Rental Update

We found a new rental house!

Over the weekend, we moved into a new rental house.  It is only 5 blocks from the other house.  It is a little bigger inside but we sacrificed the fenced in yard.  There is a tiny yard with no fence.  BUT the upstairs has been completely redone and is definitely well maintained!  The owners are very nice and understanding of our situation.  I'm so excited.  Ladik stayed with my Mom while we were moving.  He called and ran through an entire inventory of his toys to make sure we moved everything.  It was so cute to hear what he was worried about! 

My sister and her husband totally rock.  They helped us move.  We couldn't have done it without them!

We did the final walk-through on the mold house yesterday.  The new realtor denies there is mold present.  She said the mold in Weeman's room was just condensation (really? its green and growing on the woodwork).  The problems in the bathroom are just shampoo residue (seriously? it covers the entire ceiling and extends clear to the door, not just above the shower).  The mold on thebathroom floor is because of poor 'aim' on DHs part (even though it is 4 feet from the toilet).  WTH?  She said my problems aren't due to the mold, but from old carpet.  She could 'smell' the carpet as soon as she walked in the door.  Interesting b/c I Clorox'ed the heck out of the kitchen and THAT is all I could smell when I walked in the door.  Grr, whatever chickadee. 

We gave new management company biatch copies of our old lease and all documentation from the old management company.  She backtracked fairly quickly on not giving us our deposit back.  SO they are allegedly cutting a check for a full deposit refund right away.   I will be soooo glad when we receive that check and it clears the bank. 

I want to put everything related to that house behind us.  I'm ready to move on and focus on busy season and getting settled in our new place.
