    Default Cross your fingers

    I just found my perfect apartment in Astoria. Close to the college, the nursing home I plan on working at, 2 blocks from the river and a park. It's just a studio, but it has claw foot bathtub. ( bathtub is very important to me ) The rent is only $550, everythign included except electric( even internet is included!) It's a secured building and has laundry facilities. It is in the historic district and the building is lovely. It's available on Aug. 1st ( just around my planned move date!)

    The downside: No pets allowed This is the cross your fingers part. I just emailed them and asked to please waive the pet policy, I am willign to pay a pet deposit and provide proof my dog has been through professional obedience. I also offered to pay 6 months rent up front ( which I planned to do anyway. Student loans are supposed to be used for housing as well as tuition, right? ) Hopefully that will convince them to let me have my dog. I want this place! it's perfect.

    Yes, thanks SW. you have chosen my new home

    I'm guessing the "No Pets" policy is a deal-killer for you? If it is, that's too bad. Sounds like you and your lil rugrats would've loved the place.

    Out of curiosity, are the realtor sites (or however you're doing your property search) able to filter down to those properties that are pet-friendly?

    ^Yeah, total deal breaker. I can't abandon my animals. They are stuck with me!

    I was looking at different property management websites, and I did filter the results..but I saw that place and wanted it.

    I actually emailed them a second time and said again just please ask the landlord what it would take to sway his mind, and she said, " Are you still referring to the same property? As I said previously, THE OWNER IS VERY FIRM ON HIS NO PETS POLICY!

    Sheesh.

    Oh well. Still got a few months to look anyway
