Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

When Mister Kitty and Loki pass out, they have a tendency to stretch so they are touching, just like all three cats do to me when they curl up near me. It's really fucking cute. Right now, their forepaws are entertwined.

Don't make me post alone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi!

When I lived in DC, I let me lease go month-to-month. It was awesome -- no increase, I could move when I wanted, etc.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sorry, sara, your cats sleeping with entwined forepaws has made my heart burst with cuteness, and I will not be able t post.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We baking fresh, homemade chocolate chip cookies. They are done and warm and delicious!

I love it when they're still warm & gooey.

Code blue! Sophia!

The only time my rent didn't increase was when the mgmt was in chaos and I didn't have a lease for a couplethree years. Or longer. Then there was new mgmt, and the leasing office was torched (twice) and they got back on the ball, damnit, Which reminds me: as soon as I start making offers, I need to go negotiate with them. I've been here 12 years in good (if pushy to get critical infra fixed) standing, I should be able to negotiate the same rent should I not move before June 30, when my lease expires. Seriously, the rent is $300 more without a lease. INSANE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm month to month, thankfully right now, but they still raise my rent each year. Fair enough, except I started out paying too much anyway.

Yeah, the only danger with a month to month lease is they could at any time be like "OH! By the way, next month your rent will be $X+billion!!! Kthnxbi!" Or "Sorry, we decided we don't like you, move next month! SORRY!"

Oh, my rent goes up annually. But I still have a lease.

That sounds good for what ails you, Cash.

Thanks to all the talk around here and the Current Economic Climate, I started looking at listings for (rental) apartments back in my old neighborhood, and it looks like it may be back to affordable by the time my current lease runs out in November! Serious consideration, there.
