Nothing is Ever Easy
I thought I was making real progress with my apartment
search. The very first apartment I found on Craig’s list seemed to be a perfect
fit. It was from August 4th until January 4th in West
Hollywood. I have always dreamed of living in West Hollywood. The rent was $500
less than my apartment in NYC a month. The renter was leaving all her furniture, pans,
and bedding. I thought the apartment was adorable perfect for me and Ali. The renter, Polina and I spoke on Sunday. We
seemed to hit it off, and I knew exactly where she lived which would make the
move so much easier. Polina basically told me she was holding the apartment for
me. Thankfully a good friend of mine, Jeremy said he would check out the
apartment. I wanted to make sure this was not a scam. That is the last thing I needed
now. I was convinced by the end of
Monday, I would have an apartment. I
went to the beach yesterday, and relaxed talking in my Monday thinking happy
thoughts of my upcoming move! See the pictures below. It was not the perfect apartment but it was in the neighborhood I wanted.
I got home around 7pm, and checked my email. I found a Facebook message from Jeremy saying Polina canceled, and she would get contact with me. I checked my hotmail to find an email from Polina saying this:
Pamela,
i have to apologize, but we have to
cancel the whole thing. I am under a lot of pressure with cd promo, radio promo
etc. and my japanese company kindly agreed to postpond tour for a few months so
i wont sublet it now.
thanks and im very sorry,
Polina
Polina-
So you won't be going away at all now? This is very unfortunate. I was really
hoping this worked out, and would have sent you a check today. Please let know
if anything changes.
Thank you-
Pamela
She finally said this:
yes, staying in LA until december...
but email me when you are in town
and i will be happy to hang out and show you the city.
Polina
As they say back to the drawing board. I am thankful this happened now, and not 8/13. While this is annoying, I still have 33 days to find a place to live! Keep your fingers crossed something comes across in a safe neighborhood!
