[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 739772, member: 23103"] I have to say..I am amazed at how hard it is to find an apartment and to qualify! A few months ago when our son was looking they all wanted at least 1 year stable employment, minimum income, credit rating over 650, back ground check. Plus a minimum of a 50.00 application fee. The place he and his girlfriend wanted required a hefty security deposit plus the rent. Son asked me to help with the security and 1st month rent--I thought he had to be making up the price..nope. I called the management company and spoke to the person in charge of the complex. She asked why he was moving out of home with us. I said we were downsizing (I thought --none of your business) that seemed to satisfy her. I asked about the security and rent --confirmed the amount and asked if it is ok for me to get her a cashiers check for the amount. She was surprised I would do that..she asked if I wanted to co-sign.. I said, "No, it isn't necessary they meet all of your criteria. I would of if I HAD to but I preferred to keep this on their own. Do you have any family near a place that he can get a job and he can stay with? I know it is a lot to ask people. I hate to see someone in if semi-fragile state stay in a place where there may be others using. I just want as many of them to survive and thrive as possible. I am still helping mine to make it. It isn't taking much for me to do it, He doesn't constantly have his hand out and it is less and less. I am slowly cutting the stings..he is only 21. His dad is still very wounded/betrayed by the things he did. I haven't forgotten or completely forgiven but I know he was involved is some light drugs (pot) and he isn't anymore (he can't afford it) It is hard to give suggestions when I have no idea where you live. If you want to pm me I would help you search. I am pretty good at searching. [/QUOTE]
