sienamysticBemo is doing better. He has technically quit the job, but was told by the hiring and training people that "he was valuable enough to hire, he is valuable enough to keep on, even if they may need to put him in a different department." We will explore what that means when I get home.
The dude who works at the rental management company when we first got the apartment is being very helpful, assembling our papers for us so we have proof of our valid lease and valid pets. The one hesitation was that our newest cat hasn't been licensed by the county, so I am tending to that asap so that they can't point a finger at that. (That was mostly laziness on my part - they usually send you the forms after the first time your cat has been seen by a vet and Ratchet hasn't had to go yet. He's up to date on his rabies shots, and all.)
They have been sitting on our rent checks - last month's and this month's. I have the carbons to prove they were written. A friend suggested that they were holding them and then going to deposit them all at once, hoping they'll bounce and we can be cited for defaulting on the rent. If that is their plan, it will fail - the money is there in the account.
We are actively looking for a new place. I don't want to hang out and be passive-aggressived by a landlord even if we are in the right. What I hope to do is use the fact that we are in the right to make him give us another month, at least, to complete the move. I don't know about the back rent and the deposit - I am assuming they will try to weasel us out of the deposit.
My mom has said she'll help us with a deposit on a new place. I am very grateful for that. I'm very grateful for all of you internet friends, too, because the support has been very helpful.
Gods above and below, this is enough to make a saint smack his mother in the mouth.
