[QUOTE="klmno, post: 383370, member: 3699"] Well you all know how my life goes- never as planned and things change daily. LOL! I drove around this morning to get a paper to check ads- only one listed that had potential and I had to leave a VM for a company. So I drove to look at both my options and thru each of those neighborhoods again and had just about decided to do as boss suggested and just get the tiny 1 BR. But I was really wishing I had an "in between" option. Then my phone rang- it was the guy with the pet friendly place that I spoke to last Thurs and it sounded perfect but they turned around and said nope- someone who looked at it last week just called and told them they would take it. Anyway, they never showed up with the deposit like they committed to so he's done waiting on them. He asked if I wanted to see it still. I looked at it and it's in between. I am waiting on him to get back to me to see if he'll do an 11 mo lease. Here's the deal with this one- rent is in between the first two options- that's ok- utilities will run in between as well. It's 2 BR but not as big as the house (this is a duplex) but will accommodate difficult child upon hiis return to me. It has a wife, with-D, and a koi-ie fenced yard but it will do for the most part and say once a day, I can take dogs for leash walk down the street. I don't mind that- it's leashwalking EVERY time they need to "tinkle" that gets old real quick with me. It's in a bad sd so I would want to move before school starts- however- I won't be on a 6 or 9 mo lease in a 1-BR place, requiring me to move BEFORE difficult child is released. So difficult child can help me and this time, difficult child and I will be moving up, assuming things go well, instead of to worse conditions like we were facing this past summer. It will give me about a month for me to see how difficult child is doing this time- if he's going to try or not. This is all going by his projected release date which can change if he doesn't do well in there but I will have those answers and can make decisions based on that next summer. If I get the 1-BR, then move to a good sd/area that has 2 BR which will surely cost more, then difficult child comes home and isn't even trying again, I would resent having just signed another lease when he'll no doubt be recommitted in no time again. IOW, if difficult child is trying next summer and the job is going well, we can make that move together right before school starts. If he isn't and we're headed for the revolving door again, I'll just extend the lease with the landlord and stay in this one. The PO will have no issue because it's a 2 BR place. It's 1/2- 1 mile from work so hopefully boss will be happy. (This is the place that supposedly has an inexpensive pet-sitter down the street.)
