We moved to Miaoli last August, and now we're moving again, but fortunately, it's just across the street, not 200km away. Unfortunately, our current landlady wants to increase the rental fee, which is already not the cheapest in the area. I really like our current place because it's larger compared to many other apartments we've seen, so it's sad to have to move.
Luckily, we found a new place very quickly, and our new landlady is super nice, so that's a positive aspect. However, the new place will be smaller, especially the kitchen, which is really small. So, I hope that we can move again in the near future 😂
I really enjoy living in this area. It's newer, has sidewalks, and is convenient but not too busy, so it's quieter here. Our community consists of six flats, and we have a shared garden, although there are no other facilities.
One annoying aspect of moving frequently is having to change all my documents. I need to update my ARC card, driving license, and everything else. Without proper household registration, our son wouldn't be able to attend kindergarten and later school. I personally feel that this rule is a bit excessive. Many landlords don't want tenants to register their household as they want to avoid paying taxes and keep their presence hidden. However, this is not legal, and it is possible to report such cases, although it's not commonly done. Renting a place in Taiwan often involves either paying a higher price or landlords offering discounts but not providing a proper address for tax reporting or access to rental subsidies, among other issues.
We are currently living in an apartment building where the manager also works as a salesperson, and it's becoming quite frustrating. She constantly tries to persuade us to rent other places, all of which are highly priced. Even though she knows we have already rented a new place!
In comparison to the community we are about to move into, our current neighbors are extremely distant and show no concern for one another. For instance, we have a Line group with all the residents in our building. Ever since we moved here, our upstairs neighbors have been consistently loud, both during the day and at night, even as late as 1-2 am. Every time we send a message in the group expressing our discomfort with the noise, we are completely ignored. This has been going on for the entire year.
Furthermore, the building manager hasn't taken any action to address this issue, aside from sending one message a long time ago, reminding everyone to be quiet after 10 pm. It seems like nothing has changed since then.
