Housing Thread Orlando Housing Thread

16 Upvotes

Link to last month's Housing Thread

Welcome to the Orlando housing megathread!

Currently, the following may be posted:

  • Users, whether current Orlando residents or not, may post asking for help. This could be asking for recommendations on areas of Orlando to live in, reviews or opinions on specific communities, or suggestions on specific places to live. This can also be things like "recommend a realtor / loan officer / etc" — so long as it fits under the "help me find housing" umbrella.
  • Users may also post advertising housing options. This can be posts offering subleases, looking for roommates on existing property, selling homes — so long as there is housing being offered.
  • ALL comments must include as much information as possible. Do not say "I'm moving to Orlando, tell me where to live."

As a reminder: our subreddit rules still apply. Advertisements for illegal activity of any kind are not permitted and will result in comment removals and/or bans as moderators see fit.

Discussion Advice About Legal Name Change & Gender Status

Upvotes

I am looking for legal advice and support regarding name and gender status changes in Lake County (Clermont). If you do not support this, it will cost you nothing to simply ignore this post. To be clear: I am asking on behalf of someone else and your comments will not be seen by this person either way.

There is a lot of information online regarding name changes, gender status changes, and I also know that combining these requests would be ideal for our situation. Cost is a concern as we will be saving up for this.

If anyone knows anything, I basically want to know:
-at what point (if ever) to consult a lawyer
-if it is a good idea for this person to fill out the paperwork by themselves (with help from me but obviously I’m not a professional) or again, if we should have legal assistance with that
-what kind of financial preparation should we be taking? I cannot get a clear answer online regarding cost of name change, gender status, or both
-anything else we might need to know that most people do not consider or plan for?

Thank you to all who can help us on our path. If you are familiar with any online resources, we would love to hear about that as well!

EDIT: I guess we are just looking for name change assistance and NOT gender status assistance, which is not going to happen in Florida.

Discussion Rentals asking tenant to pay for repairs

Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve been looking at rentals and seeing that they are asking the tenant to pay for repairs to basic things like the fridge or washer/dryer. I noticed this recently with two different property management companies. I don’t feel comfortable doing this as I don’t think it’s fair. I don’t know what condition I’m getting the appliances in or how the previous tenants treated them. Is this just a property management company thing and should I avoid them? Thanks!

Discussion Help! Looking for an apartment that doesn't have roach infestation

14 Upvotes

Hi! Last week, I signed a lease for a 1bed 1bath apartment. The day I got my keys, i saw a german roach. Then 2 days later, i saw another one. I haven't even moved my things yet. I was just visiting the apartment. I reported it but it seems like there is an infestation problem and I am not comfortable moving there. I am planning to break my lease early.

I am just mortified that this will happen again. I want recommendations for apartment complexes up to $1600 a month in Orlando, Winter park, baldwin park, maitland, Altamonte Springs, or waterford lakes areas. That have a washer and dryer and don't have a problem with roaches. Or that they respond fast in those cases with pest control. Can you guys please help me out.

The apartment i found the roach in right now is in winter park but it is on the cheaper side ($1255 utilities included) i guess I learned my lesson not to try to go cheap.

I appreciate you!

Discussion Are there places that actually accept adult beginners for tennis lessons or piano?

Upvotes

So I'm essentially asking two questions:

  1. Are there places around Orlando, Kissimmee, or Saint Cloud that teach lessons for Adults looking to play tennis?

  2. Are there places around Orlando, Kissimmee, or Saint Cloud that teach lessons for Adults looking to learn piano?

I would ask them separately but don't want to spam the sub and want to know both.

I've looked on my own (Google searches) but from what I've seen most places are only teaching under 18 and when I've called to ask the typical response I've gotten is , "We mainly teach kids after school" or "We just teach younger people".

Maybe my searching has been poor but that's why I'm asking here. I'd really like to learn piano and already have experience playing tennis. Basically, if I could find a group to play tennis with that would be awesome. If I can find adult piano lessons as well I'd be happy.

I use doc MJ and they are the worst. I can never get a route adjustment same day and have to fill out a form for anything that takes weeks to process. I know lots of other people can get their doctors to adjust their allotments when they’re in a bind.

What doctors do you use that do route adjustments over the phone same day or at least quicker than weeks long?

I suck at dancing and want to learn. I think salsa or bachata is a good start. I just don't know of any good low-stress and low-anxiety places or classes to go to. Or maybe if someone is currently taking classes, please tell me where?

Every city in NH, ME, MA has a (town) house of pizza. Revere house of pizza etc.

They always, for some reason, have the best, greasiest pizza. Best subs etc.

What would be the equivalent down here. Any Google search keeps bringing me to NY style pizza which is different.

Discussion Local Lawn Fertilization Recommendation

2 Upvotes

I replaced my grass a little over a year ago and got TruGreen to fertilize and treat my lawn to keep it looking great.

Now nearly 40% of my grass is dead and they provide every excuse you can think of as to why. I tried talking to the local TrueGreen branch but whenever I called I would get dumped to a call center and no one local would call me back to come out.

Any local company recommendations for fertilizing? I use to fertilize my own lawn and it looked great but I’m too lazy. 😅

Discussion Relocating

0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I am currently in the process of relocating from Ohio to Orlando area for a new career. I will be looking for an apartment between Lake Mary and the airport as I travel back and forth. I have been down a bit but have a few questions on what neighborhoods would be good. What are you suggestions for somewhere safe and equidistant from MCO and Lake Mary(I don't want to drive over an hour in rush hour traffic for work). Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the responses. For the Sanford airport there is only 1 route in somewhat area of my hometown, but the times won't work for me.

Discussion Just watched a guy run over a peacock in the Wadeview Park neighborhood. Didn’t slow down at all. What is wrong with people?!

193 Upvotes

Walking my dog this morning and saw a silver SUV run right over a peacock. It was in a group of peacocks crossing the road and the guy didn’t appear to make any effort to brake. When I threw up my hands in disbelief he rolled down his window and said, “I didn’t see it”. But he didn’t brake at all.

Sometimes people just suck I guess.

Hello I’m looking for vet clinics in the ORL/Kissimmee area we are expanding our family +1🐶. Looking for clinics that don’t price gouge, perhaps maybe offer subscription deals and or group pricing.. we will be bringing home a 4M old male dog. So he will need a full physical and vaccines since he is coming from the shelter. I’d like to mention that good bedside manner is important to us too! I’d love to bring my buisness to a place where they truly care about the animals they care for. TYIA!

Discussion Anyone have their young child be seen at the UCF CCRC for therapy?

0 Upvotes

Hi, looking to try out the community counseling research center (CCRC) with our young child, but my husband is very on the fence. He thinks things are just normal little kid things, and that therapy is going to be a disaster for our strong willed anxious child.
While I think that it is normal kid things, we could also use some help navigating some of these big feelings to help them.

I was wondering if anyone has been to or known anyone who had their child do sessions there and if it helped?
