I’m not a fan of living in old and run down living spaces.
I had to rent a room in an old boarding property when I was still in school.
The bathrooms were moldy and the roof had leaks in it. I tried to spend as little time in that space as possible. I constantly loved it when I had friends who would invite me over to their places either to hang out or to spend more time. Secretly I wouldn’t even want to go back to my apartment at all. I would just want to stay out with them as long as I possibly could. But when you live in a rundown property like that, that is pretty common. I had friends when I was growing up who lived in exhausting homes and they would want to come and spend the night at my property as much as possible. So that is why I understand it, however at the same time, I am trying to find better housing in the years since. I lived in a few rentals that were of higher quality, however not the best, and recently I had to buy a property because I couldn’t see myself renting any longer; Unluckyly, there were things about the property I didn’t realize until I already bought it. I didn’t ask about the windows or the floors or even the roof. One of the things that I certainly should have asked about was the HVAC duct and the ventilation system. They told me the air conditioning had been updated a few years prior, however they didn’t tell me there was actual damage to the HVAC duct. This is a concern for long-term use of an air conditioning because then the HVAC duct leaks all of your cold air. and now I am going to have to get the old HVAC duct fixed and it’s a drastic problem. I have talked to some HVAC texts who say that the ventilation system has to be updated altogether. They say it would cost too much money to try to repair it instead of just replacing it right. I do not certainly understand what I can do at this point other than live with it until I have enough money to get new HVAC duct.
