I think in all three examples you're starting to impede comprehension, and change the meaning of the sentence. - Example 1 sounds like the caller is cleaning the apartment of the narrator, because the subject hasn't changed from the beginning of the sentence. - Example 3 leaves the friend in question: whose friend is he talking about? - In Example 2 you have to have an article of some kind — if not_my_ then _the_, at the very least.
