    I feel like the most alarming thing about dirty apartments is that usually it means that it's not well maintained by the landlord, one of my friends rented a place that was really gross when she moved in, and while it was annoying to clean (and she ended up calling an ayi to help), the worst part was she ended up finding out that the gas wasn't functioning well, the AC broke in the middle of the summer, and the landlord kept showing up with people to tour the apartment (like way before they moved out). Good on you for avoiding those places. Also that scamming story is CRAZYYY, I've always heard that you have to be careful of scammers but I always wondered what they actually do to scam people.

    I just have a few questions, why don’t much of these places have a small stove/cooker to make food? And what kind of jobs can you work to keep up with rent?
    Anyway, leaving a like, thanks for the vid!❤

    • @Iswa.t
      @Iswa.t  4 місяці тому +1

      Hello, aside from getting scammed I think seeing the house in person is just better so you can see the pros and cons in person. You can pre download the app I used in this video and try to find some options before hand before you land. Then contact the agents and book appointments in advance so it will be easier for you. And most places actually have gas cooker, it depends on the city, the district and the houses you choose
