Unreasonable Guilt

Well, now I feel guilty.

Backstory: I am moving to Milwaukee in about six weeks. I've started the apartment search, and am currently compiling a list of places to see. I don't live anywhere near Milwaukee, so I'm going to have to take off work next week and fly out there to see potential apartments and sign my lease. With that in mind, I'll be arranging the most streamlined schedule possible to see as many places as I can.

I've been using Craigslist as my primary source of potential apartments. I found my current landlord through Craigslist and he's been fantastic. But - I'm wary of places that don't show pictures of their rental properties. Generally, if I e-mail someone and ask for pictures they cough a few up.

So, I contacted another likely landlord and asked for some pictures. Which she refused to provide. I then told her that I'm under a pretty strict timeline, and I wouldn't be interested in seeing her property without advance photos. Thanks, but no thanks.

Three hours later, I have not one, but two e-mails full of pictures. I didn't mean to make the poor lady rush over there and take these pictures - it was just a statement of fact. I'm leary of sketchy Craigslist listings with no photos.

So, sorry Milwaukee landlady! I'll come see you place, it looks very nice.
