Hi everyone. I'm very frustrated and am just looking for some advice. My landlords have decided to raise my rent by $75 a month starting in September, but told me that the apt next door will be open for the same price I'm paying now starting next month. I probably could afford to stay here if I wanted to, but here's the thing. I love the size and layout of my apartment, but it desperately needs new rugs and a good paint job, which it should have gotten before I moved in if you ask me. My landlords, however, just redid the other apt I'm looking at, so they say they can't afford to do anything to mine at the current time. So here are the pluses and minuses as I see them:
Current apt: Larger, don't have to deal with the hassle of moving, but yucky rugs and walls and $75 more
Other apt: Smaller, not sure if all my furniture will fit, but beautiful new rugs, paint, and countertops, plus $75 cheaper
What do you think you would do?? I'm soooo torn, and I have to decide within the next couple of days. I'd be saving $900 a year at the other apt, but would also have to pay probably a couple 100 for movers (they're both 2nd floor apts and my large stuff is just too much). Any ideas? Do you think it's worth moving??
BTW, I wish I could just move to a place away from these landlords, but I forgot to mention that there's a huge housing deficit due to the nearby military base and there's absolutely nothing else available in my area.
