Landing this place was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I looked at a few apartments in big buildings, but they didn’t feel right. I wanted to find something more distinctive in a smaller building and began looking for condos to rent. I almost overlooked the listing for this unit. The photos were unflattering—the furniture was set up poorly and was not to my taste—but I could see the potential. Also, the price was right. So right, that the site I was using to search popped up a notification saying the listing could be a scam. I was a little hesitant to contact the agent but thought “Meh, I won’t wire anyone any money.”
I set up a viewing and put in an application, still worried it could be a scam. But when I got a call from the agent telling me I didn’t get the place, I was gutted. I had already planned the layout in my head and fantasized about all the furniture I would buy. (I landed here via the West Coast and brought nothing with me so I was excited to start from scratch.) A few days later, I got another call from the agent telling me the original applicant dropped out and the place was mine!
