So I've been living with 3 other guys for the past year. Our lease is up next week. We've been looking for a new place for a long time. Originally, we had 2 more guys, and were looking for a 6 bedroom. When it became apparent that we weren't gonna find a nice 6 bedroom, we split into groups of 3.
We've been looking for a 3 bedroom since early June now. There hasn't really been anything that fit the interests of all of us, except this one place. It was really nice, but way too expensive, so we put it off. Fast forward to last week...we find that place is still available, for slightly(very slightly) less, so we figure we still don't have a place...what the hell.
After talking about it for a few days, talking with the landlord, going over our finances, we decide yea its expensive, but we'll go for it. We tell the landlord earlier yes we'll do it, we get our applications and everything. Then one guy starts having doubts...originally he's saying this place is too much, we need to find something cheaper, then that turns to I can't afford an apartment at all, I'm gonna live at home.
If he doesn't want to stay in an apartment at all(he CAN afford it, he just won't really have any spare cash), why the hell did he wait until now, a week before we move out, to decide that?? He never even mentioned that to us in the 4 months we've been looking for places. We could have been looking at 2 bedrooms all summer...I'm sure there's still some available, but now we're gonna have to settle for something that isn't as nice. Very frustrating.
