Apartment Hunting… Yuck
One of my friends used to have the apartment we are in. She moved when the upstairs neighbors got out of hand, and they were friends of the landlord’s wife, who was handling the property at the time, so never complained or told them why she moved. Since then, the landlord kicked his wife out of things. When she happened to notice the apartment was vacant, knowing I was looking and it met my specs, she referred me. In the meantime, she’s been renting a great little house in the area for not much more than the apartment costs, for much more space. I kept telling her let me know if for some reason she moved, so we could have a shot at it.
Sadly, the house landlord’s son snagged himself a wife and kid and needs it, so she has to move by April 30. Yuck, moving. So she asked me if there was any chance Slacker Dude and Company upstairs might be moving so she could rent the place above us. That would rock!
Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. Slacker Dude has no plans to move, though he is currently unemployed. Which makes it amusing that he has become more slack than normal, completely failing to shovel the steps or walk after the snow prior to yesterday’s.
They have a place in Dedham she might be interested in that I passed along, and they’ll keep her in mind if they have anything else in the meantime or hear of something. She was one of their favorite tenants.
I’d thought in the past that it would be cool to have one of my friends in the other apartment. It’d be all the cooler to have the one who used to live here. I’ll be crossing my fingers that the Slacker Brigade has a change of heart and moves in time.
