Bait and Switch

Things never go quite as you expect when you plan things out in fine detail.
We had an apartment lined up in Halifax finally to be able to move down (and end my hour long commute every day finally). I had viewed not this apartment but another apartment in the building. It was great, everything was new. I was told that the other apartment would be vacated and completely renovated to the same look and feel of the place I was viewing. We took the place considering the price and location.
Rented a van, packed the cats in for the 3 hour drive and was ready to pick up the keys...

Cept, the place wasn't the same at all. Everything was old, stained and crummy. This was not the same as promised at all. In all fairness, they weren't finished with some of the work, but they weren't intending to fix the major problems anyway. After some discussion with the property management company, it was decided they didn't want to fix the place, and we didn't want it anyway.
At least we managed to find a new place, but the poor cats didn't enjoy a 3 hour drive turning into a 6 hour adventure.
Thanks a lot Trans Globe....
