I was made homeless when my landlady passed away. I was advised to go to my local council and present myself as homeless. I did this and was denied for not having a local connection by someone that got to jump the housing queue because they worked for the council. I was born and lived my entire life in the area so this royally pissed me off. Now this was happening in january so I had no options for somewhere to even couch surf so after spending every penny i had on a bed and breakfast i was now broke and homeless in winter in scotland. As a last resort I borrowed a tent from someone and pitched it right outside the council offices door so nobody could enter without seeing someone camped outside, and called the local paper to say what was happening. I got a place to live the same day because they were embarassed at having to explain to everyone why I was there.

I had a friend who went to the Council to get a place to live. She has lived in this town her entire life as have her entire family going back several generations has 4 kids and was passed up time and time again because the council kept giving places that she could have had to immigrants or travelers (Gypsies, we live in Ireland), . She works, pays taxes and did and does everything right but was still passed over for people who don't. She eventually had to get her own place when her dad lent her the money for a deposit to rent a place with affordable rent in a cheap part of town. He had to take out a loan to get her the money. Neither of them have well paid jobs. The only reason it's cheap is that no one lives there if they don't have to as there are people around there who are in to drugs. She hates it but it was literally the only place she could get. Her family are at the moment in the throes of getting her out.

I hate this stupid rule. My disabled nephew worked for a Midlands council for years. He lived in the town he worked in, except for a brief period when he was married and moved to a different nearby town which fell under a different council. He got laid off at work and his marriage collapsed. All his friends were in the town he worked in and the council wouldn’t contemplate a flat for him there as “he gad no connections.” to the area. Leaving him isolated and without support.

When hubby and I were trying to get this house, we had to do a little painting on the back of the house and front porch to qualify for the loan we were trying to get (loan required no peeling paint, so rotten wood, good roof). Luckily there was paint was in the garage that matched. Why we were tasked with this and not the realtor, I don't know. It was minor issues that we completed in less than 3 hours. While we're working on it, another couple comes by to look at the house, and asks if we're having an open house since the front door was open. Awkwardly had to tell them that we were in the process of trying to get it. We did get it in the end!

When I was house hunting, I (female) brought my boyfriend with me. To be clear, I was buying the house. I walked into the realtor's office and a man sat us down at a table to look at what was available. He put the listings he had in front of my boyfriend and I said, "No, I'm going to be the one buying" and I took the listings. For the rest of my time there, the realtor wouldn't even acknowledge me even though I was asking questions and would only talk to my boyfriend. I stood up and said, "This isn't going to work" and I got up and walked out. I wish I had called to complain about him, and today's me would have, but I was just so mad I never wanted to deal with that company again. I did find a realtor who would actually look at me when talking about properties, but I'll never forget how angry that guy made me.

Same type of thing happened to me when I wanted to buy a car. I had just gotten a huge promotion and wanted to celebrate by getting a fun car (not a daily driver). The salesman wouldn't even look at me, even though my husband kept telling him it was my money and my purchase. I also told him it wasn't going to work and left. Unfortunately, when I called to complain the owner was just like the salesman - misogynistic.

While my, then, common-law husband/bf (whatever you want to call him) was working, I had the task of apartment hunting with our young kid in tow. Since we needed a co-signer, anyways, his dad (FIL, you could say) came along to the viewings. The places weren't in the most desirable areas, and so some of the caretakers we met gave me creep-vibes. One caretaker full-on assumed my FIL was my husband. Gross. No. When I corrected him he was confused. Super awkward. I think the same day, we viewed another apartment. It was a small-ish building. As we were walking back to the car in the hallway, a half naked, middle-aged guy opened his suite door, showing his door plastered with porn, and trying to talk to the caretaker. Remember, I still have my young daughter with me and FIL. I think the caretaker was mortified, he was telling the guy to get back in his suite. Needless to say we scratched that place off the list. We were having a lot of trouble finding a decent, affordable place. Another day, we went to look at a well-managed complex lot. The caretakers were strict. And discriminatory. He proceeded to tell me, er... lecture me about the 'no parties' policy. Again, I had my young daughter with me. I'm also a young parent, and I looked young for my age in my 20s, too. I assured him we don't party. The caretaker raised his voice at me, right in my face, threatening eviction if we had one party. I hadn't even filled out the application. They called later on saying they refused my application. I didn't mind.

In my twenties I couldn't afford an apartment, so I resorted to renting a room....off craigslist. One place I looked an older gentleman rented to 2 other older gentlemen, best guess they were all in their 60s. The guys were mildly creepy, in that they didn't hide their attraction to me (not a deal killer, just annoying). But when I walked in the place was a disaster, it belonged on an episode of Hoarders. There were stacks of junk and papers everywhere. All the furniture was covered, the only clear spaces were paths to walk from room to room. The kitchen was unusable, they cooked on a hotplate. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I did find a place off craigslist, with a slightly creepy late 40s dude, who hoard car parts in the garage (clean house). Lived there 5yrs with no issues. He was really nice and we still talk nearly a decade later.

Nice house, semi-secluded being set back from a dead-end road, a little distance from the neighborhood and no neighbors visible. But...there are a few 'Beware of Dog' signs, a locking gate, numerous outdoor motion-sensor lights, a security system, and key locks on every window, plus key locks on bedroom and even hallways doors. Very unusual amount of security, particularly inside the house. Based on the age of the owner, and my agent's firefighter experience, this was all but certainly housing at least one person with dementia. Nope...just an old woman who grew up in a very unsafe country. This was probably her first time living without bars on the windows, so she took some extra precautions. I ended up getting the house and the biggest threat is probably a raccoon getting in!

I tried to buy last year during the midst of quarantine when the banks were offering super low rates…I’m talking 1.5% low! I didn’t have a lot of savings to put towards a down payment so I had to get a starter home, which was fine as it was just me, my husband, and soon to be baby. The problem was and to my understanding still is any house we even slightly liked or were within our price range would get sold within 24 hours of posting. Many people would buy them sight unseen even. The realtor told me that it was wealthy people buying them up to flip to see as an investment. I always knew the rich were greedy with money, but apparently they are greedy in every aspect of life to the point where they won’t let a family buy a home without seeing a way for them to get even richer. So we’re still stuck in an apartment. Maybe one day we’ll be homeowners 😏

The housing market is out of control. My advice to anyone looking to buy a house right now is wait until the banks are allowed to do foreclosures again. Once those homes hit the market, I'm going to bet that prices adjust down a little bit and houses last more than a couple of days before they go pending.

I doubt it because investors will just snag them up for "cheaper" and then fix them and flip them for outrages amounts. I am flabbergasted at the prices right now. A house I used to rent went up and sold for over 400k, I wouldn't have paid 200. It was outdated and had a lot of issues. People are so desperate they'll buy anything.

I the major city near me, if toy own a home that is not occupied at least 50% of the time you have to pay a much higher property tax rate. So if you buy a house as an investment you actually have to rent it or pay through the nose. That makes rental rates much more competitive with ownership, which in turn makes ownership less attractive and brings down housing prices.

We were looking at an apartment in a beautiful historic building. We had found the lost cat of the managers and after meeting them they said there was a vacancy. The application was pretty thorough, but cats! so we proceeded to the interview and tour phase. It was all going fine until one of them realised that my working shifts was going to be a problem for the other tenants, who would not like the stairs being used during the night. Basically they expected us to be indoors by dark and to stay there until morning. I wish it was some kind of vampire thing. They were just unreasonable. I swear I could see the thought forming behind her eyes when she figured out that not everyone works daytime hours. The uncomfortable part was her assuming I didn't know how to walk up and down stairs like a grown-up, or to close a door without slamming it. Mind you, I was only 43 years old at the time.

There was barely enough room between the false wall and the actual basement wall to move, but the false wall went around the entire basement.

We got our house very cheap because the owner died and our realtor knew that his children were so keen to sell it that they would accept any reasonable offer as long as it would mean that they could lay their hands on some cash very fast.

I was looking at a vacant duplex apartment in a nice section of town. I could afford the rent, it was convenient for everywhere I needed to go, so, I went back to the office to fill out the application and forms to rent it. I asked if I could go back and take some measurements for curtains and furniture. An agent accompanied me with the keys. After we opened the door, we found a note on the floor from the downstairs neighbor complaining about last night's party and all of the noise and disturbance it caused. The nightly parties had to stop NOW! The agent and I read it. The agent said that the place had been empty for 3 months, it was immaculate and there was no evidence of any "party". The prior tenant had passed away in a care home, that's why the place had been vacant for so long and the locks had been changed after their property was put in storage. Truly, there was No evidence of a party, nor a break-in. I withdrew my application. Apparently the downstairs tenant was a real handful and I didn't want to participate in her antics.

Years ago while I was in college my friend and I decided to find an apartment together. We found several to look at in one day. The first place we went, the landlord took us into a house that was still actively lived it. He said the occupants should have been out the day before and seemed genuinely surprised to find that they were still living there. The place was a mess. Clothing everywhere. Dishes everywhere. Garbage everywhere. Nothing was remotely packed. He proceeds to tell us to look around. We both felt uncomfortable about this but kind of peeked around the place. When we comeback to the living room the landlord is smelling some discarded panties and when he sees us shoved them into his pocket. We did not take the apartment.

I live in an area where the housing is incredibly expensive. We were fortunate that we could afford to buy a modest house in one of the less egregiously expensive neighborhoods. One of the houses we looked at had at least eight people living in the two-car garage sleeping in bunk beds. We didn't end up wanting to buy that house for other reasons, but someone else did soon soon after. It was inevitable in that market. It made me so sad that they were living like that, but also wondering if they were going to lose even that meager housing when the owner sold.

There were plenty of people applying for the apartment until my BF pointed out there was mould in some kitchen corners. Hard to see at first sight but after finding out it was there, we realized it was pretty much EVERYWHERE! In every single room, in every corner and by every single window. Subtle but still there. After hearing it, everyone else ran to the estate agent and more or less tore their applications out of his hands. He wasn't too happy about it. If looks could kill, we'd be dead now.

My husband and I went to look at a house and we were told by the real estate agent that the couple that owned the house recently divorced and the house was put on the market so the assets could be divided. The husband still lived in the house and did not want to sell. The house needed some work and was messy but when I went to look at one of the bathroom there was a huge turd in the toilet. If the house was what we were looking for it would not have deterred us from making an offer but it was not. It was just a $#!++y thing to do.

I had a similar experience last time I was house-hunting. The house was only a year old and the seller was a young man. It was filthy, and the toilet was... not clean. If a person were trying to get money back on their investment in a new development, wouldn't they want to at least hire a cleaner to make it presentable?

It was uncomfortable to see how many houses are held up with stacks of random junk held together by luck. Don't get me wrong, you do what you gotta do when you don't have money to fix something properly, but I'm glad I found a place with a good foundation.

I already posted my experience viewing a house. Here's something that happened during the open house of the home I was selling. Some lady, after viewing the house, stood in the driveway telling all the new arrivals that it was a pit and not to bother. Turns out she was wanting the house herself and trying to scare away competition. Didn't help as I got 5 offers over asking price the next day. She was one I turned down.
