I called them back
March 12, 2008I called the people with the house back this morning. I just asked if there was anything we could do to work out an arrangement as we really liked the house and location. I told her we didn’t need a fence or to change out the dishwasher. And they were concerned about the fact that putting up a fence could raise their property taxes, which are already higher because they do not have the “principal residence exemption” since it is a rental house, something I totally understand. I also said if they were concerned about the bankruptcy, we understood and were willing to pay a slightly larger deposit or get a co-signer. She then asked about our current rent and if we had ever been behind, which we have not. I even explained to her that other than the situation with the house over a year ago, we were on time with all our bill payments until we filed. She then said she needed to talk to her husband and would call me back.
She called back ten minutes later, saying they were willing to take the risk and rent to us. We get to rent the house, starting April 1st!!!
I am very happy about this. T and I were so frustrated the last couple of nights as we had no idea what we were going to about our living arrangements. We can’t wait to get out of this apartment and have a yard again 
Want a cat???
HURRAH! I’ve been praying something would open up with this house! WOOHOO!
Yes! Way to be persistent and follow your heart. I am glad you are moving in soon. Once you are settled we have to FINALLY get together!
