People from bad homes Don't have time to look things over
And now it's time to play "WTF??"
For the last 5 years, Karen and I have faithfully renewed our lease here 12 months at a time. While we've been here the place has slowly gone to crap. It was a nice quiet neighborhood, far less ghetto than our last one, and pretty to boot. Away from the street but right next to the bus line, quite nice. Slowly it has been getting noisier, more ghetto, and in general falling apart. The water lines have *always* been fucked, and lately whenever we have an issue with the apartment it takes at least two weeks of bumbling to even pretend to get it fixed. Even when it's an issue with the air conditioner... in ARIZONA. The apartment complex has also gone through several owners in the last year alone.
In any case, we've been saving up to get the hell out of Phoenix and follow the Oregon trail, as many of you already know.
Today we get a notice on our door. Yes, the rent has gone up. It did last year too, so this doesn't surprise us though it does indeed suck that the cost of living continues to rise while what people are getting paid... doesn't. Lovely.
But... they have also decided that now we are responsible for paying water and sewage out of the blue, and we have 2 weeks to renew our lease under these conditions or basically get fucked with fees left and right. So... WTF? It would cost us ALL our savings to move, and we wouldn't be able to get out of Phoenix either... and we have no idea how much water and sewage is going to tack onto what we're already paying... but we have a feeling that we are getting seriously seriously shafted... with a change that dramatic, they should give us at LEAST 6 months to figure out what the hell to do, fuck 2 weeks!
I seriously feel sick to my stomach right now... this isn't right, this isn't right at all... What a crappy week... and we have a LOT of shit... a lot of it books, moving isn't an easy prospect at all... I don't want to move again till we're ready to get OUT for real... If we have to move, and this is what the "nice" apartments have turned into, and all our savings gone... oh god... feel very sick... not right...
Very nice of them to dump this on us this weekend too instead of, oh, MONTHS ago. Karen took a couple days off this week for our anniversary, and now we're both pissed off, stressed, and depressed. Thanks a lot, Apartment Complex. Thanks a whole fucking lot.
