Contracts (apartment, house)

You can negotiate changes to the contract or walk away from the deal.

Thats undersood, and I really appreciate your input. But my reason to write about those occurrences isn't that Im unaware I can walk out from it (which trust me thats exactly what I do when someone thinks their shadiness is acceptable) why I am sharing the experiences I went through is - so people are aware what can happen to them here, and they will be cautious, avoiding any less than optimal conditions. Im not discussing pricing, the fact that many of those places aren't by code because no one ever inspected them, or that electrical extension line goes underneath dropping sink supplying all appliances. ( I just realized, I should maybe write about those not so rare occurrences in another topic)
I wasn't to elaborate on miniscule property taxes (ppl wouldn't believe how little yearly property tax can be - depending on location), yet attempts to charge same price as the large american cities downtown luxurious apartment - that really is one of negotiable things.
The reasoning of landlord that window AC unit doesn't work since Maria and he/she won't fix it cuz he/she doesn't have a money for it from that American price charged apartment is just hillarious joke and Americans who agree to it - I myself can't hear complain about not having an AC (you agree to be ripped like a goose and having non-functional AC window unit two years after Maria - I mean that's really funny to me).

Being in position when landlord thinks they can squeeze an extra cash out of you by promising contract with Hollywood like sweet performances just to drop a bomb at you 3 days before expiration - that doesn't leave you much space for negotiation.
But I take your well intended comment.
To me it gave me element of surprise as Im not here first week and Im aware of shadiness, so in the moment when contract will be Monday, then Tuesday, then end if the week - I didn't waste time but start looking for different place where I expect to discover new levels of shadiness. Let be open and honest for change
