I just got a new job and I was desperate to find a place as so I was stupid and signed a lease sight unseen trusting that it would be well taken care of since it was through a management company. I got here this weekend only to find that it’s a complete mess with bugs, stains and ripped drywall all over, bleach all over the carpets and dirt etc. The company said they’re working on fixing it but keep just passing me off. Would you break the lease or give the a chance to fix things?

Speaking of being rash, you’re going to get a rash from that place. Break and move on. Lots of nicer places out there. Don’t settle for gross. 😷

Yeah just break it. If you want to be official about it get a lawyer to write them a letter saying why you’re breaking it as they didn’t adhere to their end of the contract

Management companies are generally bad but worth paying more for a place that comes with a reputable one. I would break the lease and just get your move over with and settled in faster, so you can start your job off on the right foot

If you’re looking to rent on the north side I rent through Andco and have had few issues, the buildings are very well-kept… and Hayes has great properties and I’ve heard good things… viewed a couple of them before landing on this one.

Good luck!

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
