Apartment Hunting

The deadline is Dec. 31st. That's when I need to find a new place to live.

The lease ends that day and my roommate isn't renewing the lease...so that means I have to find a new place to live and give up my proximity to the beach for now.

I've called a real estate agent. No response yet.

I've checked the newspaper classifieds. Little help there.

I've checked various websites. Some help there.

I've only moved twice in my entire life from Boston to upstate New York and from upstate New York to New Jersey. Each was a nerve-racking experience. I live in Monmouth County now and I want to stay in Monmouth County.

The stress got so bad...I had to take a weekend getaway to New York City. I had a blast in NYC this past weekend and almost didn't want to leave. So, I'm back in New Jersey and on the apartment hunting grind.

how aboyt YOU take over the lease, homie?

Sherlon Christie said...

Nope. Time to live on my own (eventually) and this place is too small anyways.

Why don't you stay where you are???

I mean, the roommate's leaving. That doesn't mean you have to...

POPS said...

@mdubb...because the landlord isn't extending the lease and I need a bigger place.
