Received this email today about my apartment building potentially being sold, anything I should prepare for? [PA]

He said nothing should change with my lease if it were to sell, but I tend to be wary with property managers. I don’t see anything in the lease about lease assignments.

I signed my lease in May of this year, I figure at the very least I should be prepared to look for new places come spring. Anything else I should be prepared for?

First insurance inspection, should I try to be there?

I received an email saying this this morning:

“We have an insurance inspection on Thursday around 10a and they need to see a couple units. I will be showing your apartment to them.”

Should I try to be present for it? Or is it no big deal? I don’t have pets or anything I would have to worry about.

This is my first time renting and I only moved in a little over a month ago so I wasn’t expecting something like this so soon.

Winds unit didn’t come with an install kit, best option for install?

I bought a 5000 BTU GE window unit second hand because it was basically brand new but it came with nothing but the unit itself. No side panels attached or anything.

I’m having a difficult time finding an install kit for sale. I assumed I would be able to find one for cheap, not the case in my search so far. My question is, how necessary are these? Can I just pick up a support bracket and some foam to fill in the gaps? That seems easier to me, but I’m unsure what is recommended as far as safety goes.

I’m new to this. Any advice helps.
