top five reasons i won't rent your apartment.*

1. All the windows face brick walls.
2. The bedrooms have no windows.
3. The bedrooms are underground.
4. I would only walk home alone at night if I was carrying mace and a large heavy object.
5. Any of the above, at a price I still can't afford.

*Based on real events. (Kill me now.)

8pm update: We saw an apartment we love! In a great location! For the right price! Everyone pray that we are approved. I'm serious -- PRAY.

  1. I always fantasize about better homes, but every time I actually move, I remember how moving is the worst thing in the world, second only perhaps to being stuck in an airport indefinitely.

  4. Reasons why apartments for affordable prices in great area's might be problematic:
    1) 5 story walk up
    2)Right above a bar
    3)You can feel the subway through the floor boards
    4) A family of 6 lives next door and has a crying baby that you hear through the walls
    5) The bedroom entrance will be limited when a bed is placed in the room..
    any other suggestions.....
