I was down right frustrated with trying to find an apartment. I had begun to resign myself to living in my current apartment for another year. I had one more apartment to look at and then I was going to call it quits.
And the last apartment went well. It needs a good cleaning... the hardwood floors are in bad shape...and the bathroom is a little scary... BUT...
It has off street parking, heat included, a real closet and kitchen! And it will be the same price as what the rent in my current place will go up to.
So yesterday I filled out the application and during my lunch break went to my current leasing company to have them fill out a land lord referral. They told me, "We don't do that". So I asked for a print out of my account balance so I could at least show the potential landlord that I've always paid my rent in full and on time. They thankfully gave that to me.
So I jaunted up to the potential leasing company's office to turn everything in and told the secretary that my current leasing company wouldn't fill out the form.
The secretary replied, "They do. They don't like it, but they'll do it for us. But I have no doubt that they told you that they don't. " I could have laughed! Even other leasing companies know how bad they are. I even looked them up in the Better Business Bureau and they have an F!!
Oh if I had been smarter when I signed my first lease. I got a copy of what my new lease will look like and it was all very reasonable. I'm having the boyfriend look it over for me to be sure (two sets of eyes are better than one).
So- I turned everything in yesterday and I'm hoping to hear that my application has been approved by tomorrow so I can tell my current leasing company FUCK YOU!
Cross your fingers! :)
