Fabulous Apartment---won't last!

Since searching for a nice apartment is a daunting task, you would think building managers and real estate agents who list the properties would take care in posting apartments for rent/sale. Here are some tips for you owners, property managers, real estate agents and roommates posting properties for rent/sale:

If I click on your ad to see pictures of the place, but instead find one of a balding real estate agent, i immediately close it without reading.

Why are you posting pictures of the toilet? With the seat up I may add...

Don't say "railroad apartment" like its a good thing.

Ground floor? Yeah...most people don't want to live on the ground floor because there is less heat, more noise, easier break ins.

A seperate entrance is nice..except when its in your garage. Umm..how am I supposed to get pizza deliveries??

I read a posting for some idiot looking for a share, 1,000 p/month..but it was a clothing free house. So I am supposed to dish out 1,000 for a share and also shed my clothes at the door?

A shared apartment is different than renting a room. Don't advertise a shared apartment but say there is no kitchen/living room access.

A balcony is someplace you can put a small table and chairs and hang out. A balcony is NOT a tiny space out the window where you can stand and not be able to move.

A great apartment over an Indian restaurant is NOT a great apartment. Unless you'd like to pay for the privledge of your clothes smelling like curry and rats running around while you sleep.

Oh an apartment that includes heat-FREE!! Duh--we normally do not pay for heat in NYC buddy.

A pre-war building translates to OLD and in need of repair. Shit will break down at least once a year.

If you say section 8 welcome, what about the rest of us?>why are you even advertising to the rest of us?

No smoking in the apartment is bullshit. As are no dogs---a pit bull, sure I get it. But what harm will a 5 lb. chihuahua do?

No cats allowed? Do you have mice in this building?

Border of Rego Park??!!! Only not near to anything at all!! In the ghetto!!!

If you list a place as totally renovated..renovated does NOT mean a fresh coat of paint and leaky faucets. It means a stainless steel kitchen , new tiles, granite counter tops and everything in new working condition.

Everyone wants to live in Manhattan and you can charge exorbitant prices. But an apartment rental for Saturday and Sundays only? where am i living Monday-Friday?

Close to transportation is good. Close to a local bus or 2-fare zone is NOT good.

2 Bedrooms for 1,000 a month? Oh you have studio, one, two and three bedrooms starting from 1,000. Not cool.

It is really frustrating when I see an apartment I actually like and then see a disclaimer below *photos may not be actual representation of apartment for rent. why not???????

A great apartment with pool access would have an actual pool on the rooftop, not be a Russian bath house on the ground floor. *shudders*

Quaint should not be used to describe anything livable.

I don't call it an ocean view when I've got to lean my neck 10 feet out the widow to see a flash of blue on the right from the corner of my eye.

No parking space but easy street parking? Yeah, in NYC there is no such thing as easy street parking. Except if by easy you mean driving around in circles for half an hour and then finally parking 10 blocks away.

And this place won't last long? Then why has it been on craigslist and trulia for more than 2 years?
