[QUOTE="eclectic, post: 15333, member: 266"]Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone. :) Well, I decided to not rent the apartment. After sleeping on it, and rereading the terms of the 4-page lease, I decided I'd be paying rent in exchange for indentured servitude. Call me old-fashioned, or just plain old, but I'm of the era, when a lease, if there even was one, was one page. I lived in my last rental for over 5 years. Never had a lease, and my landlord said I was the best tenant he ever had, so I bristle at being told what I can and cannot do. Oh, well, moving on. I'll look for a few more days around here, but if this experience is the norm, I'll be going elsewhere, in hopes of finding something.....somewhere. I've always been a risk taker, and it's always worked out, but this time, it's not going so well. I can hang my hat anywhere, so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to tell me. On another note, there was a heck of a storm in Bartlesville last night. Winds up to 70 mph. Trees all over the ground this morning. Most lost their electricity, including the hotel where I'm staying. I drove around this morning, and saw shingles and entire roofs blown off. "Wendy's" sign was still standing, but the sign is mostly gone. Still some areas without power.[/QUOTE]
