I fuucking said I'm worried about my girlfriend's saftey. I ****ing grew up in around ghettos so I really wouldn't give a shiit if it was just me. Obviously you guys don't give a shiit about your any of your girlfriends' safety which says what kind of men you are.
Dude, just get out of there. Seriously. Take the hit on your renter's history if you have to and just straight up bail.
Unfortunately with that post you will probably soon be banned. Hopefully you got all the input you needed to make the right decision!
WTF? You are they guy compromising safety for a few hundred bucks. Everyone has told you what to do, are you aren't listening.
See if you can break it for fearing the safety of you and/or gf. I believe that's one way to break a lease....
Dude you're obviously a troll or seriously stupid. Not once since this thread was created have I said "I want to stay in that apartment even though I've found out how unsafe it is". After reading this thread and doing some research I decided this afternoon that I'm definitely going to bale. Thanks to those that did help.
lol that map illustrates the concept of "white-flight" perfectly but yeah, just live there and don't be a b****
You drove around the area atleast for a few minutes so it's obviously not that bad else you would have never signed the lease...If your that concerned for her safety break the lease its that's simple.
How many of the people in this thread who are telling the OP not to "be a b****" actually live in the area?
I don't. I actually live in a "nice, friendly suburb" but I also know that people's fears of certain areas are so overstated fears of stuff in general. Why people be so scurred?
thats no excuse! you might have said already, but did you rent this place w/out going there first? and did the dirt-cheap rent which i assume you got not put up any red flags? are you moved in yet? if not id just cut my loses and go somewhere else (at least closer to 1960). i would bet apartments around there have people bail on them all the time - you probably lose your deposit, but it might be worth it to get out now.
so let me get this straight.....you thought Houston was such a hood that you went fleeing to Memphis?!? That actually explains a lot....
