Why did I torture myself about this apt?

[redredwine]

Oh that sucks!!!! I had that happen to me when I started looking last year...looked too early and found a great place. Wasn't meant to be.

I'd check out terminating your lease early...even if it's one month early, would that help?! Sounds like a great place that may be tight to have two rents for a month, but worth it long term!

I'm sorry. I just signed my lease at the beginning of the month, and apartment hunting here sucked too. I had the luxury of being able to move out whenever I wanted though (Monday!), so that's a lot different. I hope the building manager can help you. If they can rent it again quickly, they might be willing to work with you.

Maybe you can work out something with the other landlord? I hope so! Or your landlord. Fingers crossed!

I hope it works out.  If the new place is $600 less a month, then maybe it'd be worth breaking your lease??
ETA: maybe you can help them find a new tenant?

eta2: or can you sublet?

If you love it and can swing the extra payment, I would do it. Chances are it may not be that much to terminate your lease a month early either.

If you can swing the extra cash, it may be worth it to move in 2 months early. It
sounds like a great price overall and meets other needs. I would check it out and see if you still love it otherwise.

But the extra $600 savings would more then even out even with paying double rent for 2 months, right?*

I think if you love it you should try to swing it. Just my opinion though.


*ETA: meaning over the course of the year would you still end up saving money over what you pay now?

[polarbearfans]

Maybe the people renting will love you so much they hold the apartment for you or give to a huge break in rent that first month

Whatever's happens, whether it is this apartment or not, you will find an awesome place

If it helps, from the day I started seriously looking for apts to the day I signed my lease was less than two weeks. I was stalking craigslist for a couple months before, but that was more to get an idea of the market.

If you end up letting it go, don't be afraid of the shorter time frame.

Have you seen the place in person yet? Photos can be seriously deceiving!

Is it in hipster town?
