Temp Housing Blues
It looks like my wife and I are not on the same page for this temp housing thing. I am worried that if we do what she wants to do we will get stuck paying 3 months worth of apt rent for 2 months plus some odd days. Hmm I think I need to do a pro/con thing for both the temp housing and the apt.
See if we get an Apt we have a choice… do we live without tv, phone and internet? Or will those move with us with little problem? I guess it depends on how easy and expensive it is to move. The other thing is if our lease if from 4/15 to 6/15 and we need the apt till like the 20th because our house closing isn’t until the 20th… then we would have to pay rent on a full 3rd month on the apt. However this might be ok if the apt is cheap enough. Doing all of this also involves a lot more packing and unpacking. Oh and we would have to pay for electric, gas and water.
If we go with a temp housing thing it will run us about 850 a month. We only have to pay for the days we are here and we would have tv, phone and internet. We would not have to pay for electric gas and water. However we would have to get an extra storage unit to store our stuff in, because temp housing is furnished, this would also involve less packing. This option however will probably cost a little more. The real question is… How much more.
So now I don’t know what to do...
Oh and to top this all off... we are SCREWED if we start a lease and the folks that want to buy our condo backs out. Our inspection is this thursday so we will see where we stand after that.
