I once found a very nice apartment. When I was waiting to sign the contract, I discovered that there was a door that looked like a wall panel leading to the neighboring apartment, where the owner lived. He had the key and could come in at any time, and he told me so. In my face! I got out as fast as possible. © Pa Su / Facebook
We rented an apartment and the owners lived next door. They had a camera at the entrance and they were aware of when we were leaving or arriving. And when someone visited us, the owners always asked who that person was and why they had come, and they also entered without asking permission. © Abby Zavala / Facebook
I rented a studio apartment with my partner but we were almost never at home because of work and I only came home to bathe and sleep. The owner always came to charge us for the utilities and showed us the bills, but it seemed to us that we were paying a lot for water and electricity when we had no refrigerator, washing machine, or TV. Until the sixth month, my partner realized that on the bill it said the address of the main residence, where the owner lived. We were paying for the services of her house, which was 10 blocks away. © Anthonietta Dávila / Facebook
When I went to live alone in another state, they told me to go to a kind of pension, so I went to check it out. It was only for women and they charged $150 dollars for rent (this was about 18 years ago). It was a super small room with a cot, the shower was a tube, and you could only take a shower for 5 minutes. You couldn’t cook or bring food, and at 10 o’clock at night, the doors were locked. Also, for an extra fee, the owner gave you food and breakfast, and the shower was blocked by the toilet bowl. By the way, there were about 10 small rooms, I thanked her and she said, “Look, this is your chance, I have many people that are interested, but I am giving you priority.” I said, “Thank you, ma’am, I still don’t want to live in jail, let alone pay for that.” © Alejandra Gilibert / Facebook
