There's slow going in the streets.
It's slow navigating the blizzard of documentation that dominates my (to date - 6 month) attempt to acquire an apartment.
Where is the snow plow for clearing your emotional landscape?
Rhonda Hansome posts this blog on Thursdays. She accepts responsibility for the contents of this blog and all her really stupid life choices that make her cry daily. No sympathy needed, just a 1 bedroom apartment for under $1000 a month with no request for financial documentation. Yeah, right. In her snowplow dreams!
I find the plow for the emotional landscape to be baby spoon sized.
ReplyDeleteSlow going with a spoon that size... Love you Mindy
DeleteFinding what you want is tough, but you might improve your odds if you try to rent an apartment in a private home. No lease to sign, seldom formal paperwork. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary for your concern & suggestion. It's low documentation required, but anytime the owner had a relative in need, I'd be subject to eviction, or if it was in my price range, there are legions who can & will pay more especially in Bklyn. Who new to qualify for "affordable" housing I'd need to generate 10- 20 thousand more than I do? Fingers crossed.
