Lost in the sauce

By Anonymous - 06/11/2010 23:56 - United States

Today, I spent 6 hours unloading boxes into my new apartment. After unloading the entire truck and making trips up and down two flights of stairs, I heard a knock on the door. Apparently the landlord gave me the key to the WRONG apartment. Mine is downstairs. FML

Well that's pretty careless, but if he doesn't do whatever he can to help, then he's a dick too. And careless dicks often end up with diseases.

Yeah but the tenant should know what apartment they looked at and what number they're supposed to be.

The OP should've definitely known which apartment was theirs as they should've toured it before renting and not done a blind rental.

In very large apartment complexes, landlords often show only a model apartment. Hence a person does not necessarily see the exact apartment he/she is going to get unless they arrange it with the previous tenant. In the University town I live in, all leases end in August and new leases start around that time too. Hence, it is not possible for landlords to show every single potential apartment that is being vacated and the tenant can get, and hence show only the model apartments. Also, not all tenants would be comfortable with landlords showing their apartment to future potential tenants. Showing apartments before a person vacated can also lead to legal cases for encroaching into private property.

how the **** do you not know what apartment was yours? apartments have numbers......so say you rented apartment #4, but the key worked for apartment #9 and you just decided "oh i must be moving here" OP, how about you go play in traffic

the bright side: at least you have to carry everything down one flight of stairs. imagine if your apartment was really on the 6th floor or something.. your situation isn't that bad op.

I agree with goldhighways. If you've signed the lease, which, presumably, would have your apartment number in it, then you should be able to tell which apartment is yours just by looking at the numbers on the door. I'd say that it's your fault, OP, just as much as the landlord's.
