Grant’s direct answer

Grant’s priority is to protect the neighborhood and quality of the building before protecting the perfect floor, view, or unit orientation. Even with a late job offer, HomeBase would still try to compare roughly three to seven strong communities when the schedule allows, but each building may have fewer units available. A renter might have to give up a top-floor corner, skyline view, or other specific feature. For a graduate moving alone, Grant would rather keep the renter in a strong social area and well-run property than chase the perfect unit in a poor-fit location. Some properties may later allow internal transfers, but those policies must be verified.
