I’ll make this short and sweet: WE GOT THE APARTMENT!
I can’t tell you how excited I am (especially since we had to give 30-day notice before we knew if we would get the place, because our landlord said they couldn’t release information to a potential new landlord, unless we had given notice already. Is that legal?)
Anyway, everything turned out ok, because we did get the apartment and now we only have a few days of overlapping rent responsibilities at both places, which works out perfectly. But it also means: we’ll be moving in three weeks.
I am freaking out a little bit. There is so much to do until then.
But I also can’t wait to move into a bigger and better place. It’s a bigger 1-bedroom apartment. We originally were looking for a 2-bedroom apartment, because we wanted more space and extra room where we could shut a door. We did compromise on this a little bit, because the apartment only has one bedroom.
But: the bedroom is at the very end of the apartment and in the front, there is a combined dining and living room and the front room can be closed off with a beautiful sliding french door and I just LOVE it. I can’t wait to show you pictures!
I am not sure how much I’ll be able to be around here in the next few weeks, so bear with me. I am hoping to be back to a more normal schedule after the move!

April 11, 2011 at 9:44 amOmg, congratulations!! That’s great and I can’t wait to see pictures. Although I have to say that’s a little weird that you had to give notice before releasing information to the other landlord. But that doesn’t matter now, you’ve got the place!! :)

April 11, 2011 at 10:10 amDude. I don’t think that’s legal/legit re: your landlord. I’d complain HEARTILY about that, or at least write some online reviews of the place. That’s really low.
But bad stuff aside, CONGRATS on the new place! How exciting!

April 11, 2011 at 1:37 pmOh yay – congrats! It’s going to be a crazy few weeks for you, but in some ways it’s better than to have this move hanging over your head for months. Good luck with everything and I can’t wait to see photos of your new home!

April 11, 2011 at 2:56 pmPretty sure it’s not legal what your landlord said, since I know I’ve moved from apartment to apartment and never had to deal with that. Very weird!
But…YAY! Congrats on getting the apartment and having a bigger and better place. I can’t wait to see pictures!

April 13, 2011 at 5:04 amNice dude! Congrats!!! 30 day notice is awesome! We have 3 months which makes it really hard… Your landlord sounds as illegal as ours. Haha. I think they make up their own rules! However, your moving and it is super exciting!! I love moving so I can’t wait for it myself :) hugs!!!
