The rental application went into the mail today. I spoke with my prospective landlord, and he said if he gets the application in hand by 10 am Friday, he will have an answer for us by 5 pm Friday. Otherwise, we’ll hear back on Monday.

I really want this place. Despite the hell of moving, despite the cost of moving, despite what I’m sure will be pure misery in the moving-out cleaning of this house I’m in…I want the townhouse. I want the extra bathroom; I want the hardwood floors; I want the decent neighborhood!

My rental history is damned good, the background checks will be a breeze…but my credit record is, shall we say, not unblemished. Trying not to get my hopes up too high… *sigh*

It would just be so cool to live next door to the World’s Best Ex (even if he never updates his LJ) and the Deranged Redhead. After all, if there’s a loud party going on next door, I won’t be calling the cops, I’ll be sidling over and drinking the booze!
