Apartment Inspections - confusing memos!

@garymarsh6 The famous GIGO rule, "garbage in garbage out".

It is the fault of whoever put the information into the computer in the first place Anna then they blame it on the computer!

I blame management. Their phone must be ringing off the hook because of this! lol

@CRK109 I am sure you will pass with flying colors!

They go into every room (there are only three, really, counting the bathroom), but it's not a problem. The kitchen got a good cleaning yesterday. I did the bathroom today and vacuumed the bedroom carpet, as well. The only real clutter is in boxes that aren't in anyone's way. They make sure closet doors don't stick. They check our emergency pulls. Last time they came my smoke alarm wasn't working, so they took care of that. I've had all the lightbulbs in my apartment replaced. So it's more than just checking my cleaning. I feel good when they've finished because I know I'm in good shape!

There are definite plusses and minuses to each one. I didn't think I'd have any privacy in an apartment, but I really do have a lot of privacy here. The inspections are a good thing for everyone so that the building is always in good repair and clean. It can be a nuisance if I'm just not feeling up to cleaning when I know they're coming. But it's a great feeling after they've left and I know I've done a good job for myself and the other tenants.

Thank you! I don't expect any problems.

They seem to like surprising us as soon as they can. I'm sure there are some people here who aren't as clean as they could be. This is why I prefer doing a little cleaning every day!

@CRK109 I hate cleaning. I'd need some warning

quite frankly, I'm surprised they don't just surprise us with a knock on the door whenever they feel like it! For anyone who cleans at all on a regular basis, even two days' notice is okay. For the tenants who don't clean much at all....well, I'm just not sure how they handle it.

They just want to keep everyone safe and healthy. If a tenant doesn't clean, it could allow bugs to come and that would be horrible! So I read their notices and I clean the best I can!

I do! I remember my last inspection when they could barely move around my bedroom because of all the boxes. Now the boxes are gone, things are organized we're squeaky clean! I'm ready for tomorrow!

I wonder how many phone calls they got over these! lol

@CRK109 I am sure they do not even need to worry if you are a tenant.

No one has to take time off work. As long as they give us notice, they can come into our apartments to inspect even if we're not here. I was not home the first time they inspected, but I've managed to be here for all the others. It's pretty quick.

I can't tell by the wording of the memos but I'm sure I'll find out soon!

I'm definitely prepared for tomorrow. And then I will ask them about the next inspection, just to be sure.
