my stomach is churning.we found a place this weekend and put down a deposit and then late last night, TH found a blog called something like "horrible landlady.blogspot.com" and it was dedicated to the heinousity (?) of our new landlord!! arghh i feel so conflicted now and i don't know if we should scratch the whole thing or just take our chances.
the new apartment has almost all what we wanted, and i love the location, but geez, i am just sick about what to do now. is a good apartment ever worth a bad landlord?

Hi! I read your blog sometimes... also live in DC... and I felt the urge to jump in and say I wouldn't do it! I've had some AWFUL landlord experiences in DC - as in, health-hazard mold, bug infestations, flooding of the apartment (twice), no oven when we moved in though it was promised (and we never got one - cooked on hot plate burners for a year)... I could go on. A less-awesome apartment with an amazing landlord is worth a ton more in my book than a great apartment with a known bad landlord.
sooo what kind of horrible things does this lady do? i'm curious. i've had crappy landlords but in provo where BYU housing has at least a little control over them taking advantage of you. so i don't know what to tell you!! did you meet her in person? does she seem crazy? does she invite herself over for dinner? haha.
also, if it IS horriblelandlady.blogspot.com, is it the same woman? since that's an apt. in arlington? either way, bon chance.
yes!! thats her.
we backed out. didn't want to take the risk.
