just wanna find a good rental house
Trying to find a house to move into has been so exhausting, dude. So long story, Cody and I got our first place in August of 2019. It was a cute little duplex. 2 bed, 1 bath, washer and dryer, spacious kitchen and living room (which we didn't even utilize at all), dishwasher. Everything you needed. It wasn't super fancy, it was pretty basic but it fit what we needed it for. At the time, we had our bedroom and then the spare bedroom was mostly for Cody to set up his little gaming nook. He had wildly more stuff than I did so I didn't mind giving up that extra space at the time. He ended up getting me a desk and we were both gonna share that space. We were paying $900 a month and that included all the utilities. It was damn near perfect. In April, he broke up with me. We were navigating still living together while broken up because neither of us really had a place to go. I decided at the time that it would be a lot easier for him to find a place because he makes more money than I do. He asked me if his friend could use the spare room to work from home if he paid us a little bit of rent money. His friend was moving with his kid and his wife and doing renovations on the house and ever since covid hit, he moved to start working from home and he needed quiet because he was training. I didn't end up able to sign the lease myself because the landlord decided she wanted to sell the unit after our 1 year lease was up. Cody moved into an apartment and I rented out a room from my friend and her husband and 2 kids who just bought a house. I basically never stayed with them because Cody and I were still inseparable. His apartment was a bit of an upgrade in some ways. We went from 2 beds 1 bath to 3 beds 2 bath. There were still some shortcomings. We were still broken up so while I was staying there most of the time, I didn't actually move in for a while. All my stuff still was at my friend's house where I was paying rent and had a room. Most of my other stuff like all the kitchen things I owned and stuff, that all went to my mom's. When Cody moved in, there was the master bedroom for himself, his gaming room and the spare bedroom went to his friend who made the move with him to continue working from home but now they didn't have to split one bedroom. His friend had his own space, Cody had his own space and despite us working things out and getting back together, I didn't have my own space. Cody also ended up getting a dog... in a place with no yard for her. She's hella hyperactive. So now, our lease is up and I don't really want to stay here but there really aren't any options around us for rentals that have everything we need. The only other option is to move into his parent's house and take over his old bedroom. We can't do that though because they can't have the dog there. We need a spacious enough place, preferably 3 bed 2 bath with the amenities and most importantly, a fenced backyard for our dog to run around in and actually have a space of her own as well. I finally want a room to myself for when I need to do work or game or just be alone. I don't want his friend to make the move with us. It's been a few years now and he needs to go back to his own house or idk.. Finding something else. But there's literally no freaking rentals here.. Like at all. We jumped on a duplex that had literally everything we needed and within a day it was sold. The site didn't even have any photos so I'm not sure how they managed that one. ugh. All I can say is UGHHHH.
