No one is willing to give us a six-month lease. We called about a duplex in our neighborhood but the guy wanted a 12 month lease, $2700 security deposit and $1350/month for rent. Seriously????? The security deposit turned me off. That would have meant $4000 before we could even live there. Security deposit and one month rent.
Next, I found a place on Craigslist. It looked very nice and the rent was reasonable, I guess. As reasonable as rent can be. We made an appointment and looked at it. Once again, he wanted a 12 month lease. We were noticing a pattern. We asked about the possibility of a 10 month lease. At that point this guy and his realtor really started to be jerks. They wanted us to get in a bidding war with others over the rent. No thank you!
Earlier, my Dad’s cousin had offered a rental house that they have, but it wouldn’t be ready until the end of August. I told her I would keep the offer in mind but really wanted to try to find something in Rochester for the school bus route. Well, the time had come to take her up on the offer.
