Impish Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 God has a sense of humour. Something's come up, which means that no, we're not going to be staying in the mobile, so now we're searching for a rental in the nearest large city (1.5 hrs away). ARGH! Just when I've resigned myself...It's time to scramble and put new plans into place. So, if folks wouldn't mind praying yet AGAIN for us, that we can find a rental at an affordable price, that will allow both kids AND pets, it would be appreciated. Sorry to be so needy lately. Things just keep coming at us at the speed of light, and we're basically feeling like we're dancing on the edge of a sword, while juggling explosives.

Thanks, :lol: thanks for all the responses. Wolf and I at this point are just shaking our heads, and laughing, b/c what's the alternative? To run screaming into the night, or curl up in the fetal position somewhere. And, since we have kids, that's just not allowed. SunnyDays, my goal is to have a boring life. God's just not agreeing w/that :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks everyone. Going to see 2 places this aft. We're a bit leery. Neither of the places is being shown by the owner. One place, the owner is out of province, and the guy showing it seems to be a total dipstick...couldn't cough up the address when first asked, "I know where it is, how to get there..." but had to fumble for the addy. Other guy is showing it for his parents. Just a bit leery, b/c you hear of scams all the time, and that's sooooooo not what we need (not that anyone does!). So, praying for discernment.

Other guy is showing it for his parents. Just a bit leery, b/c you hear of scams all the time, and that's sooooooo not what we need (not that anyone does!). So, praying for discernment. I'd ask the first guy for the owner's number to confirm that he is having someone show it for him. The second guy I would question him like crazy when I went to see it. You can't be too careful. Out here I can look up property records so I always double check all information, ask too many questions, etc. The place we are in now, :lol:, people here would have a heart attack on how we got it. We called the guy, he did not know the address (yes seriously). We got directions and came to look at 2 of the apartments. We did our walkthroughs and he asked if we wanted them. I told him that I had to discuss with my SO. My sister, on the other hand, wrote him a check for rent plus deposit and BAM! place is hers. No lease, no background check, nothing. Only after she handed him a check and drove away did she question if he was really the owner/landlord. :lol: Don't worry the story thankfully has a happy ending and it wasn't a scam (and we got the other apartment with no lease and no background check as well). I did go home and research the place before we agreed to rent though. :tongue_smilie: Out here in rural Iowa people seem really trustworthy. An older farmer doesn't appear to be a scam artist I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just a hint about looking for rentals, in my experience if I bring our pet with us (with owners knowing of course) to the showing, if said pet is well behaved some owners will let you have your pet even if they said no pets in the ad. (But then again we only had a cat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldberry Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 what's the alternative? To run screaming into the night, or curl up in the fetal position somewhere. And, since we have kids, that's just not allowed. I have many days where the only thing stopping me from doing those things is the fact that I have a child I am responsible for!
