I did read that from the 2014 forum, but I think that was an exception. Most of the recent reports from people who were called, were called when they were much closer.
I believe that in recent years Penn South has cleaned up the list and knocked off some people who were either unreachable and/or indecisive. I mean, if you're really interested, you would inform Penn South of your new address and phone number, not just disappear.
So I expect that the people being called now will be closer to 1 than previously.
Can anyone living in Penn South let me know what exactly allows a person to move to a larger apartment?
For example, I am 100% childfree and will not be planning on kids but in the future I will most likely be my dad's and my aunt's caretaker. If I move them in after becoming a tenant does that qualify me for an internal transfer to a 3 bedroom?

Would those people have to be living with you before they let you put in for a transfer to a bigger apartment?

Yes. They will need to appear on the income affidavit (thus living with you) for at least 2 years before one can qualify to be placed on the internal waiting list for a bigger apartment. this is assuming whoever is the owner of the apartment has been living in the same apartment for 3 years.
No one is forcing you to do anything.
You are choosing to have two individuals move into a one-bedroom with you.
I agree.
Also I think it's pretty amazing the even let people transfer to larger apartments after a few years. They could just say nope you were chosen for a One bedroom. That's what you get.

Who said anything about forcing? It's a simple observation.
So by that same token they make new parents wait three years before a transfer? That also doesn't seem right to me. My ML (granted, Penn South is not an ML) lets people request a transfer even if the woman is pregnant.

I disagree on this, even if I weren't expecting my family members to move in. It's not fair to expect someone's lifetime family composition to NEVER change.

Thanks macnyc2003 - I hope they are doing that. I was on the site yesterday looking for the instructions to change address. Do you know what Penn South asks?

New parents have to wait only a year before getting on the PS internal transfer list.
