A bit of a hassle

This time last year I had the perfect apartment and the perfect roommates.

At the beginning of the year we left our apartment because 5 people in a 2 bedroom was just too much. We got this house... 3 bedroom, 2.75 bath, 1350sf, washer/dryer, 2 car garage, balcony, back yard... the 5 of us fit pretty nicely. We're now breaking our lease... (Leaving details out to prevent bashing one of the members).

We have had the most difficult time communicating with our management company. Figuring that they'd drag their ass on the advertising of the place I posted the place on craigslist. I have since posted an add every day. I finally heard back from Mike, our contact guy and he said that as of recent, they're not advertising if we're still occupying the place, for liability reasons. So now, we have to pay $500 to break the lease, keep up with rent 'til it rents out and find someone to rent the place. Sounds to me like we're pretty much doing their job...

Property management companies are a pain in my arse (not to mention any names... &%^#*)

I miss my old apartment maybe a little too much. I sort of wish I had taken one of the alternate paths...
