Moving woes

I guess that sounds pretty good for a while. I too would be looking for something a little more realistic. I feel so bad It seemed like you found a really good place in the begining. Good luck I hope you find something better soon…....all that packing and unpacking again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yuck

Oh geez - what a predicament! IMO - the landlord might be trying to get another 20-30 bucks a month without saying, by greasing her palm to use the stairs. Hmmm?
I'd feel alot of frustration in that - you've taken good time going around the world, and yet getting into your yard is a real hassle. Wierd - isn't it? Certainly, I wish you good luck finding a new place. It might be wise to get on the hunt before spring, when everyone else is in the mood too. Good luck and hang in there. ;) -
so i found a new place today. nice bright sunny apartment, no fenced yard, but oh well. its almost impossible to find places that allow dogs here. i told my current landlord i found a new place (which i actually thought she'd be happy about) and to confirm she'd give me back my security deposit like she said she would last night and she said yes. I suggested that I could be out of here in a few weeks if she would return the extra rent if i leave before the end of the month and she freaked out that she would absolutely not give me any rent back. i actually also asked if she would give me a couple hundred dollars so i could rent a mover to get my big stuff out of here and that really made her flip. I know, it was bold to ask her that… but it cost THOUSANDS of dollars for me to relocate here, and i've only been here for 2 weeks and now i have to move again because she reneged on an agreed upon amenity. So whatever, I'm moving into my new place Dec 1st. UGH!
Well, at least her turning into a total BITCH makes me 1000% sure i'm doing the right thing by moving out.

I'm sorry you have to move, at least she is going you your deposit back.
I hope you like the new place!!

((Hugs)) to you for all the troubles. It sounds like a much better situation in the new place. Less than one month to go!

If you want to meet other Basenji owners for organized Basenji play-dates at local dog parks, you should check out Meetup.com. New York has the only Basenji Meetup (so far), and from the photos it looks like the B's and the owners have a good time. I joined this online group even though I'm in Illinois –I'm checking them out because I'd like to start a Basenji Meetup in the Chicago area in the spring. (Their next play date is Sat Nov 10 at Madison Sq Park).

Thanks for the suggestion! There was a basenji meetup this weekend in NYC but i couldn't make it. I found a dog park a few miles from me so hopefully we can socialize there sometimes. It was a bit cold when we went so we were the only ones there. Maybe next time!

T&L-so sorry that you have to move again! That's such a BUMMER! I don't blame you for asking for moving expenses…you're moving because of her not because you had an issue. Oh well...I hope the new place is much better :)

So we are all moved into the new place! Movers came last friday and packed up everything that was left and hauled it all over to the new place. So glad its over. The old landlords actually gave me my security deposit back and the rest of Novembers rent so thats a relief.
One funny little thing. When the movers were packing, I put the dogs outside. It was a little cold, so I expected them to just sit at the top of the stairs and not budge. But Lenny, ran down the stairs to the deck and proceeded to pee on each of the 3 pumpkins that were out there. HA. I thought it was kind of funny - those pumpkins have been there ever since we moved in and he has not done that until just that last day.

LMAO @ the pumpkins, good boy Lenny
I'm glad you're in and getting settled into the new place.
