The bed was beautiful to look at, but that bark didn't feel good on the back of the thighs when sliding in and out of bed.

Good tenants, we usually just let them slide into month to month and don't worry about it.

Maybe a high-top table, bar stools and wine glasses set up in a corner.  

As for the hot water tank / HVAC pans, it depends, not required that I know of, but if you want one you can go buy it and have anyone install it, just lift the unit up and slide it under.

My apartment only has sideways-opening windows or a sliding door to my balcony.  

Should I let this slide and sign the contract anyway if they are not willing to provide the mailing address on contract?

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

I don't mean to scare folks either, it's more like a glass of cold water tossed in the face to say wake up!

They admitted it was after a drunk driving incident, which at the time was a major red flag but I let it slide. 

Also agent retention rates are higher right now as it is top of the cycle markets in most parts of the country and a mediocre agent who can fog a glass can possibly generate a sale.
