Renting Again - Blech!

Well, as many know, we are having to rent for 3 months while we wait for our house to be finished.

Our landlord actually was in the progress of purchasing this place when we looked into renting it! It is a cute little Acadian style house. And we even lucked out with getting a back yard for Samara! Bub just has to put boards down to keep her from escaping under the house!

Our impression of our landlord is not the best though! I scheduled a time to meet her on the 31st, to give her our rent check and to get the keys from her. Rent is technically not late until the 6th, but since we were meeting with her, I figured it would just be easier. I asked her not to cash it until the first, which is when Bub got paid. Well, she cashed it on the 31st and over drafted our account. Costing us $105 in fees. I immediately called her telling her I asked her not to, why did she do it when she said it was fine. (keep in mind, I was paying early anyways!) All she could say was she was sorry! Oh and she didn't believe me. She said she'd have to talk to her assistant to see if she really did cash the check! I am less than impressed as of yet! If I didn't need to be in this place, we would definitely get our money back and tell her to kiss off!!

Anyways, at least the little 2 bedroom house is cute. I guess if we have to rent, even for a little while, we can do it in style! lol The house is on a private little road with 5 other acadian style houses. Oh and it's on Holmes Street. I seriously cannot saying it without using my "vato" voice! LOL

So here it is. Our humble abode for the next 3 (hopefully less) months.
