If you've read my post in the MFGG memories thread you'd know I was getting a new place. That didn't go easy though.
I checked out a nice apartment last week on Tuesday and accepted it on Wednesday only to get called a few hours later by the housing association about my landlord's written statement. Every renter at this particular association has to deliver one detailing the renter's payments and some other stuff like disturbances or police involvement. My statement claimed that I had late payments so I had to deliver a new statement before this Monday. I called up my landlord right after to explain the situation to which he said that he understood, so I figured that was all taken care of. However, I didn't hear anything from him for the rest of the week, so I tried calling him but couldn't reach him until Sunday and finally he sent a new statement a few hours later after our call that was quite clearly not filled in correctly but also still stated I had open payments. I sent a reply asking him about these late payments I've never heard anything about and even sent the bank statements that show I've paid everything on time, but got no answer.
So this Monday I called the housing association to explain the whole situation only to be told they'd call me back on Tuesday. I also called my counselor and gave her my landlord's number although she wasn't able reach him either, so that's just a dead end. The conversation I had on Tuesday wasn't very fruitful, they told me they needed a statement, I tried to explain I can't reach my landlord and that went on for some time until they decided to just call my counselor to confirm what I was saying. They had a conversation with her, she sent an e-mail and the association had a meeting yesterday to talk about my landlord situation. So just a few minutes ago they called me to tell me I'm getting the place, even without the statement, and that I can come pick up the keys next week. What a mouthful.
I'm super happy though because I finally get to move to a decent place and live close to my family and friends. I'll have to deal with the stress of moving later but for now I'm just happy to be done with the stress of not knowing if I even get to move out or what to do with my landlord. Honestly, if it didn't happen to me I'd be shocked this kind of dicking around really happens.
But at least I'm getting the keys soon!
