I just got off of the phone with the landlord's husband, and we agreed that I would drop off a cheque for October's rent of $1,500 sometime after work today. Apparently they live about five minutes away from where we are. I told him this would be find and a 'good faith' gesture as we don't have a signed lease. He agreed that we would 'pretend' that October was a month-to-month scenario until we have the opportunity to sit down and chat next month.
Jordan and I are going to go check out a 'back up' place this weekend, just in case things don't work out - but I am getting the feeling that they will.

Few things are worse than negotiating with landlords. I have my fingers crossed for you. Remember to check out the landlord/tenant law in Alberta so you know your rights re: pets, insurance, rent increases, etc.
ReplyDeleteI hope things work out for you!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds annoying that the wife says one thing about the rent cheque and the husband says another!
