My lease is up soon and my rent will increase from $1585 per month to just over $1800. That’s a big jump.

I went and looked at two places today. One I already eliminated. It was too small and too overpriced.

I looked at a second property, another apartment and absolutely loved it. I also loved the price, just over $1400 a month for a one bedroom and only slightly smaller than what I have now.

So, I applied and I’ll see if I’m approved and if so, I may move before the end of the month.

It’s a great layout, the bedroom is larger than my current bedroom, I would be able to fit my desk in there for the rare times when I went to use my computer. Everything I have will fit which is great.

It has surface parking but that’s ok, I can handle shoveling the snow off the vehicle and I do have a remote starter so it’ll be warm within minutes.

I should know if I’m approved by the end of the week and then I’ll solidify plans.

It’s in the NW of Calgary, slightly west of where I am currently living so it’s a great area. We’ll see anyway.
