wherein Liz has a new apartment!
Jun. 1st, 2009 11:02 amI have a new place to live! Okay, so I haven't signed the lease yet -- that's for tomorrow morning -- but I have a verbal agreement with my new landlord, which means the rest is technicalities.
This apartment is one of four in a building near Fall Creek Cinema, which means it is only one block from the Fall Creek laundromat, about a ten minute walk from the P&C grocery store, and maybe a twenty-five minute walk to the Commons. It's on the ground floor, with a private entrance and small deck/porch at the back of the house. Inside, it has a large kitchen with a breakfast nook, a large bathroom, a bedroom, a living room, and two other smallish rooms that can be repurposed as necessary. (One will become my computer room; the other will be some combination of library and guest room.) Some rooms are carpeted, but the living room has a hardwood floor that I will probably cover with area rugs, as I did for my current apartment.
The plan is for my parents to come up on Friday the 12th, rent a truck, load it, and hopefully leave it in Mr. and Mrs. B's driveway overnight. Then we unload my furniture and stuff into my new place on Saturday the 13th. So I will be paying a pro-rated June rent on the new place, because I won't be living there for the whole month. Then I will use the next week or so to finish sorting and moving the small stuff out of my current apartment, and cleaning it within an inch of its life.
I think I shouldn't have to pay June rent on my current apartment, since I paid the standard last month's rent when I moved in. I also need to talk to Mr. and Mrs. B about getting my damage deposit back when I move out. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my copy of my 2005-2006 lease, so I am trying to reconstruct these transactions from my checkbook registers. *frown* (Clearly, I need to be more organized about important paperwork. Which reminds me, I need to create a folder for my dental bills and related documents. Bother.)
But anyway, details schmetails. I have a new apartment! I will not be homeless in July!
*dances*
