Apartment

means the city makes it illegal for the landlords to charge tenants rent above a ceiling price” (Murphy, 2014). For instance, landowners can not charge above the amount set by the government or as they wish. As opposed to not having rent control on apartments, lets the landowners choose the rents accordingly. Rent control is hurting poor while benefiting some rich people, creating a shortage of the rental properties, and making the rental properties’ quality down. Rent control should…

before the red skinny bird in the tree beside my window would chirp. It was my younger brother DeMontreal and my older brother Treal calling, I could hear so much tension and frustration in his voice about the water rising very quickly up to his apartment complex. He was on the bottom floor of the complex, and he had my new born nephew DeMontreal Jr. with him, my heart was pounding uncontrollably. I quickly jump out of my bed stumbling over my phone charger, rushed to put on some pants on in my…

years in an old, inexpensive apartment complex and I recall the happiest times of my childhood living there. To me, this apartment complex embodied the true definition of a community because of its different immigrant and cultural groups that I befriended. Most of the families living there at the time were looking for an affordable and sometimes long- term residence, saving money until having the ability to buy a house. Despite moving eventually, living in the apartments impacted me greatly…

According to the National Association of Realtors, there will be “five to six million families that will become new renting households in the next ten years.” (Harper 2013) We might ask ourselves, why is there a growth of people wishing to rent an apartment instead of buying a home? Before the American Dream involves buying a home, buy why is there many American changing their mind? People choose to rent because of the many advantages it offers. The top reason…

of the overwhelming commercial presence in Metro Center, the housing options are limited and traditional single-family homes are nonexistent. Only four apartment duplexes are located in the area, with the maximum number of bedrooms being three, leaving little space to grow a family. Not only are options limited when finding housing, the apartment complexes that are in the area are not nearly large enough to house the people who work in or around Metro Center, making listings far and few between,…

a family has, the more complex and nicer the house is. Houses are separated by neighborhood. There are not as many big and complex houses as there are little ones. There are apartment buildings for families with no child and sometimes for families with one child. Most houses are different from all the other ones but apartment buildings are more…

was looking forward to this weekend. I had plans to play with the girl who lives in the apartment below me today. Together we had decided to build a Treehouse in the backyard. When I really think about it, we might only be able to build a landing of some sort because we only have one long piece of plywood. However we were both determined to make something out of our single supply. I went through my apartment getting ready for my big appointment in the backyard. On a whim before going out I…

Site Apartment unit four’s existing site sits in the inner depths of a Manchester, Connecticut condominium complex. The entire residential area lacks a sense of uniformity among the plants. Some apartments have a bush that adorns their lawns, each a different variety, while others simply have a grassy yard. However, this absence of standardization in plants presents a welcome sight when contrasted against the buildings themselves. These buildings all possess identical architecture. For instance…

Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin. I was displaced to my aunt's house for weeks and missed most of my 1st grade year. When I was seventeen, I walked in on my home being robbed by some local kids. They were upstairs when I came into the house and escaped through a window, but the idea that I could have come home earlier still haunts me. Although those experiences…

“You want me to go into the basement, like this?” Replied Vanessa. “Oh, come now!” Said Miss Espinoza, sharply. “A disheveled appearance is nothing compared to being evicted from your first apartment. Wouldn’t you agree?” “I suppose, so,” answered Vanessa. Ms. Espinoza glanced at Vanessa’s apartment door for a brief moment, pondering an inexorable consequence with her absence. As a precaution, a safeguard needed to exist to obstruct a possible deception from Vanessa. That is when Ms.…
