We Walked Away From Our Apartment
OK, so, bf and I found a near-perfect apartment that met almost everything on my list. Applied and were approved, but then the landlord sends the lease and tells us about a move-in fee he casually forgot to mention to the tune of $500. We were already planning to negotiate the rent ($2099) as it didn't come with a parking space and we would need to budget an extra $100-$150 to rent a spot from someone else.
After some back-and-forth in which he was a little rude, he begrudgingly offered to let us take the move-in fee out of Sept. rent and lower the rent to $2k--but not both--we decided to stay in our worth and walk. We were also wary as the owner lives abroad and doesn't use a property management company. The next day, we saw a posting for an identical unit in the same building for the price I had written on my list, but didn't tell my bf about--$1500 so $500 less than the first place. IN ADDITION, it had a FREE parking space, the owners live in the building, it's on a higher floor, the walls were in our preferred colors, AND there's a tree blocking the window (bf felt the other place was a little too exposed and people could see inside).
Basically, it has everything that made us walk away from the first place. I reached out, but haven't heard anything back. I know you can't manifest anything specific, so my question is this: What would be more in line with showing the universe we trust it to provide--not looking at other places and waiting for these owners to get back to us OR continuing to look around at other places?
