Possible move in January?
A few nights ago I posted this blog about random people knocking on my door at all hours of the night; well, it hasn’t stopped and I’m up to 5 people now. Needless to say, I’m getting tired of it and want it to stop but how that’s suppose to happen I’m not exactly sure. The property manager already knows of the situation and he knows I’m tired of it and he watches out for me but it KEEPS HAPPENING. I’ve been tempted to post a note on my door saying DO NOT KNOCK OR I CALL THE POLICE because it’s THAT annoying. Aside from the random knocks, I’m perfectly fine with where I am and my apartment but I know I could be in a safer environment than where I currently am.
So, I was looking through the rental part of the classifieds last night and noticed an ad for one of the larger apartment communities – the community I had hoped to get an apartment in to begin with. It’s right down the road from the campus, is still on the bus route and is ALL college students that live there with the exception, I’m sure, of a few households. Either way, I know that I’d feel safer living there than where I currently am so I decided to check out the site again and see if their availability list had been updated. They have a few apartments that will be available at the end of the semester around December/January, one of which is one of their newer apartments and includes a washer/dryer in the unit which would be REALLY nice. I emailed one of the leasing agents and asked her to forward me the rental prices for the one bedroom units that would be available and I’m waiting to hear back about them.
I’m hoping that rent won’t be too high for one of the apartments there as I’d have to pay the cable and electric bill separate from my rent where as the apartment I’m currently at it’s built into the rent payment so it’s a set amount each month. At the beginning of January, I won’t be so stretched for money like I am now because I’ll have my tuition refund and I won’t have to buy all the crap I needed to buy when I first moved here. I am really hoping I can get into one of the apartments – I don’t really want to move again because I HATE moving but it’s for the better for my safety.

Ooh I hope that the apartments you want are affordable and you’re able to move. You should be happy with where you live and if you’re constantly bothered, I’d be on edge too.

I definitely don’t blame you. I wouldn’t feel very safe there either.
