I’ve posted here before so if you want the low down you can view it on my page.
I work for a landlord. Originally the job was described as office assistant but somehow I’m managing properties? They never stated that in the interview. They were very withholding of a lot of information that would’ve determined if I took this job.
Today I’m working with a man who started leasing an apartment from us this past June. His rent was originally $950 a month for 2 bed 1 bath. He told my boss he’d be out this November months ago. My boss is refusing to edit the lease and I can’t until he gives me permission. The lease ends May 31st of next year.
My boss told him if he can find a tenant to live there he could let him out of it. The guy found someone only to find out my boss has now jacked the rent to $1800/month with first months and security deposit of $1000 down. This man has no choice but to keep paying his $950 for the next 6 months and also this months which is now overdue so that will be an extra $50 fee. I tried talking it over with my boss but he said empty apartments are just a cost for us. Meanwhile I’m pretty sure this man’s company makes millions a year.
I’ve been here almost a full week. This place is miserable. I’m doing way more than I was originally signed up for and for $17/hr. Just venting and making sure I have it to reference if I’m ever in a spot to bring this place down.
