Reply to comment by CCIRMAJOR26 in My “luxury” apartment buildings trash compactor is next to our apartment, wakes me up all hours of the night, and the building refuses to do anything. What should I do? by CCIRMAJOR26

Leasing an apt sight unseen is always a red flag for me. Usually the current tenant can consent to a tour. If not, I either need to see it they day after they move out or find another apartment. Too many risky variables like noise, views, light, etc.

That's how it worked with my last move. It was during the pandemic, so no one involved wanted me touring a stranger's apartment. I knew the layout (I already lived in the building) and was going to move in tour or not. But the apartment manager gave me the keys when the apartment was ready so I could tour it on my own. He gave me the lease to sign after I saw it.

I just don’t consider those apartments. Most allow for viewings in my experience. It’s unreasonable to expect me to live somewhere for a year without seeing it.
