How much will it cost to replace the wall-to-wall carpeting in my apartment? It is typical tan, apartment grade carpet, and I know my apartment will jack up the price because they are money hungry. So anyone know the going rate?

I live in an apartment and am thinking of putting some tomato plants (or other plants) in pots on my porch. My downstairs neighbors smoke heavily on their porch, directly below mine…if I go out on my porch, I am just breathing it in. Will tomatoes, or other plants be effected by the cigarette smoke? Will it make them less safe to eat? Are there certain plants that are less effected?
Can eating the plants exposed to cigarette smoke harm me, even if the plants themselves are unharmed?

We do not smoke and never flush cigarette butts, but when we came home today there was one in the toilet. Our city did have water problems this morning with a water shortage. Is it possible for this to happen or should we worry that someone was in here?

What is that? It is on my apartment checkoff list for damaged items, and I have no idea. Sorry I am an international student.

Is there a thermostat that monitors unit that is malfunctioning? I am trying to save $$ and pissed when it starts up by itself. Any ideas? I have not yet called apt complex. thanks

I live in an apartment which is in basement. Right now even though the temperature is in 70s outside, why does it feel cold inside the apartment? Feels as if winter’s started.

I live in an 1850′s building with a fireplace in the basement and first floor. I am using the one in the basement. Usually it is working fine, but when I stir it, or if I put another log on it, the smoke stops going up the flu and billows out into my apartment, filling it with smoke. This goes on for about 15 to 20 minutes until it corrects itself. Why does it do this? It is like the flu is closed, but it is clearly not, I have looked up in and I can see that it is fine. How do I stop this from happening?

I’m looking to buy some furniture for my apartment but of course I don’t have a lot of money. What are some good stores to buy furniture such as living room chairs, entertainment centers, and bathroom shelves from that are good quality but cheap as well?

I would like to keep my electric bill down this winter, but my apartment is very drafty, and the walls are thin, and the doors and windows arent well insulated. What can I do myself to insulate my apartment without spending a lot of money.

The reason i as is that i recently moved into an apartment that has free gas but that also means they control the heat. So what i have stared doing is running 2-3 burners on the stove and it heats the place up real nice. My two concerns are 1: is their gas bill going to be insane? and is it safe health wise because there is little to no ventilation.
