So, what are your rights? Nothing less you have the right to an equal or similar unit to what was shown and promised. If the unit is much different than the model, I have a suggestion. I suggest you have a friend ask for a tour of the model… while they are in the model unit have the friend snap as many photos as possible, especially of areas that are of debate. Have the friend act as though she is interested, or in other words don’t make it obvious. She can tell the manager she wants to show them to her husband or parents.
Once you do that you will then have proof to take to the manager. At that point you will be better adapted to demand that your unit be brought to the same condition. If you are sick of working with management, you can file a complaint with the RPA and they will mediate for you. However, that will cost you $35 to file the complaint, really nothing, but still it will be more than free.
