@Gerardo SalazarThis is not uncommon, the landlord doesn't want to bother or startle the tenants without a signed contract in place.

I've read census survey info before, but this one is startling.

When I installed one for the 1st time I was startled my wife insisted on throwing just about everything in there from food prep.

I instructed the tenant to kennel the dog and knew he would not in a effort to keep me out.Surprisingly when I went to enter I was startled by the dog being lose and backed away suddenly leaving the door open :).

Her son also startled me when I did the walkthrough because he appeared out of nowhere.

I was in the house one day and startled by a woman who just dropped in.

Add-on: a bit of evidence in favor of college being pretty much just what you make of it, and nothing magic: "In November 2002, the Quarterly Journal of Economics published a landmark paper <https://www.nber.org/papers/w7322> by the economists Stacy Dale and Alan Krueger that reached a startling conclusion.

The bads.....unemployment is skyrocketing, I believe we are up to over 30 million now, and 10+%, which is startling as we were at record lows being in the mid 3s just a couple of months ago.

Even the cat got startled at that ...that isnt hate

@Bruce LynnAlso for what it’s worth, def check in with NYC friends on how listings and rentals are trending on a week to week basis and the numbers will startle!
