this is a beg post.
rachel and i need to move within a month. our landlord is very nice and decided to go back on their word, so instead of spring it's the start of october.
i make $6000/month, roughly, after taxes. so our budget is, basically, $2,000/month, in rent, because of the 3× income requirement.
we are in the des moines, washington area. 98198. ideally we would not be moving more than 10 miles away.
hard requirements, in order of hardness:
- roommates are not an option.
- move-in date before october 1. earlier is better.
- first floor only. we cannot do stairs.
- 2 bedrooms.
- > 1,000 square feet.
if you have any clues on how to find these places i am all ears. i have been trawling zillow and other things and it feels like all the listings are garbage. an apartment complex lists an available-now unit at $1,985 and then we drive up and ask them and suddenly the price is $2,195 and it's not available until late october. "the rates change based on factors", no doubt to fuck over everyone else in the name of profit.
edit: contact methods: xkeeper on telegram/discord, comments, ask box, idk whatever else
we are doing as much as we can to handle this ourselves but time and energy are in very short supply. the sooner we find a place the better because i physically can't do a one-day move again, even with moving help (there's a lot of stuff i need to do myself, e.g. dismantling computer setups). we need like a week at least to spread things out and have time to recover.
