Okay I just want some advice from lovely TPFers!
I just recently leased an apartment and they promised me that there was a wood burning fireplace in the apartment. They had showed me a model of the apartment and said it was exactly like the model.
Come in move in date.... It DOES NOT HAVE a fireplace..... No woodburning or electric or anything.... A company owns that apartment complex and a few others.
The leasing agent said that he cannot lower my rent, because that is non-negiotable, but because they were at fault they would let me move in to another apartment with a fireplace.... The problem is it won't be open till Dec 16!!!!! That means I have to live for one month in this apartment and then transfer electricity, insurance, and move all my furniture when that months comes. They aren't offering anything except that I can move into that apartment and not pay a cleaning fee for the apartment I'm moving out of.
Just curious if you guys think this is fair? Or should I keep bothering them to give me another option? Or ask them to pay the costs associated with moving my furniture? Or just give up?
Honestly I'm a 95lb and 5'1 girl... I cannot move a coach down three stairs and up another three stairs (both apartments are on the third floor) and move a bed and mattress........ I cannot ask my parents as they live three hours away and my Dad has an upcoming surgery in Dec for a torn arm ligment. I also don't have currently in my budget to hire someone to move all these things for me as well.
I'm currently lost.... and need of help!
Thanks!
(I don't mind if I have to hear the harsh reality. If I can't do anything then it would be great just to hear that so I know what action is the best. Thank you!)
