[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 383305, member: 4264"] Okay, so let me see if I get this correctly. There is a 2 bedroom apartment for a savings of $50 per month, would work well now but require a move when difficult child returned to get proper SD. There is 1 bedroom apartment that also works well but requires a move when difficult child returns for a better SD. This house rental is at the higher end of what you wanted but in your price range. The house would need a 2 year lease but would give you free first month rent therefore freeing money for the deposit (basically the same as no deposit, just symantics, but symantics that work IN your favor because if you have to break lease the only problem is the deposit is forfeited). The house is in the right SD so you would not require another move. Let me know if I read something wrong, giving advice can be tough without also screwing up how I read things. If I'm reading it right, no part of me would hesitate a second to take the house. It's available quickly, saves you all that cash for a hotel, gets you settled right away. Allows you to not stress the bosses implication that you should be "keeping up appearances" regarding where you live. You could have a yard for the dogs and could start rebuilding furnishings and prepare a room over time for difficult child etc. You know what I would do? I would not talk about this stuff with your new boss at all. Polite answers, short and sweet and not rude at all, just lacking substance. He seems to have flip flopped and his advice conflicts. Also, I wouldn't want him to know too much about my personal life and whatnot. especially this early in a new job. I'd try to be super friendly, yet small talk type friendly, and otherwise just very professional. He seems to be honest that his offer of a rental unit could have strained things or been weird. I'd follow that tactic. Other than leaving boss out of it, I'd do what your gut says. I guess maybe I'm way off base, but I can't see it costing you any more to pay higher rent for say the next year in a house over an apartment if in another 12 months you have to go through all of this hunting again, pay moving truck, change utilities and pay deposits again etc. Unless there is a MAJOR savings to go to a smaller space, I really think the house sounds ideal. I also noticed that you mentioned the nice parts of the house, gave details but the apartments you didn't comment too much on. That is screaming to me "She reallllly likes the house". Given that they are ensuring you DO have an out if needed from the lease, I'd run (not walk) tomorrow and sign it, fork over the money, and move in asap and just start being able to settle in and set up house after such a long journey.
