    Girl, I am so happy u are out of that place! U handled it with grace while being firm and standing your ground. You're setting a great example for young women on how to be wise in situations like this ❤

      Agree. At her age I was such a wimp; that guy would have milked me for sooo much money.

    I’m so happy you are out of there! I’m sure your whole family is relieved also!! As a Mom, I would have been so worried about you living in that place, for MULTIPLE reasons! Hugs to you!!

    I feel like your landlord was taken aback because he was like WOAH I had a supermodel living in this place! 😂 😍
    Love your moving updates Abbey and hope everything is great in your next place! 💜

    I’m most certainly the queen of moving. I was born and raised into the Air Force so we moved every couple of years. So even as an adult I moved a lot and got the packing down so well. When I packed into big boxes I always put “first box packed second box packed” etc. this lets you know that whatever you pack first you won’t need straight away. The last stuff to I pack as in kitchen stuff, toiletries, bedding etc I wld put into baskets so had easy access when I moved into new place. I wld always get someone to help with setting up the beds and tv etc so I cld relax that night. Rather than pack clothing (stuff in your draws) I used clothes to wrap breakables in. I learnt a lot from my mum and dad and it did pay off. I so hope this apartment works out for you. The shortest place I stayed in was 2 days! Found out the first night I had a psycho living next door!

  • @w.w.w.n
    @w.w.w.n Před 2 lety +18

    Omg I cannot imagine running into a landlord like that, he's sooo shady!! Good that you are finally out of there. It's also good to visit the place because sometimes women's feeling of 'somethings not right here' actually tells a lot more than we can explain.

  • @michelleandino7309
    @michelleandino7309 Před 2 lety +41

    Great moving tips! I had no idea about Clutter! I'm definitely gonna be looking them up. So glad you're getting out of that horrible situation with that horrible landlord.

  • @anoukhelene6614

    I love love loveeee how you took this stressful situation of having to move again, and turned it into an opportunity to grow and make interesting content!!! can't wait to see your new setup, good luck Abbey!

  • @voice_of_a_little_lady
    @voice_of_a_little_lady Před 2 lety +20

    I've moved so many times, I understand the stress! & Your tips were spot on!..FYI for a lot of big building city apartments a 2hr, 1 elevator use the norm. And most require you reserve the slot ahead of time.

    • @dogwalker97
      @dogwalker97 Před 2 lety +2

      Agreed. Glad you have completed your move. Elevator reservations (usually with a fee) and restrictions including only a couple hours use for moving are common in high rise condo buildings in large cities

    Your new place looks 10 times nicer anyway! Glad your ok, what a journey!

  • @theashleybclay
    @theashleybclay Před 2 lety +4

    Yes! I know that smell. In older apartments, you may need to check the "pee trap". It's the little spot of plumbing underneath the sink. There is usually some really nasty stuff in there that when you clean it out, the smell goes away. We've dealt with it in our older apartment. Glad you are in a better place and hope you enjoy!

  • @LeanneGonsalves
    @LeanneGonsalves Před 2 lety +17

    Soooo happy that you got the heck out of there!! And even though you were exhausted at the end of the video, you look so much more relaxed and at ease which was nice to see.

  • @willow9790
    @willow9790 Před 2 lety +5

    I always have a small box that moves with me personally with kettle, teabags,coffee,milk,sugar,a couple of cups and teaspoons. Toilet roll. I always cover my duvet in a clean cover, put it’s sheet and pillows in fresh cases in a black bag so it can go straight on the bed in my new home.

  • @meganmalicki9857
    @meganmalicki9857 Před 2 lety +1

    Im so so so over the moon happy for you and your new apartment! I have been in a bad renting situation with bad landlords but no where near what you experienced. I hope people watching learn how critically important it is to thoroughly document the condition of rental properties as soon as they move in in addition to what you said about physically inspecting the property. Know your rights too. I don't know if you want to legally pursue your last landlord but I am SO happy you stood up to him regarding the cleaning when you left. That person was seriously so awful to you!

  • @MissJaney82
    @MissJaney82 Před 2 lety +7

  • @heredianna2496
    @heredianna2496 Před 2 lety +4

    I had a terrible landlord as well in my last apartment. The place itself was nice but overtime because of the landlord I hated the place more and more and it did not feel like home so I completely understand the freedom feeling. When I moved to my new place with a normal/ nice landlord it felt so much better. Mentally and physically. Glad you're out of there.

  • @scrabble6178

    So happy you got out of that dungeon. You are so brave to do this on your own! I’m excited for you, new apt, new people, new everything. Not ideal to move twice but hey new everything! Good luck!

  • @lisagiannoumis3816
    @lisagiannoumis3816 Před 2 lety +8

    No, don't use open storage with movers, especially not in a city. Because...bed bugs. You don't have to use cardboard boxes but at least use well sealed plastic boxes. You don't know who used that moving truck before you and they don't necessarily clean them in between.

  • @thai8020
    @thai8020 Před 2 lety +4

    I was in a similar situation and had to move out on my own. I understand the immense stress when you don’t even feel safe in your space. SO HAPPY you got out of there! It’s so sad how awful landlords can be. The moving tips are super helpful. Not everyone has a coterie of people to help them move, so I appreciate your story!!! Looking forward to when you give us a tour of your new place. It looks much brighter. Congrats!!!

  • @ellamierrose1812
    @ellamierrose1812 Před 2 lety +3

    Happy you're out of there! My last place was a mess, things always breaking and no one would fix anything, I just never felt safe there and it's such a wonderful feeling to get out of a place you aren't happy in. That landlord you had is unbelievable! Anyway, can't wait to see what you do in your new place and best of luck girl!

  • @04beni04
    @04beni04 Před 2 lety

    Colour coding is super helpful! We used craft tapes and it helped so much to overcome language barriers. Toddler feeling separation anxiety from belongings and stuffed friends? It's great to have a box that can be tracked easily pointed to/counted/patted/waved to. Have persons in your life (or an inclusive moving company) who function better using alternative modes of communication? Whether deaf, neurodivergent, still learning English, prone to anxiety, or illegible handwriting? It's SO MUCH EASIER to label rooms and boxes by colour rather than risk vague terms like "parlour" or "den" or "guest bedroom" or "back closet".

  • @charlene9156
    @charlene9156 Před 2 lety +15

    Loved the moving tips. Looks like Clutter was a great investment and delivered the service you wanted. I hope your new place can be a safe and comfortable home. Wow, looks like a much nicer apartment, so happy for you.

  • @susanmichael78

  • @brittanytaylor6373
    @brittanytaylor6373 Před 2 lety +1

    My favorite tip for moving is getting boxes from liquor stores!! My local liquor stors actually put boxes outside by the front door because so many people ask for them. they are FREE and so sturdy because they hold so much weight normally. You just gotta be cool with flashy liquor brands displaying on the outside lol

  • @lokaleibnizdepp
    @lokaleibnizdepp Před 2 lety +4

    I highly recommend a peephole cam from Ring. So you never need to guess what is going on at on the other side of the door. it is rental friendly. No drilling or wiring is needed. You just need to unscrew the peephole lens and replaced it with the peephole cam. However, it is out of stock at Ring and At Amazon. I hope they didn’t discontinue it.

  • @becauselesliesays
    @becauselesliesays Před 2 lety +2

    Your new apartment looks so nice! I’m glad you’re in a good space and feel safe. Clutter seems like a quality service, I’ll keep them in mind when I move.

  • @paytongardner9797
    @paytongardner9797 Před 2 lety +1

    So happy that you are out of that place! It seems that there wasn't one good thing about it! And that landlord .... wow just wow! The man clearly is a slumlord! My husband and I have rental properties and I cannot imagine renting a place out in the condition that you found that place in! Discussing! Not fixing things, blaming you for things that were broken before you moved in, basically accusing you of lying, it just went on and on. I hope that you have a MUCH better experience in your new place and if things go sideways stand up for yourself! You are smart and you do an excellent job of documenting everything which is so important! Enjoy your new home!

  • @Snowymae
    @Snowymae Před 2 lety +4

    Unfortunately most stores like Walmart and Target now use reusable boxes and bins for their inventory, so if you see boxes make sure to check that you are allowed to take them. Just to let you know if your former landlord gives you any trouble he can get in a bunch of trouble for representing himself as a lawyer. I also encourage you get the door bar recommended in the previous comments for your safety 😀

    Abbey, how did you find the last apt- and how did you find this one? Would be a huge help to those looking, to provide some.hints! Glad you said here what I’ve been thinking - don’t rent anything until you (or someone you trust) can do a walk-thru! Good luck in the new place & please give us a tour when you can.

My apartment is horrible as well my roof has leaked since day one on my shoes, she doesn’t plow my drive way and we get about 2 foot of snow in storms which was included in my rent, and it’s falling apart, plus my neighbors park in front of me and there is an elks lodge near me and they park behind me so I get blocked in and her response is to drive over a snow bank🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t wait until my lease is up in June
