Finally, today, I went to look at the apartment on the third floor in that building I looked at earlier this month. Except, there isn't one available on the third floor anymore, for some reason. Maybe someone else rented it, maybe the current tenant(s) decided to renew the lease, or maybe the landlord is just an idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about. Either way, he tells me on the phone that, "There is one on the second floor." Okay, fine.

We set up a time meet this afternoon and look at this second floor apartment. I get there and he proceeds to show me the same basement suite he showed me last time. I tell him that he's already shown me this. He says he doesn't remember seeing me before. This is fine, he probably sees a few dozen people a week looking for apartments, so I understand that he might forget my face. The thing that bugged me is that he can't show me the apartment on the second floor, despite having said he would on the phone, because the current tenants have not moved out yet. He said to call back mid-next week. This kind of pissed me off, since it was a big waste of my time. But, it wasn't a total waste, because having gone back to the building, with a couple of weeks to think about it, I don't know what I loved so much about it the first time. Sure, the location is good, but the building itself is actually kind of crappy. And the apartment will probably be way too small for two people (since Ashley will probably be moving in with me in October). Basically, I don't like it.

However, I found another place in the Renters Guide magazine today. It advertised as having 1 or 2 bedroom suites. The ad had been running for a few days (weeks?) by the time I called, so there were no 1 bedrooms left. Though I don't really want a two bedroom, I asked about the rent anyway, out of curiosity, and was told that it is $600 a month--including all utilties except for power. So, the cost, with power, would probably be around $650, since I don't use much power, and, well, it's an apartment, even if I was a massive power hog, I don't see how I could run up a bill of more than $100. So, basically, I'm estimating that it would cost $650 a month to live there. It's relatively close to the other place I looked at, but actually a bit closer to the downtown core, which I like, and which will be good for Ashley since she works downtown and will be going to school downtown in the fall.

Basically, what I'm saying is that the rent is fucking amazing for a 2-bedroom in that location (unless it turns out to be even smaller than the over-priced place I live in currently). Hell, that price is good for a 2-bedroom just about anywhere in the city (unless, again, it turns out to be ridiculously small). And, I've done a rough budget estimate, and I can afford it--even if Ashley doesn't end up moving in. If she does, obviously it will be easier to afford, since we will both be contributing financially, but even if she changes her mind, or we break-up, or something, I can still afford it. And, really, since I know it will be a few months before we're living together, I have to look for what I can afford without her, right?
