones in the living room up next time. None in the cupboards, I checked them, or in the drawers. And I didn’t see any living ones. And my apartment already has a security door installed, so that’s extra protection and when it’s cool I can open it and enjoy the nice weather. For right now I’ll just have to see how things go when I move in there next weekend for the school year. It might not be as bad an it initially seems.

That really sucks. Why couldn’t you visit the apartment in person first?

I visited the apartment complex a month ago when looking around and the one they showed me had wood flooring, so it would make sense to assume that the apartments had wood flooring, minus the bedroom. But I have a feeling they just have it in the models to make it look nicer, which if that is the case is a total piece of bull.

I think most apartments have carpeting or linoleum because hard wood floors are very easily ruined. Definitely make sure you point out the spot from them so they can’t take from your deposit (I’m assuming there was one). For what the apartment costs there should be no spots on the carpet and no dead bugs. Having to have an exterminator come beforehand is not a good sign. Once an apartment complex has bugs it is very hard to get rid of them because it spreads like wildfire. If your apartment has blinds you might want to consider taking them down and putting up curtains if your cats like to hang out in windows because they will get destroyed. My cat ruined the blinds at every apartment she was in and they charge you for it. I’ve lived in apartments my whole life (in over 20!) so if there’s anything you need to know I’m the person to ask.
