this week i found out i am moving. i was soo happy. i found a great appartment on a side of town i love near a university and all they needed was for my GM to fax over a document stating that i work there and make the required minimum (i make well over it) and they said i would be ready to move in as soon as they got the fax and filed it. all wonderful. i gave my notice here at home that i will not be renewing my lease, reserved a u-haul, and have begun packing.
the bad:
they called me this morning stating that my work reference is not acceptable. i'm sure you have the idea that i am a dancer. i've lived in two different apartment complexes and have never had a problem with this. then they proceed to tell me that if i get a co-signer with PERFECT credit, who makes 6 times the rent and no criminal history, i would be approved to move in. this is because i dance and do not get a pay check. so i called my closest of friends and they all have either aweful credit or a really bad rental history or they make what i do. my managers can't do it simply because that is crossing a very dangerous line etc. i understand. so my mom (who is moving with me and also can't co-sign) called her brother who OWNS an apartment complex. HE can't co-sign either because his last divorce was messy and he made ONE late payment.
we have all decided they don't want a dancer living there because the information my GM provided was more than what was needed and i've even used less information at other places i've lived.
i called a place today and made an apointment for tomorrow morning. they told me if i get aproved then i can still move on friday. i live in tyler right now and i'm trying to move to dallas. i'm irritated because they gave me the OK to get ready to move then they turned around and said it would not be possible. no one else in my family can do it because their credit is bad. i don't see how they can do this. i just really need some emotional support right now that i can pull this off. the people i talked to today said my work information would be enough but i'm really hoping things will work out this time. i have to be moved out on friday so i'm really in a tight spot. i just want to scream right now over this.
thank you for listening to my troubles. i really hope no one else ever has to go through this, but i am taking notes so if any one ever does i can hand out my two cents.
the one thing i can say is ALWAYS make sure they will accept your occupation information as a self employed/dancer before you let them get your hopes up. they told me i was ready, then they took it back. don't let that happen, ladies and gents.
again thank you for your time. i'm just really stressed and need to vent and hear something positive today. its been a rough day so far.
