I just looked at my first apartment, and BOY am I thoroughly depressed now. The price was right. It wasn't a terrible apartment, but my loveseat would have taken up every inch of space in the "living room."

I will not mention the "bedroom" or the horrendous condition of the bathtub (I've found that bathtubs are frequently deal-breakers for me. I won't rent a place where the bathtub will not ever look clean no matter how much a person scrubs it.).

The manager also helpfully showed me a studio, which will be available mid April. It was the size of my office here. For an office, lots of space. For a living area? Not so much. Oh, and the price was $800.

*whimper*

Even half knowing what to expect going into this, I'm still less than hopeful in success in the near future. Thank goodness I don't have to move.

Also, I have a terrible headache in my eye.

You'll find one that's perfect for you, both in size and price.

Hopefully! I know many, many apartments in city advertise as one bedrooms but are really just glorified studios. Anything labeled cute or coze = 200 sq. ft. or less. And pictures lie. ;)

Just got home and discovered Mr. Bigbossman decided to raise rents AGAIN (apparently his 5 year dry spell has caused a major need to makeasmuchmoneyashecanthoughhesalreadystinkinrich). While I'm sitting pretty, everyone I know and like in the building is feeling rather screwed, and for me? It's more about not wanting to be associated with management anymore.

I just don't know if it's a even trade. My soul or probably half my earnings, all said and done? Ouch.
