We didn't know what was going to happen with our apartment because we are supposed to give them 60 days notice. And when we bought the house that meant we would have the apartment until the end of October. This also meant that we would have to make a rent payment and a mortgage payment in September. That's a lot of money! So we called the landlord to see if we could get out of it and it didn't look like we could.
One of my colleagues overheard me talking about it and said, excitedly, "We're looking for an apartment, we want to downsize so we can save money for a house". I got super excited and we booked a time for her and her husband to come and see our apartment. We called the landlord and she told us that if we could find someone to rent for October 1 than September could be our last and "free" month. After they came to see our place, they realized that it would be too small for them. I was not totally surprised but started to worry again about having the apt until the end of October.
Then, yesterday, our landlady called and said there was someone in the building who was looking for a place (not sure why, maybe they wanted a river view or something) so could she show our place. I said sure and only after I hung up did I realize what a pigsty the place was, we hadn't done dishes or laundry in a few days! yikes! A few hours later, she called back and said they would take it starting October 1. So our prayers were answered and we are officially moving out on September 22.
