I Think I'm Going to Cry!

[queenoftheskies]

The new owners passed around lease notices today, which either meant they didn't get permission to convert the apartment to condos or it's going to take a while.

The DREADFUL news is that, if I sign a lease, my rent is going up $155 PER MONTH!!!

The WORSE news is that, if I DON'T sign a lease, my rent is going up $455 PER MONTH!!!

$1,250 with a lease.

$1,550 without a lease.

For a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment.

And, you know what's sad?

That's a bargain.

Sigh.

Off to cry.

What scares me is that our housing market is climbing into 1000 range for apartments here, and how the heck does ARKANSAS justify that? I remember my trips to Cali and the coworkers out there asking what I paid in rent... at the time $600 for a 3 bedroom, about 1100 sq ft. It meant a commute every day to live that cheaply, but what Californian doesn't have a commute? ;-)

Sorry to hear yours is going up... Maybe with the leases, they'll start fixing stuff? They'd just about have to, wouldn't they?
