That's true. The buildings I lived in down there were all very professional. I deal with that much better than Philly Professional.
Oh, and a little off the topic but on the topic of renting in Philly, has anyone ever encountered this: I looked at a place ages ago, and I told the guy I was interested. He said he had a handful of other people out there who had turned in applications and that I should fill out an application, give him $50, and he'll go through all of them and decide who gets it. I think professionally, you should take money from the first applicant, if they don't meet your requirements, you call the next person who viewed your place and take their application fee and so on until you find an applicant who meets your credit/background requirements. This guy was basically just collecting $50 from everyone who viewed his place. I told him to screw himself, that's just shady. I mean even if he simply didn't know what he was doing, he most likely would have been a mess of a landlord. And last time I walked by there, the apartment was
still on the market. But I've heard of other people around here who've encountered the same thing. Definitely one of the perks of renting from a corporation is even if they're Philly Professional, they're most likely not running some kind of scam.
