Things I will *not* miss
when we move out of this apartment building:
-garbage chutes
-garbage chutes that STINK
-people who plainly see you coming, but don't hold the door
-or the elevator
-the mothball smell on the third floor
-the broken eave by the front door that flaps dangerously around in the wind
-stupid dog owners who don't pick up their dogs shit
-one specific dog owner who things his dog is so damn special, it doesn't ever need to be on a leash. (Which is not only annoying, it's against the law here.)
-candy wrappers, kleenex, and godknowswhatelse left in the elevator
-the washers that nobody bothers cleaning, so you have to wash the washer before you wash your clothes
-the third dryer in, because it burns everything
-Golda, the lady who talks to *everyone*, but whom no one at all can understand
-the flooding in the parking lot
-the construction. After almost two years, I've really had enough of it.
-the guy down the hall who sticks his head out and *stares* at me, when I'm waiting for the elevator
-hauling all the groceries in from the parking lot and through far too many doors and down long hallways every week
-neighbours who SLAM their doors
-the time it takes for the elevators sometimes. I could've just walked down the seven flights.
-Our brand new windows. New, yes. Working? Not always.
-and last, but certainly not least, paying all that money every month to a company who doesn't give a furry rat's ass if the tenants are happy. Eff you, Rental Agency.

Hahaha! Even though it's many years since we've lived in an apartment, I can so identify with this post. Hope all is well with you!
I completely agree with all of these, but you missed one:
- The neighbours who take the garbage to the chute but just leave it there and never put it in the chute.
oh hooo!! Good on, Mike, that is one of my beefs too! (Do they think it just pops down the chute by itself??? !!!) :)
I live in an apt. and we don't have garbage chutes (you have to walk it down to the alley yourself) or dogs (the place is full of cats, who are actually quite polite creatures) or much of a parking lot (parking on the street with a city pass is cheaper) or elevators (there are only three floors and usually the stairs aren't too tiring) and it's actually a beautiful and historical building. Too bad my Mum has filled the place up with junk... We are going to miss this place if we ever do get enough to buy a house (hah!), and our list of things we won't miss will be short.
I hope your house is as beautiful and spacious as all houses should be!
