Still on the search for a (new) place to live. I halfway hide the word new for the reason that I might be halfway-forced into finding an apartment with the same management company for the upcoming year, and they’re nicer apartments are where I am now. Not exactly what I want to do, but I can make it work if I must.
I had found a place to live with D and S (I’m currently living with S), but the lady allowed somebody else to sign paperwork so that the place disappeared. I had told her, much to my annoyance later, that I wanted the place and once I got paid, would pay for the application fees for us all and a part of the deposit.. just to get the ball rolling. That was last Monday/Tuesday. So Friday, I find out that papers had already been signed. It’s a minimum of 2 days waiting period after applying before the background check comes back, so that means the other folks were allowed to apply Tuesday or Wednesday and sign the papers Thursday. Nobody called me to see if I still wanted the place (which would have been good form and communication), so I didn’t have a chance to tell the other folks to GTFO prior to lease signing. Not the greatest place, but the location was where it was at. That was the biggest reason I wanted the place. Closer to MSUM and Taekwondo school #1, nice for D for MSUM as well, and great for S so she could bike to NDSU this fall. Either way, the place is gone and we’re not cramming into a 1-bedroom for a year. Frick no.
So the hunt continues to find a decent place. Did find a nice townhome for 800$ a month that was everything we wanted, but.. it was signed away on Friday. Would have been great for the 3 of us in a nice spacious 2-bedroom. Good location, allowed cats, and for 800… we could swing a nice place. Plus MidConn could give us Internet/Cable. That would have been awesome (same with the last place mentioned).
So after that, nothing else has came up that is move-in-able this August so far. Prairie Property Management doesn’t have anything for 2-bedrooms this August in Moorhead anymore. Which sucks. A lived in one of their buildings for awhile, and didn’t have anything bad to say. Either way, with the circumstances, the plan of engagement is to compile a huuuuge list of apartments (possibly throw together a small website) and start looking again.
So if anybody has any decent place they know of for living in the Fargo / Moorhead area, I, S, and D would all appreciate a heads-up. You can find D and I on IRC (NFNet) as always. Drop a comment here or an email if you prefer.
Later folks and thanks for reading my ramblings.
-Matt.
As you may have noticed, I cut folks names down to a single initial. You know me… I’m Matt (obviously). But D, S, and A are friends (or more) and I decided I might as well remove their full names where I can. You can find A’s blog on the sidebar though (Drew’s Blog).
