As if things weren't rough enough lately, Evan and I recently found out that our apartment complex is going to charge us another half-month's rent to stay here until this time in November because we failed to give them a 30-day notice letting them know we were leaving at the end of our lease. The shitty thing about all this is that Evan, who was handling the whole thing since he's been living here much longer than me, DID tell them he was moving to Chicago and was under the impression that we should be good to go as far as notices were concerned, but unfortunately, they didn't see it that way.
So now I'm not moving until November 17th and will have to pay half a month's rent plus at least my share of our monthly utilities. In all honesty, even though I'm glad that this is postponing my move back in with my parents a little bit, I was kinda hoping to have been able to move in with my them back on August 1st (when our initial lease was set to expire) so that I could have been saving money to pay off my accruing debt, so staying around until late October was already a little bit of a stretch for me. Now I guess I just have to put up with another couple weeks here. Oh well.
In the end, Evan gets the worst of this though, as he doesn't even get to use the extra $350-worth he'll be spending on our place for the extra time. I mean, at least I get to stay here for a little while longer. Oh well...we've tried to reason with the people at the leasing office, but to no avail. Business is business, I guess. My clients expect me to be compassionate with them, but the same isn't returned to me when I'm on the receiving end.
