Hi, anybody has ideas regarding the waiting list of 2 bedrm without balcony?
Currently, we r in 149 external list of 1 bedrm with balcony. As we r expecting end of this year, we r planning to request moving to the end of 2bedrm list once the bb is born.
Does anyone know if you can switch from 1bedroom balcony to no balcony list? Felt like the turn over for balcony apt is very slow.
Does anyone know how they calculate the annual income for commission base jobs? Since every yr W2 is diff, do they use the current Year to date and extrapolate to the full year?
What is the current income limit for one bedroom and two bedrooms? The max could go up to 50% more with more common charges, right?
Thanks

You can't switch while on a waiting list. Once you are in an apartment, you have to wait 3 years before getting on the internal wait list for a larger apartment. The income limits are listed on the pennsouth website.

Hi All,

I've been wondering how long you have to contact Penn South after you receive a letter to come look at apartments. I'm going out of town and don't want to be disqualified if I don't respond in time only because I didn't see my mail for two weeks. I know someone posted something related to this topic a while ago, but I can't find it.

So if those of you who are already in apartments remember what the letter said, I really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I got a letter inviting me to look at apartments a few months ago and was surprised at the quick turnaround they asked for -- I think we had only one week to get back to them to say if we were interested in coming in. But since they just had a huge amount of people come in and they show apartments in groups of a few at a time, I have a feeling they do it it in batches and that a letter will not come in the next few months. Have a lovely vacation!

I would send an email to applicant@pennsouth.coop stating you will be away for 2 weeks, just to be safe.

This made me feel good...but its my first time woth the lottery and I had even forgotten I applied. Any advice on my appeal?

Thanks! I probably won't be called next week or anything since I' m toward the end of the list, but I was wondering what the time frame is.

So were you with a few different applicants when you looked at apartments? Hope you get one soon!
