My former apartment landlord elected to paint the main stairwell a dark blue a week before our move and fix all scratches in the drywall from multiple years of moves (7 tenant building, 5 story walk up)

They deducted a crazy amount of security deposit for alleged scratches to wall / paint chips

Any chance that is objectionable? I doubt they knocked prior tenants for scratches to dry wall when the walls were white

Depends on what you mean by "crazy amount", but no, you are probably paying for previous tenants' wear and tear.

Let us know how they respond!

For those of you that are citizen / PR. Do you get tons of Singapore recruiters chasing you for roles which are way out of your focus area, getting interviews done only to be ghosted after? I had a few of these and decided to not entertain anymore. My general feeling is they use me to 1- get a salary benchmark, and 2- check the box to interview an “unqualified” local only to use it as justification to get an EP for a foreigner they were targeting to bring here in the first place.

Hi I was interviewed by Capgemini in December 2021 and surprisingly they called in February 2022 for second round.

1. When can i expect call from hr?
2. I was thinking it is not genuine as they did not had clarity for which they were interviewing me. However in both round people who interviewed had email id with domain of Capgemini.

Did it happened with anybody else?

Please guide.
Thanks

I’m looking to purchase a home. I have enough for 20% down and I qualify for a traditional mortgage but my dad suggested he lend me the full cash to make the sale that way I have more negotiating room and can close faster. Then once I close I can refinance it and keep 20% in the house and pay my dad back for the 20%. Is there a downside to this? Will it get messy?

As example, if paying $10k to repaint the house means I can charge $10k more then it doesn’t really seem worth the effort (nets out anyway)....

Looking at two identical condos, each 1900 sq ft, however one is a duplex up and the other is a straight condo. My preference is to go for the one that doesn’t have a split level as it means the space is (or appears) relatively larger. However, the duplex up is going for quite a bit more so was curious which would appraise better and which would be preferred by most buyers since I plan to sell the unit in 5-6 years?
