It's Raining Apartments - Hallelujah!

Yesterday, to pass time away while I was at the GNIB, I decided to make a call to a letting agent and make a deal on an apartment. This apartment could not be closer to the hotel where my company has our project based. It is literally right across the parking lot. We talked and I didn't get a great deal on the price, but it was within my budget. More importantly, I got a 3-month break clause so that if I need to return home after 3 months, I won't lose my security deposit.

Now, to bring the audience up to date, I had called a lady last Friday to make on offer on her apartment, but she said that she had already let it out. I got a call from her last night at 10pm (I was being anti-social and was already in bed) saying that she couldn't rent to those people. They didn't tell her they had a dog and the apartment complex doesn't allow pets.

So now here's my conundrum. I liked the lady's apartment better than the letting agents'. It's cheaper, but further from the hotel. It's also better furnished and closer to the shops.

The one that's close is a basic apartment, I wasn't thrilled with it. However it is very convenient. And the letting agent would probably be easier to work with than a landlord that is living abroad.

Decisions, decisions, decisions . . .
