i got a call from my real estate broker on sunday afternoon at work.
"I have some really bad news," he said.
my heart sunk. he went on to tell me that the owner of the brownstone did an about face and has decided to rent the place to his sister. yes, i signed the lease. yes, i forked over all my money. but because i did not yet have the contract back in my hands, i have no legal ground to stand on and we lost the apartment. my broker says in the 4 years he's been working, that this has never happened.
i am beyond heartbroken.
if you have never lived in nyc and gone through the process of trying to rent an apartment here, it's super hard to explain how shitty a process it is. i am feeling really pushed back - like i want to sit alone for a week and feel sorry for myself. but there is no time. i have to keep looking. suck it, asshole landlord. i didn't want to live in your stupid apartment anyway. :'(
