WWYD - a lil bit of help

Last year when we moved in to our apartment, we did our walk thru/got our keys a few days before our lease date began.

DH & I signed our lease for our new apartment. Our move in date is 6/5. I thought since we got our keys a few days early last year - they would let us get the keys this weekend.

No they wont...
Well not without a lil bit of extra $....




(side note: we're already paying rent for the first 7 days of the month in the apartment we're currently living)

i would just wait...
do you just want the keys early so you can slowly move into the place??

ah i would save the $200

oh yea - forgot to mention, I already set up for furniture delivery on Friday the 4th
(and took off of work and was hoping to have cable come). Oi.

I'm so stoooopid. I should have known.

yup. wait.

but sicne you have stuff going on.. just buck up and pay for an extra few days to get it all done.


i know moving is a total PITA!!!

I would say to just pay to have everything be more convenient, 200 in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot. DH and I paid a full month of rent before we even lived in our apartment, starting 11/1, just so we had a month to get all our furniture, clothes, appliances, cable, etc. settled in. I can't even imagine if we didn't have that buffer!

Thanks for looking at the other side of it! I was beginning to think I was the only person thinking it may just be worth it to pay the extra $$.

Butttt - DH doesnt want to.

We're gonna discuss it tonight and see what our options really are.
I may try switching the move in & move out dates....

i agree with ali..i would pay just for the sake of it being easier

I would just pay the money- it would be so much easier and 200.00 isnt 'that much'

We had to PUT 10,000 into the house we r living into before we could even live there so if u can have furniture delivered and be in there early DO ITTTT

I completely agree! When we closed on our co-op we had 3 weeks before we had to be out of our old apartment and boy did we need it!
