and the people who live there now are moving out the day before I move in. my move in time is 10:45am on the first and the management has to paint and recarpet before that time. what can I do if this isnt all done when I move in. (they basically have over night to do it depending on what time the current tenants move out). There are guest suites in the building I am moving to, can I stay in that if it smells like paint when I move in? what about rent?

If the property is not ready on the move-in date you have several options. You can break the lease and get a refund of all deposits and advance rents paid. You can bill the landlord for your out-of-pocket expenses while the property is made ready -- hotels, storage, extra meal costs, etc.

You don't owe any rent until you actually take posession of the unit. And you should not take posession until it is ready to move in to.

Since the complex has guest suites, they could allow you to stay there (without charge) while your unit is made ready. That would solve a number of problems quickly and easily.

Paint odor in a newly reconditioned apartment is normal. Any delay in move-in of more than a day or so would be unresonable except in unusual circumstances. Modern paints don't give off heavy fumes for very long; recently enacted rules have reduced this problem significantly.

Talk to the landlord or property manager. They really do have an interest in keeping good tenants happy and may well be open to reasonable accomodations if there are any delays.

All of that said, you'd be surprised how quickly a crack crew can carpet and paint a unit! 24 hours is very do-able, especially if it's not too large.

The old carpet is the drop cloth for the paint job. About 2 hours to mask everything else off and another 2 to paint with high-volume spray gear. Another hour to dry and pull up the masking material.

A good carpet crew can do their thing in just a few hours. They're probably on contract to the complex and already have all of the room sizes in a database. They can pre-cut most of it in advance and whip through the job very quickly.

If you have a lease that says you can move in on the first and the carpet and paint should be changed, the management should honor that and either put you in a motel or another accomation or reimburse your money on a pro rated scale for the days you weren't able to move in. If this is a small apartment in a complex however it does not take very long to do these things and the move in time of 1045 is probably managements way of giving themselves enough time to finish.

I don't know about the guest suites, but don't expect to get in there on time. I don't know anyone who has ever moved out on time (I'm from Minnesota). And as far as painting and recarpeting goes, I don't know. People seem to be lazy and frustrating! So just expect to be late getting in there.

actuality is often maximum suitable. I do comprehend the variety you experience. attempt telling you dad that your experience your mom needs you. As a parent i will inform you that your mom misses you alot and needs you. tell him which you're feeling to blame for leaving her. in case your mom is single, tell your dad which you concern approximately her being on my own. tell him which you truly choose your mom and you experience cut back off from her in a manner which you probably did no longer experience approximately him considering the fact which you knew that he ought to handle any concern as a guy. tell him as difficult as you have tried you do no longer slot in as you probably did in Texas.That the persons are to distinctive so which you will appreciate them and that they do no longer comprehend you.(i'm a Texan and no the place is all of us like Texas people) tell him the winters are to long and you like the long Texas summers and short gentle winters. Be honest and checklist what you permit out and checklist what you have won by making use of shifting there. Your miss checklist would be longer. basically communicate over with him guy to guy. be particular that he's primary with of you adore him and be particular mom enable you to change your suggestions.
