Long story short we are selling our home and moving to an apartment to be closer to family due to aging parents and illness. We're selling our place at the end of July, but availability in the new apartment isn't until the end of August.

I applied, was accepted, and provided all the pre-move in documents as well (confirmation of scheduling utility start, renters insurance, etc), but still haven't gotten the lease. I called in after 2 weeks of not hearing anything and the property manager tells me they don't usually have renters sign leases until a week prior to move in.

This seems rather odd and risky. Odd because every other apartment complex I've experienced is breaking their neck to get you to sign and lock you in and count revenue. Risky because we already need to couch/hotel surf for nearly a month so I don't want to get to a week before move in and for whatever reason, it isn't available anymore.

They insist this is their process and have never had an issue, but I'm an in writing type of guy and if a signed document doesn't exist, it isn't real. Am I being paranoid here or is this some standard practice that I've just never encountered?

I'm moving interstate (MN to MI) in less than 2 weeks and among all of the stuff we need to prep for moving, I forgot to check the ATF notification requirements. I have both a suppressor and an SBR and know that Michigan allows for both items.

For the suppressor, I understand I can submit this AFTER I move, which alleviates the time pressure.

I also have an SBR, which is actually a pistol with a stock instead of a brace. I understand this must be reported and stamp received BEFORE I move.

Due to me moving out before the end of the month and anticipating not receiving the physical tax stamp/approval form before I do, can I just disassemble the SBR back into a pistol, keep it that way, submit the 20 and reassemble it into an SBR when I receive the stamp?
