My mother has had a very busy weekend that’s crossed over into the week. She’s showed her house several times to potential buyers and some seem rather promising. She’s also made a trip to the DMV to get the boat and trailer legal, or to at least find out what it takes. She will likely just get a two week tag for the tip down here on the trailer, as that will save having to transfer it from Michigan to Tennessee or something.
She called down here to an apartment complex that she really liked and talked to the Owner (Tracy I believe). The lady said that they have two people that will likely be moving out in the next month or two. The first is a couple that I guess are looking for something bigger then the current two bedroom place they have now. It’s got 13,000 square feet, two rooms, a large bath, and a Jacuzzi.
The other come coming up belong to an old lady that’s likely lived too long. She complains about EVERYTHING and expects the land lord to fix things that are hers (like her toaster). The landlord has had enough and has raised her rent (which was the first hike the lady had in years, when all the others went up). At any rate the lady is refusing to pay the difference so will likely be gone at the end of next month.
My Mom will need to pay $550 – $600 depending on which one she gets (or which one is available). She’ll need to sign a one year contract to show interest in staying, after the year it converts to a month by month agreement. That’s a bonus! The lady also told my Mom that her and Norm could put up a privacy fence if they got one of the outside duplexes, and that gardens, bird feeders, and the like were all fine and dandy so long as they were not intrusive to the neighbors.
My mother passed along her number, but will likely also give her mine. If something comes up we’ll be called, and likely need to run over and get paperwork and whatnot. If my Mother does get the place she’ll be nearly dead center between here and Shannon’s house which is roughly a five minute dive in either direction. I think She’ll enjoy that…
