Mistake to ever move to this apartment!

So Jaren and I have been talking about finding a better, cheaper place to live for quite some time and then we started to pray about it and think things over. Well, we found a place! It is a duplex, with a fenced yard!! It's 2 bedroom, 1 bath with stackable washer & dryer, and a dishwasher. The rent is $725 UTILITIES INCLUDED!! All we have to pay for is trash, which is not bad. We met with the guy today and looked at the place. It is bigger than where we are right now! Of course one bedroom is really small, as the guy said more of an office, but all I could see was that it was perfect for the baby's nursery, as there's room for the office stuff in the living room (which is huge). It's a really cool place and we told the guy that we are going to get it. Both Jaren and I had a wonderful feeling about it! The kind where you know it's right. :)

Seems great right? Well that part does at least. We went to the office to get a copy of our lease to see if we could see some loopholes or something. Yeah none. We were told when we moved in that if we were to leave early that it would be the last months rent as a severance. Well we were informed today that you have to give 60 DAYS NOTICE for that to be the case. We have the money to pay the severance fee. We don't have the money to pay November, December AND the severance rent. It's so ridiculous. Even though we asked them to fix our screen which was "fixed" with a too small screen that falls out, even though there are TONS of bugs that are in the house even after they sprayed but wouldn't spray again, even after I inform them that our neighbors are throwing cigarette butts into our patio and playing their music to 2 in the morning disrupting my much needed sleep, even after our car gets broken into and our radio stolen and the fact that I no longer feel safe here, even after all that yeah not gonna budge no matter what. How dumb. I understand that you have to have some set rules when managing a place this big, but with everything that's been going on, you'd think they'd at least waive the 60 days notice thing.

So now we have posted an ad on Craigslist to sublease our apartment, since it's the only option we have right now. On Craigslist they have a housing wanted section too, so I emailed a couple people there who are looking for a place. I'm just so ready to move out of here and be in a real neighborhood (2 blocks away from the UCA also!) I'm so done with big management places who have no compassion and who trick people into moving into a place (long story).

Anyway, that's my rant for now. I'm mad that we ever moved here. And the only reason we did was because we felt bad for the people we were staying with that they had to put up with us! The new place is also better kept up than our apartment. They just put in brand new windows, there is a central heating system so you don't have to turn the heat in each room on individually, there's a yard (Hope will LOVE it), no pet deposits, no pet rent, more storage space than this apartment, only 1 other person to worry about and we were told he's very friendly and easy going.

So we are excited. Probably Jaren more than me because our deal was that if he found a place and did all the contacting and setting up of things, then he could quit the paper route after Christmas (and the bonuses of course lol) Plus since we'll be saving about $115 on rent, and he just started manager pay ($3 raise), we can afford to quit it so I can have my happy, not tired all the time husband back!!

So that's our happy news right now. If everyone could just please pray that we can sublease our apartment before December 1, that would be awesome!! We are moving the middle of November.
