Plenty of scams happen here with these apartment rental based on online showings.Why? We know the place where we want to live and we will have an online live view of it so I know the state of the apartments and the whole neighbourhood

I totally agree with other forum members, it is not a wise idea to sign a lease before seeing the place ,there is a lot of scams going around here.Why? We know the place where we want to live and we will have an online live view of it so I know the state of the apartments and the whole neighbourhood
One more thing never rent apartments/basements from certain people(I am sure you understoodwhat I meant ,I have mentionedin my post several times), if you are renting single family homes, make sure you do your research thoroughly and meet the owner before you sign the lease,make sure you discusseverythinglike laundry, cutting grass,ploughing snow, maintenence,utilities,privacy (you might think this are basic things, trust me there is where they take advantage of you)etc, certain things you can't tolerate it ,you are moving to a new country you don't want to put yourself through that hassle .I heard certain people are so stinchy they will make your stay living hell.Many landlords I mentioned are just cheap and they will be extra nice to you when they meet you first but there is a lot of traps behind that smile.
Choosing a home is similar to Choosing friends believe me you don't want to make a bad choice on that.I am not exaggerating, I am telling the plain truth.
Notwithstanding scams, you should know that it's very easy to use varying focal lengths to make apartment features look bigger/smaller. They can add filters on top of that with attractive colour schemes. You wouldn't get a proper feel for the place unless you actually view it.Why?

Plus, you wouldn't know what the neighbourhood is like right now ... Whether there is construction going on, traffic noise, homeless people noise, etc.
I agree, make sure to meet the landlord in person or virtually. Also, I recommend getting a realtor, they charge no fee and will walk you through the entire rental process and prepare all the paperwork when submitting an offer.
That is the same in TX ,in Houston the apt manager calls the HR to ask whether you work there and ask for 3 months of paystubs and previous references and credit history.
Once went to see an apartment that was completely different from the pictures and virtual tour.
In the pictures/tour it has a balcony and in reality it did not lol. When i confronted the rep from the property management co., she just said those are just renders from their marketing department....
Do not sign a lease unless you see it in person. The ones advertised online many times are heavily photoshopped.
It's been 5 days since I got my bike. Someone tried to steal the dynamo lights and the bell today... but couldn't as they were bolted in several places. So, he ended up stealing just the power cables for the light and just the ringer for the bell. What do you do with just the ringer? How do you even sell it for drugs?
He likely stole it out of frustration and wanted to cause you some level of inconvenience. Such kind of thefts have virtually no consequences and hence too common. In Chicago bike theft was one of the most common crimes. Many of my friends had their bikes stolen and police just gave them a slip that they could use to get reimbursement from insurance.
It seems that they're busy with CUAET applications.
Between 5 July and 20 July, the number of applications approved increased from 151,353 to 263,753 or 7,493/ day. The jump was so large I thought they had made a typo, but the latest update shows otherwise. The number of applications approved has been <1000/ day since June.
The rate slowed from that breakneck pace between 20 July and 27 July to 1,798/ day. I suppose that's why we've seen the return of PPR issuances. Just a trickle though.

Spiritual Mikan is a sensible person.
Edith Freson, jury still out.
Ellie is ignorant and a a sore loser. They also think their feelings matter, which is hilarious.
Shuja is desperate, and lets be honest, kinda lame. Don't be like Shuja.
There, summed up those tweets for you.
