We might actually do this!

So most of you know we found a great apartment in Van Nuys that would let us save $350 a month towards a down payment for a house. Some of you know that we got approved for that apartment, and now need a $1600 deposit to secure it. The rest is this:

We "discovered" (I pretty much knew this already, but now its clear) that until July 14 (the end of our lease), we can move, but we have to pay rent until there's a new tenant. So we're not moving until there's someone moving in. There is no way we're paying double rent. HOWEVER, we did show the house to three people yesterday, two of which said they could move in June 1st. So, it looks like it just needs those people to apply for the house, be approved and then one of them putting in THEIR security deposit. Cause if we don't have to pay rent for June, then that's $1600 that can go to the new apartment. We'd still have to scramble, and maybe even borrow a bit for a couple weeks, but this is totally doable. :D

So we are starting to pack some, and keeping the place uber clean, and who knows...by June we may live somewhere totally new!
