My ONE BEDROOM apartment is $600 then water then $80 electric then renters insurance then phone bill -.- and that's in the ghettos with drugs and gunfire and on a government run program discount

Our current rental is $1600 a month for 3 bedrooms but 2500 sq feet. So we split that with my mom and then utilities.

It would be way better to have a little house with a mortgage I think

It's really a toss-up there I'd say. If you own a house, all maintenance gets paid for by you. If you are renting, the owners generally pay.

But then again, owning a home is great if you have no plans to move because it's strong collateral.

haha my landlord will only pay if it is something major, we have to take care of any minor maintenance. Example: our outside faucet was dripping and we needed to get it fixed before the temp got too cold so the pipes didn't freeze. we had to pay that cost o3o

Wow what a sucky landlord. I understand them wanting you to pay for things that were your fault, but something like this? Frozen pipes aren't minor >_>

That’s out of state rental companies for you xD

Freeze his pipes >:U

Lol, the only reason ours is so cheap is because its being renovated in small steps while we live here. So things are broken, the outside looks terrible, the inside has so many issues its insane, and I feel like we have to call the landlord every other week to have him fix something.

Eventually we'll have to leave as soon as he's done with the renovations.

Oh dear. That must be quite a strain then, Batty. Do you already have plans where you'll go afterwards, or are you still looking?

No clue! XD;;

Kind of just playing it by ear at the moment.
Especially since he allows us to pretty much do whatever we want to our rooms.
[I just acquired one, so, naturally I asked if I could paint it purple xD]

*shamelessly promotes the music video I made* clicky

Is that you in the video? :O

...There was this one time I had an internship near Portland, and my third-floor studio was $600 a month. That...was not fun. I also didn't have an actual bed. Slept on the ground for ten weeks. Nor did I have AC. Or transportation.

Oh ya when I met Brady we lived in a super small apartment that was a big cement block and had no ac but one little window that opened xD very common in and around Portland for no ac. That one was $750

wtf do you live in my apartment complex?? lol this sounds like my place
