Ok, I'm seriously doing some major thinking here. Mox isn't home so I haven't had a chance to run it by him, but I think this might be the chance I was looking for.
So... let me begin at the beginning.
I've been at this apartment complex over a year. When I went to renew my lease, they kicked us off rental assistiance (because of Mox's income). We struggled to make payments until I got a job, and now we're doing just fine.
I had signer's remorse after I agreed to the lease, but I didn't want to just break it and up and leave (well, I really did, but you get my point).
Mox and I have talked about how we'd love to get out of this complex- the people are rude and so hillbilly-ish, and I would just love to have a yard and a washer/dryer connection. Keep in mind that there are duplex/houses available for rent that are about the same as what we're paying now.
So today I get a note on my door that says the Rural Development Office will be allowing a $10 per month increase on our rent. Now I'm not upset about that, but I do see this as a way out of my lease. It says on the paper that "Any tenant who does not wish to pay the Rural Development approval rent change may give the owner a 30-day notice to vacate."
I'm just scared we won't find another place in time...otherwise I would have never renewed the lease in the first place. Anyway, what do you all think? Should we take our chance to leave (we both really want to) and look for something else?
