Apartment Living

I hate apartment living. Hate isn't even a strong enough word. Last evening the hubby and I realized that this place has us in a pickle, and we aren't liking it. We had planned on taking a 3 month lease, after our lease expires the end of this month. He should be done with his rotations, and we could get out of here by the end of March. However, our apt. complex wants longer leases, so unless we take out a minimum of a 9 month lease, we will probably have to pay "Market Rate" i.e $950 PLUS $100/month "Month to Month" fee, PLUS our $50 for garage, PLUS $30 pet fee!!!!!

It just burns me b/c they have open apts all over this place, and we could probably find a long term stay hotel for much cheaper than that! We are good tenants, and yet they may put us in a situation that we can no possibly afford. So they would rather not get any rent, than give us a deal??? I am going to talk to the soon to be new manager on Thursday afternoon, and hopefully she will give us a deal. Otherwise, anyone want to help us move in January!? Fun, fun, fun.....
