So, I just recently moved into a duplex and I'm not exactly happy with it. We were sort of rush into moving due to multiple reasons (such as, for much of the year I thought I might be moving to another state for this or that reason and didn't want to sign a lease anywhere, but we needed the space, but I really didn't want to go through the trouble of moving, but a second baby's coming any day now and it'd be more difficult with two kids and we really need more space, etc.).

We were looking at a place that was nicer, but unfortunately the owner didn't like cats and I like my cat, so we didn't move there. Then my wife found the one I'm currently in and we looked at it and, as I implied in the my parentheses above, it was now or never, so we signed a lease and whatnot without doing as much research as we should have.

Unfortunately, that plan backfired and we discovered multiple maintenance issues the day we moved in. So far, property management has been pretty loathe to even acknowledge that I have issues here, so yay for last minute moves. A quick internet search that of course I didn't go before signing a year long financial and legal obligation revealed this is kind of their MO. I have researched some options in case the fit hits the shan, but things haven't gotten that serious.

So, yeah...
