Manager? Not so much

While I was able to secure lodging for the next year, the manager is a bit of a misnomer. First, she didn't know the right gas company to call. Then, today, she didn't even have the time to meet to hand over the keys and do a walk through until 5:30 (for which I had to pay a full days rent), and she was late to that. We didn't even do a walk through. She gave me a paper and said to write everything that needed fixed down, and drop it at the office within 5 days. She almost left without giving me the second key, and the garage door opener (I had to remind her). She hadn't really inspected the home beforehand, as there were 3, yes 3, containers of used motor oil in the garage, and excess paint cans in different rooms.

I am sure my problems list will be quite full when I turn it into the office, but what really gets my goat is that she didn't know I had to sign up separately for trash services, nor that there weren't any trash cans on site. I now have to wait, likely, a week just to get bins to put my trash and recyclables into.

Not that the lease stating I needed to clean the gutters myself was outrageous, but the fact that I couldn't see an inch of guttering without a plant growing out of it, and full of dirt was.

I do not foresee this being a long lasting rental, but she did assure me that they have a whopping 500 properties, and she's been there since they had only 100.
