Apartment Update

So picture this:  Wes and Jaime arrive at Potomac Towers Complex, practically skipping, excited to sign the lease for our first place together (camera in pocket).  They knock excitedly on the landlord's office door, enter and say, "Hi Susan, we're here to take care of the paperwork!"  Susan's reply:  "The jacka$$ tenant who's unit you are supposed to take has decided he would rather stay" (at least that's what we heard her say). 

"Wait, what?"

So, just like that we're back in limbo.  Basically, the current tenant provided notice in writing, so technically the lease terms hold him to the notice; however, the management company would have to pursue legal action to make any real movement if he's not willing to cooperate, which could take months...grrrrr.  Luckily, the company is trying to work with us, so we should hear back today about some alternative options if this guy is going to be a tool.  So far the alt. options include:  renting a handicap unit temporarily until another unit becomes available, renting a handicap unit permanently, taking another smaller unit for the beginning of October, or waiting to see what else pops up for October, once September arrives (they require 30 days notice if planning to vacate).  All good things are worth waiting for, right?

...as we learn more!
