I'm sorry. I have been trying and trying to justify attending in my mind. I thought we were going to be paying a prorated first month, but they want a full first month, full last month, and a half month's deposit. We will be paying a prorated second month. I figured out moving costs today, and that pretty much sent everything over the edge. I am going to end up having to borrowe from my mother until we get settled in, which I hate doing, so there is just no way. Enough about me though, I hope everyone has a great time. I expect lots of pictures and stories.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I want pictures of the new apartment! Fair play, turnabout....

Nicole is sending me her old digital camera. As soon as I get it, there will be pictures.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That makes me sad, sj, though Deb is right, the apartment needs to come first.

Oh, ouch. But yeah, apartment comes first. We'll miss you!

full first month, full last month, and a half month's deposit.
Sadly, this is par for the course in this part of country. I've been lucky my last to places to just need 2 months up front, but 3 is not unusual, and if you're going through a realtor/rental agency it can be as much as 4 (usually you can get the deposit back if you've kept the place in the condition you rented it, but if you had to pay a fee to the agent, that's money gone bye-bye).

Yikes. I paid first plus $99 here, which really surprised me, but first plus a month's rent as security is more what I'm used to. Even better is Quebec, though, where any security deposit, key deposit, or anything above first month is illegal.
