So getting this trip together finally has been a relief. But now it seems like everyone we have to deal with is trying to screw us over! First of all, our apartment manager. Almost a year ago, trying to move into our current apartment, it was a nightmare just trying to move it. They took three weeks to process our application. They wouldn't give us the contact information of the owners of the complex and they NEVER called us back. THEN the morning we were moving in, they called us two hours before people were coming over to help us move and said that the apartment we wanted wasn't going to be available for another week. Um... REALLY? Oh and after we started freaking out they mentioned that there were two other apartments available... they couldn't say that first? During the time we've lived here they've lost a rent check, told us they'd fix things and haven't. Now, almost three weeks ago we talked to them about possibly keeping our things in the apartment rent free while we are in Germany and we'll sign another year lease when we get back (there are FOUR empty apartments the the complex... we'll be the fifth). So every time my husband talks to the apartment manager she says things like, "I just called the owners" and "I just emailed the owners" but still hasn't gotten a response... how is that possible.. for THREE WEEKS?!? So we have only a month left to find someone to take over our lease and we just found out yesterday that we can only be rent free for one month but will have to pay for June and July... which is something we CANNOT afford. Now we have a month to find someone to take over our lease.
Now onto the drama with the Germany apartment. I guess the companys that lease furnished apartments in Germany charge commission to the tenants. No one told us! So we sign a contract (this wasn't in the contract) and then they send us a bill for 556 euros. Thats a little over $750.... an extra months rent. I just LOVE that people tell us these things! URGH!!!!!! SO if we don't find someone to take over our current lease for June, we'll be paying an extra months worth of rent for two places we wont even be living in. Nice.
So on top of those things within a year, we've had four tired stolen from our back porch, gotten screwed over on a car we bought from a friend (we spend $2000 fixing a car we JUST bought from a friend and they refused to pay us anything back or give us the name of the mechanic who broke our A/C and didn't fix an obviously broken fan so our far was over heating everytime we drove it).
And now that I wont be getting paid at all this summer, I have a HUGE maternity deducable to pay for when the baby gets here and all this mess with two apartments.
People just make me furious sometimes. It makes me not want to trust ANYONE anymore! It feels like they are just out to screw us over. And there's nothing we can do.
