    I hate apartment hunting. We found one tonight and I'm pretty sure it's awesome, like it's as good as it gets and it fulfills all our requirements, so I think it's great, but I'm so incredibly unsure and hesitant that it's undermining my ability to make a proper decision. -____-

    It just has to do three things
    1. Meet your expectations.
    2. The landlord has to not give off a douchebag vibe in even the slightest way.
    3. It has to be reasonably priced.

    Else no matter what you will always find something down the line that you don't like about it, but it's not like you're marrying the apartment. This is no perfection to find. You won't find that artsy loft in the warehouse district rented with full amenities, decent utilities, and ridiculously low price. God knows I've searched.

    Does everyone just rent flats now? I've been looking around, but I'm worried after a few months the landlord would go "oh, i found some dude who wants to buy the place, you've got 3 months to clear out. peace" and i'd be out of a home.

    Buying seems like the good investment, but goddamn I cannot handle a mortgage right now

    Depending on the language of the lease the new homeowner would have to adhere to the agreements of a lease, or the existing owner would have to. Since they don't want to get into legal battles the homeowner will probably start trying to sell the home closer to the lease expiration date, but will inform you of doing so.

    At that point it may be 3 months or 2 months or 1 or whatever, but you are coming to the end of your lease terms anyway so if you plan accordingly you should be prepared for a lease term end.

    Of course once you move to month to month all bets are off, but if you talk to the landlord and are on good terms, chances are he might generate the security deposit on move out day so that you have money for the deposit for the next place. He might also write you a letter of recommendation which is valuable for approval.

    Of course on a month to month with a dick of a landlord (they have up to 30 days to return your depost and will wait till the last day, with it gouged), than you probably still have legal rights to stay in your place for a time, but will have to fight a court battle. Courts (in the states anyway) usually are lenient to the tenants so long as they aren't dicks, and more so in the colder seasons.

    In my case the only reason I rent and not own is not because of money but because of credit. I have such terrible credit that I can't get a home loan, yet my rent is the equivalent to what most people pay for a decent sized house mortgage. If I had the credit score I'd probably be paying less owning than i do renting (taxes and insurance included).

    So it has this, but I'm waiting for the landlord to get in touch with the current tenants to contact me so I can have some questions answered. I'm really worried about the family that'll be moving in upstairs while we'd be renting out the basement suite. They have 2 younger kids 7 and 12, and there are hardwood floors, all of this makes me very paranoid. :| It's a cute place but this could totally fucking suck.

    Do they have basement apartments in the states? I can't remember, I feel like it's not allowed or something, but they can be pretty nice if they're not totally cave-like as they tend to have a lot of character and feel very homey. I was in one that had an awesome location and amazing backyard, but oh god the spiders.

    Just talked to the tenant and it sounds awesome, wooooo.

    Unless you can get someone to go upstairs and yell and stomp around then I wouldn't be sure that it will work out. Living with people above you is awful and I'll never do it again.

    I don't draw but does a routine of cold packs, acetomorhine, or possibly eczema lotion if it's a skin specific thing help reduce symptoms so that you can draw normally?

    Its very localized and has more to do with venting and the availability of multiple exits. Generally they're taboo but that doesn't stop most anyone.

    I'll try icing it more. I've tried icing and not using it as much but writing/typing and using it are pretty much unavoidable.

    So as previously said I'm working on a webcomic right now. Is there a magic day of the week where everyone will be reading webcomics?
    The most undirected web traffic happens on Wednesdays, so maybe that day? Or do too many webcomics update wednesdays? Am I putting too much thought into this?
