i went to view the apartment on my way home today.
it’s a standard-issue crappy one bedroom apartment in a standard-issue crappy rental building. the kitchen is clausterphobic, but the closets are huge and the bathtub is beautiful. if i lean over the balcony railing, i can the very tops of the buildings downtown, but it’s on the north-west of the building so should be much cooler come summer. the rent is cheap and includes everything my current place doesn’t, which means that i’ll actually be paying only a couple of john a. mcdonalds more each month and it comes with secure underground parking.
i can spruce it up and make it a little nicer, i think. a couple lamps, some stuff on the walls, shower curtain… it could be nice and homey. what do you want to bet they’ll turn my application down because, get this, i make too much money?

  5. Aren’t the references meant to be like old landlords? People who can comment on your ability/willingness/history re: paying rent. Guess it’s been ages since I had to fill out one of those forms!

    they are, but what fizzgig is getting at is that his ex-landlady is also his ex-girlfriend.
