Inspection, Rent & Strange System

I have moved over to my current apartment hoping it will be better than my previous 1. Well, it is better but there is something which I dislike. 1st, is the inspection; since the current owner of the apartment wishes to sell the apartment so he will arrange with the management for once or couple of times in a month to inspect the place. Usually the buyer will come instead of the owner. The problem is that there seems to be no deal made at all as potential buyers keep coming every month. I do not know whether any deal is made or it is like showing off different kinds of apartments so that buyers can chose the apartment they like. The annoying thing is that the management will only give us 1 notice each month and then they will just bring those people here as many times as they like. 2nd, the rent; I prefer the way my old apartment's management handled. They would give me a notice if I past the date of payment to remind me. The current 1 will not give any notices and after 1 month they will straight away disable our security card which will disallow us to enter the main door. That was what happened to my housemate yesterday. We forgot to pay July’s rent, it must be due to overseas travel. 3rd, their strange system; When I went to pay the rent, the service crew said my housemate and I owed them 320 bucks of rent. That was impossible as we paid full amount everytime so if we were to owe them money it would be the full amount. The 320 bucks was actually from the lower apartment that we were living before we moved to the higher 1. We moved on the 21st but we did the handover on 27th. The system thought that we were occupying 2 apartments during that week! The maintenance guy was busy on 22nd and we were busy from 23rd till 26th, so we did the handover on 27th. That time, a different service crew did not mention anything about this to us. She said it was alright to choose any day we liked to do the handover. After a long 'chat', the service crew said he will remove those extras rent from our bill. Nothing is perfect.

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
