She could not bring them a letter from the landlord because the ******* does not give out leases or notarized letters. She only got him to write a letter saying she lived in the apt. They never call her back so we assumed she lost the apt.

Now I wrote a long email explaining the situation with each document. We sent what documents we had attached to the email on the fifth day. They emailed my sister back the next day saying that they will wait until they call her log# and see if we had all the documents in. Her log number is in the high 7500. She is disabled
and has section 8. I hope she gets an apt, for her evil landlord is kicking everyone out of the building.
Her time line looks correct or at least very similar to mine with a log number of mid 200s with no preference. I did my interview early October and wasn't asked for my final up to date documents till late July. I don't think the missing landlord letter was an issue, since other documents can compensate for proof of residency. if you were missing any vital documents they would have contacted you. now i think we wait for the city to clear our paper work to be offered a lease.

i did a viewing today, the building is alright. reminds me of a minimal hotel. The studio and 1 bedroom are smaller than what i'm used to, OK for a single person, cramped for a couple and over all not very inviting for guest when it comes to floor space. the hook up for Comcast and Verizon is set up in the closet walls. bathroom has average tub and pretty wide medicine cabinet/mirror. the lights are installed against the walls. The AC/Heat are in a radiator type unit under the window. the stove is electric. building heat is gas. building access is through a key fob, with a camera feature on the buzzer.

the bike room has direct access from the lobby and separate doorway to the streets. the laundry room has 2 access points as well, lobby and back yard which is nice place to wait while your load is running. managing garbage is pretty easy. each floor has a room that hold paper, plastic/metal, general large items, and a chute for regular trash. The super is nice and lives in the Newbold building.

Even though i got to see the 1 bedroom i'm going to living in the studio since Wavecrest is still fulfilling CB preference quotas, since some CB have dropped out during my viewing.

I saw a studio yesterday in the Newbold building. I haven't signed a lease yet though. I'm assuming I'll be doing that within the next week. They just called and told me to meet the super and he'll show me the apartment. He was real nice.

He was super nice, seems real chill. Well, this would be my first apartment and I think it's a decent size. I think it's a good space to be able to play around with and make cozy. But if you already have an ideal apartment in your mind, I guess it could be off putting. I called the office today and the lady said that Tara, the person who handles the leasing is out until Monday. Fingers crossed we'll hear back from them soon

it's a first for me also. i'm downsizing from my parents house so its going to be a challenge for me, but i plan on incorporating a loft in mine so i can still have a bed, desk, couch and coffee table.

Yeah I can understand that. I haven't had a stable living condition in quite a while, I'll be happy just to call the place my own. The ceilings are definitely high enough to do that. I was thinking of getting on of those tables that fold up onto the wall to save some space also. It's got potential, and all the necessities.
