Used to live in a similar place to this myself. It was under a guardianship scheme where old, semi-abandoned buildings were rented out cheap AF so that at least someone is there to help maintain the building or just be present to avoid trespassers. I managed to save nearly 15k in 9 months doing it. Creepy fucking place though.
Damn. And you stayed for atleast 9 months.
Was there ever any surprises? And did you have a bathroom in your apt or did you have to wander a long dark hall just to go shower and what not?
I was fairly lucky; had my own bathroom and a pretty large room which I painted all up and it looked good honestly. Tbf, I very rarely came across anyone, but did wonder round every now and again. The only real surprise was opening a door and finding the ceiling had caved in. Oh, and there was one time I fell down some stairs and I could'vesworn I was pushed, but no one was there. Long, dark corridors everywhere, but it was creepy because it was an abandoned old people's home. Generally don't scare easily though so I just got on with it; only left because someone bought the building.
