Signing a lease is stressful. Maybe you\u2019re anxious to get settled in, or you want to close it before someone else puts in a stronger application. Regardless of your situation, rushing the lease signing process could be a costly mistake. We all know not to judge a book by its cover. It\u2019s crucial to get the inside scoop on your building and landlord before signing the dotted line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At openigloo, we\u2019ve received thousands of reviews from New Yorkers who are sharing their experiences about renting in their buildings. Some expressed regret about getting reeled in by an apartment’s new renovation only to learn the landlord was a tad overbearing: \u201cIf you move into this apartment be aware of how utterly inappropriate and unprofessional the landlord is. And you may think to yourself that you really love this apartment and that it will be fine and that you\u2019ll just avoid them at all costs. But you can’t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another renter was disappointed to learn that their building was the constant target of package theft only after they moved in: \u201cDon’t be fooled by the security cameras, as they do not work. Sadly, me and my partner only learned of this after we had some packages stolen. When we reached out to management, they indicated that the cameras had not worked in some time. I guess the criminals are aware of this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
