Hunting hunting hunting...
It's been 4 weeks since we've been hunting... apartment hunting! It is not easy... It is so stressful... It is so different from back home!
Sister needs a place for October 8th, we started apartment hunting about 4 weeks ago. Back then, we started with showing up at apartment buildings' rental office. Where ever we go they would say October is too far from now, they wouldn't know the availability for October 8th because people only give a 30-day notice. Ok, I wouldn't say we wasted our time since we got to visit a lot of place and got to compare prices.
Finally, September 8th passed and we are within one month of the target moving date. We are getting good at it. Every day, we look for deals on Craigslist.com, compile a list of potential places, call them, and visit them. Now the issue is that the places for rent are usually already vacant, so they want immediate occupancy! Ok, there's no way we can move in within few days of notice! So we lose to all the others are willing to move right away!
Now, there's only two weeks left before having to move. Hopefully the last weekend for hunting. On Saturday, we saw two decent place for $1600. One, we minded a bit for being shady and the landlord forces to charge extra $70 for electricity. The other, I minded it to have only 1 bathroom for that price. Sunday, we saw 3 more apartments. The first one was nice, it has two bedroom and two full bathroom for $1590. Then other two were cheaper: $1350 and $1250 respectively for two bedroom and one bathroom. We put in application for the last two because we wanted to go with cheaper. But that's not the end! There's one more that I want to check out... It would be at better location and even cheaper: $1200. We'll see if we can check it out tomorrow... :)
Stay tuned! Will let you know what would be the conclusion of our hunting!
