Rent update. Remember how I filed that rent complaint? Well six weeks later I called the city to ask them what was happening with that, and they told me that it hadn't even been assigned to a case worker yet, and that the process takes six months to a year. Oof. So I wrote my landlord an email about how hey, I could get a cheaper apartment than this these days, and then you will have to find a new tenant, and you'll only be able to get $1450 for the place (which is what the new tenant downstairs moved in at, after the place sat empty for six months), and wouldn't you rather just sign a new lease with me for that amount, so that at least the place doesn't sit empty for a month, and he said yes, young lady, he said "what a beautifully written email" (no really), he said "I will talk to a broker and we will work out what is best" and the next day he offered me $1450 rent. That's THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS less, a month. I win.

Now, what are you going to buy me with all the money you'll be saving. Actually don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise.
I was thinking of buying you a couch for my apartment.
That's exactly what I wanted!
I can hardly wait.
OMG, I thought you were going to say you went to see Rent. I was so excited and jealous!
But now Im just excited. For you!
Good job young lady.
Yes, well now she can afford to (go see Rent).
It pays to be persistent. And that's why I bug our utilities companies ALL THE TIME. Way to go cuz.
