edenfallingI 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*

Date: 2009-06-01 04:17 pm (UTC)I used to use the Fall Creek Laundromat when I lived on Yates St.--in fact, I first injured my back carrying about a ton of laundry there in two suitcases and a backpack. Ah, memories.

Date: 2009-06-02 02:27 am (UTC)I've been using Northside Laundry, on the corner of Marshall and Cayuga. It's about the same distance from my apartment as Fall Creek Laundromat, but it's on my route into town and is not in the opposite direction from the grocery store, so it's more convenient if I'm trying to combine errands. But obviously that calculation will switch once I move. (I do not carry my laundry. I have a small collapsible cart. *grin*)

One on Hancock and Second St. (which is the one I shop at), one out at East Hill Plaza (where my coworker AO has a second part-time job as a cashier), and one up in Lansing by Tops and the Ithaca Mall (formerly known as the Pyramid Mall, but they're under new management since a year or so ago).
