What To Do? Landlord Not Paying Utilities
I would guess that the reason the OP for the 800K apt. removed the posts is likely because forum comments were damaging the sale prospects at that price. Of course, that price was ridiculous for that apartment but …
I would gladly pay $3,000 to live in PLG.
3:25, 3:41, 3:48 = person who posted about the 800K apt for sale and 3000 a month plg rental who deleted both posts on the forum.
i’m a minister.
and lord 3:44 you scare me that your mind even works like that…either you are a nasty cynical lawyer or an unemployed ex convict scam artist who could actually take the time to think like this.
If you don’t like what’s being said about a post you make to the forum, a normal person would do one of two things:
1. Not respond to the negative posts
2. Already know that a “i have a 3000 a month rental in plg, even though that’s 1000 dollars more than every other rental…what’s wrong with mine” post will draw criticism.
If not, then you’re not very familiar with brownstoner.
Certainly the “normal” response would not be to completely delete the posting from the forum.
So Dick Cheney…I mean 3:41…it wouldn’t be possible for a disgruntled neighbor, broker, friend, ex-wife to pluck out a craigslist and/or nytimes ad and post the link to brownstoner and draw attention to ANOTHER person’s property or listing??
Lord you are starting to scare me with your naivety.
I know for a fact the ad wasn’t a fake. helllllooo, the OP included the ad links and was only asking for pricing suggestions… and i am far from being naive. the only time wasted was by the original poster who was reaching out for pricing suggestions (broker or not, they obviously were seeking suggestions..) but instead had to read the rantings of those cynical, boring, rude posters who instead of offering constructive criticism had to be nasty and vengeful. I, for one, don’t blame them for taking their ads down so they don’t have to feel like people are stabbing them in the back) and certainly don’t think they were bogus to begin with.
I have an apartment that hasn’t rented for six months. I am asking $5,000 but I think that is fair considering what I paid for the house. I think the rent is market rate, but the tenants are all racist and the realtors are all lazy so it hasn’t rented. What should I do? (Except lower the rent?)
