Apparently Mike and I are cursed. Every time we find a place we really like (And we LOVED that place) something happens to make it not so perfect anymore. We put down a refundable deposit and made arrangements to talk to the realtor about meeting the landlord. We call the realtor on Monday as discussed and all is going as planned when the realtor drops a line in about how he made a mistake when he had first talked to us. It turns out the apartment is more expensive than he told us. A good chunk of change more. But, he said, he was going to talk to the landlord and see what he could work out. Mike and I discussed it and we both know that even if the landlord agrees to charge us what the realtor quoted to us - the first time we had to renew our lease he'd be jacking that rent up to what he was asking originally. Since the price we were quoted was at the top of our price range (actually $50 more than the max we had agreed on) adding more rent makes it way more than we want to spend.
BUUUUUUUUUT, we have found another place we like and we're hoping nothing happens to screw this one up. Nice neighborhood, has an upstairs and a downstairs, lots of storage space...I'm almost afraid to hope. Everybody cross your fingers for us.
Peace!
