 - by sanford

I have been living in a studio for 6 months and have just renwed the contract for another year… i am constantly stuggling to organise things and decorate the place… as it is quite small and easy to move around the furniture i like to give it a new look every 3-4 months…

Apartment living, they say you have 60 days to give notice. Does it have to be exactly 60 days?

I’ve called them to see if there are other apts available for transfer and they keep telling me, well we have a couple of people on notice but they haven’t told us anything. So in the next couple of weeks they can change their mind. With that, I believe I have a right just like the others do.
so i notice i put this in the wrong section. :\
thanks for helping me out!

What are the benefits of apartment living over home ownership?

 - by sanford

In houses you are throwing money at insurance, taxes, and interest. Not to mention all of the things you need to make a home work. In apartments you are not responsible for anything that breaks and you can leave if your area gets bad. So what are the benefits of homeownership? Most people pay more in mortgage interest than others pay for rent so I do not nee the benefit. I know you get tax write offs, but if you could close the monetary flood gates to the mortgage company, utilities (always higher in homes), city/county/local robbers….taxation representatives I mean, then you would not require the tax break.

How can I rent an apartment from someone living abroad?

 - by sanford

I want to rent an apartment in downtown LA owned by a guy who lives in London. He is living there for the next 5 years (for business purposes) and wasn’t planning on renting his apartment, but has decided to do so after the fact. He is going to overnight me the keys so I can see the apartment before I agree to anything.

I basically need to make sure it’s all legit and don’t know how to go about doing so. Any ideas?
