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.

Since you don't have to move, that means you have time to look and find the perfect place. I know it's out there! *hug*

Yes, you can really take your time and find a place that's right for you. It sucks when you're in a rush and have to take the first place available.

I'm also with you on the bathtub thing. We spent so many years living in government housing where we don't have a choice of unit. If you refuse what they give you, they probably don't have another house for you.

I've lived in houses/apartments with bathtubs that *used* to have those sticky things on them, but they were removed, so it's all gross. In AK, our bathtub had these weird stains on it that looked like someone puked on the side of it, but you couldn't get it off. That was my personal favorite.
