This weekend I got nothing accomplished. Not a thing. And I also didn’t take any pictures. What kind of blogger am I? I think I just broke some major rules in the “blogging rule book”. But oh well, shit happens, and by shit, I mean life.
So what did I spend my weekend doing? Obviously as you can see from the lack of pictures, I didn’t spend it at a beach, pool, island, on a boat tossing back beers, or anything awesome like that. Unfortunately. But I did spend my weekend driving around the entire state in hopes of finding a new apartment. But that didn’t happen either.
So now I’m back to where I started from. I guess I should’ve just spent the entire weekend at a beach after all!
And now I’m homeless. Well, kind of.
The problem is, Chris & I decided to not renew our lease at our current apartment and now we can’t find anything we want! And I’m not asking for much here people!
If you remember from this post, our current downtown apartment is tiny, dark, windowless, and just too far from work. So with that being said, I’m ready for a change!
Here’s my not so high maintenance wish list:
See, not too bad right? Well there is literally nothing
This is how I feel about the situation. Hailey agrees.
And now I’m thinking my dog may be a bit crazy.. Maybe that’s why these places won’t allow pets!

It's sooo hard finding nice/decent places that accept dogs! It's ridiculous. Especially cause my dog is small so it's not like I'm bringing a huge animal into a small apartment.
Lisa says
I think number 5 is very important. And any way you can extend your lease month-by-month until you find something?

Yikes! I've been in the exact same spot as you, and it really sucks!! My sympathies! But take heart….something will eventually turn up! 🙂 I've got my fingers crossed for you.
Stephanie says
Yeah that's my wish list too, it's hard in Chicago. The w/d one especially. I might have to give up on that!

Good luck!

We had the hardest time finding a place that allowed our 60+ pound dog. And truly almost were homeless. We found our place on a Tuesday and had to move out of our old place by Saturday. Something that worked for us that you could offer. We offered to double the pet deposit (it was $500, so we gave them $1000). We figured we know our dog won't destroy anything so it's just like having a little savings account with our landlord. It gave him peace of mind and we found a great spot!

Good luck with the apt/house hunting!! I know from experience it can be rough!
Emma Jane says
Oh my word this list is perfect. I just found a place to live so I can move out in a month and this was my same list. I think I'm gonna print this out and keep it ready for when I have to move again.
Good luck with your search!

Oh no! I hope you have better luck this week!
Kelsea says
Ah! The pressure! haha I hope you guys find something. We've been there and it can be stressful! Some things that helped us were just driving around the areas of town that we liked and looking for signs and checking out craigslist! 🙂 Good luck!
