We were going to move to West Virginia from Florida. I went on to several apartment web sites and found Laurel Commons Town homes. The price was good. I checked surrounding areas and the prices there were about the same for apartments. The buildings looked nice nothing out of the ordinary. It stated that there was new siding, new windows, newly renovated interiors, renovations to wow you. They were also advertising a $50 move in special with a coupon. The area looked clean from the pictures they took. We did the application via fax and was approved. We drove 908 miles and I wanted to cry when pulling up to the town homes. The neighborhood was run down. The apartment community was terrible looking. Very unclean, looked like the worst section 8 you could find. Very poverty stricken. I told my husband lets at least look at it maybe it won't be so bad inside. We had just driven 900 miles after all and I was in denial. We walked up to where we were supposed to live and the windows were broke, not even close to new.
