Just a quick catchup.
I have put in an application for an apartment I like but cannot afford. I will be house poor. Move-in date 10/7 but they will give me until 10/21.
I notified my old apartment owners that I had been approved and wanted the money. They said I am the first to apply for the moveout package and they still don't know how they are going to disburse the funds????
I notified the new apartment owners that I would be moving between the 7th and 21st because I had to give 30 days notice so the 20th will be m-day at the latest. However, I told them that if I didn't have the funds from the old owners I couldn't afford to move and will be staying for a while longer.
I am also on the waiting list for a brand new Senior apartment not that far from here. I think half of my complex is on that waiting list. It is a smallish complex of 114 apartments and I am afraid I will be too far down the waiting list to get an apartment. The price is much cheaper but I don't like hotel-looking apartments.
The apartment I have been approved is near my daughter and nearer my sister than I am here but further from my son by a good bit.
One thing irking-me-to-bits is the dog policy. They are charging fees of $200-$600 deposit and monthly rent add-ons of $10-$25.
Deposits in general are outrageous also. I don't know why I thought rents and deposits would be going down after Covid.
You can drive yourself crazy if you fight the system and I am determined to keep calm and "Keep on Trucking" if you remember this slogan from the 60s/70s.
Buddy is staying chill.
More later ...

Oh, that rent add-on for little Buddy is too much. Can you hide him:)
ReplyDeleteI hope it all works out to your advantage!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get the place you want without too much problem!
ReplyDeleteSo much uncertainty. Hang in there. Things have a way of working out for the best in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think fighting the system is a job for young people. But you'd think they'd give older people a break on the deposit ... not because we're old, but because we're more reliable.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute and chill, we do well to follow their examples. I hope your upcoming move works out well.
ReplyDeleteOh, the limbo of not knowing things is what gets to me the most. Fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteFeeling your frustration! "The system" is maddening. You're wise to roll with it. No sense in hurting yourself over something you can't control. May God work things out for you. Buddy knows his mommy is taking care of him. That's enough for him. Oh, to be able to think like Bubby. Take care, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to stay calm in the midst of such uncertainty so I admire you for making the effort and Buddy, too, for setting the example.
ReplyDeleteThey really get you with the pet fee's. I hope this all works out for you; I'm sorry you're having to move and losing monies.
ReplyDeleteI think you should keep bugging the old owners about the moving package. They may think if they ignore you, you will go away. Squeaky wheel usually works. Hoping it all works out for you.
