The Pleasure of Rentals.

Oh, also: Subleasing an apartment in Mt. Pleasant is a pain in the ass. The apartment scene operates like no where else — I swear. It should be simple like this:

  • I find a person to take over my lease.
  • We sign some sort of document with the landlord.
  • He pays the landlord, or in this case, I pay the landlord what’s owed on the lease, and he pays me because I’m giving him a deal for helping me out.
  • Conflict resolved.
Instead, it was like this:
  • I find a person to take over my lease.
  • We make an appointment to sign some sort of document with the landlord.
  • There are a lot of documents to sign: Several for me, several for him, even some for his parents, and one for my roommates even though I’ve already paid off the lease.
  • Oh! Hidden fees!
  • Split them down the middle?
  • Okay.
  • Pain in the ass has become even more annoying.
  • Conflict resolved.
Ugh!
