So I called our paartment office to verify that we did not have to worry about rent for this coming August. She affirms, then I ask to renew our lease for another year. This is where it gets a bit dicey. She says fine then says rent is due on the 1st. Pardon?!? I thought we got the last month of our lease for free, yes but the stipulation blah blah blah blah. Essentially we had to pay our rent a month in advanced to get this place, no big deal, though Im wondering is renewing your lease really renewing your lease? I've always thought you start brand spanking new with your new lease contract. I never thought as they are saying here that it's the same rental contract, just extented. Anyways I have a total of like $200 in my hands for rent that is due in 3 days. I would opt for month to month or even just paying for a half prorate so I can find a new place to live, but all of this would require money we don't have. Because by the agents definition we have to pay by the 3rd for what ever we decide. I think I might get my 30 day notice ready just in case. That will just take a whole bunch of time and patience I don't have. So now we have no car, we potentially have no place to live and we need to find our new place on a major bus route, yet close enough so I can continue to bike to work. I just don't get it, Im stressed, and just can't seem to catch a fucking break!
