This happened to me renting an apartment in Ellicott City 10 years ago. Sadly, I couldn’t get it resolved and paid $1,400 for carpet replacement. I had a 2 bedroom and every room, except for kitchen and bathrooms, was carpeted.

I prevented this from happening by scheduling a walkout with the leasing office. I refused to turn in the keys unless I gave it to the leasing manager after the walkout. All paperwork is signed at the meeting.

Another apartment complex tried to pull the same thing on me, but I referenced the paperwork the manager signed during the walkout and they backed off.

Yeah it’s super hard to get anything but split rail fences. Columbia Association wants to make sure that Columbia has big open spaces for people and animals to roam around. That’s why it’s super difficult to get approved for anything else.

That’s without traffic. Annapolis only has 2 highways but only one (I-97) is accessible from Columbia. The other highway is only accessible from PG County/NOVA. That means 97 is the only highway for the entire Baltimore Metro region. Traffic will vary but it can get real ugly. It’s the only highway for people and it’s only 2 lanes. Trips can be as fast as 35 minutes but it usually takes an hour in rush hour traffic. More if there’s an accident.

I’m sorry this scared you and I can understand the concern. I’m laughing that this disheveled looking person was canvassing for the crazy far-right politician Dan Cox. Her coming early in the morning meth-ed out of her mind was the cherry on top.
