Landlord gold
We're now champing at the bit, wishing we could move into the new place NOW. *sigh* 5 months. Oh well. At least we know it's ours! I handed over the rental application and the deposit yesterday, got a receipt for the deposit, and the new landlord will be mailing out the lease for us to peruse on Monday. He also told me we could go back in and take pictures and measurements of the place whenever, as long as we gave him a day or two to warn the current tenant. So I guess I will have pictures to show everyone! Yay! ^_^ And measurements, which will be nice for Gabe and I to figure out what we can and can't take with us...what needs to go, where things can be placed, how much will fit in the closets, and what sorts of new furniture we'll need.... (I'm already making plans for one of those wonderful rolling island countertops in the kitchen..you know the kind I mean, right? And a computer desk. A REAL computer desk. Something small...I found a folding one on Target.com! woot!
Oh right, landlord gold! So when I was talking to the new landlord yesterday, I asked about whether the apartment was wired for a landline and whether we could get a dish (yes to both), and he asked if I was planning on getting a Mediacom package. I told him NOT mediacom, but Qwest, whose package includes DirecTV dish service with their DSL and phone package, and that we were mostly doing it for the DSL. He told me to hold off on that, because he's already planning on getting a wireless broadband router installed in a centralized apartment in that house, so that everyone in the house will have wireless internet access. I asked if that would raise the rent, and he said, "Well, no, I've already told everyone what their rent is going to be next year. That wouldn't be right to change it. So we'll do it for free this year, and if it works out, then maybe next year I'll charge for it!" What an awesome guy :D
So anyway....going to the gym. *poof*
