My Summer Tales 2022- II

I started a discussion series last time: Continuing from the above, once we had got a deadline to shift, the hard work began. I waited for one week as we had a visitor expected at our place. I started visiting different Apartments in our preferred area. In contrast to what I expected, the number of available places for rent was lesser than what I had expected. 1 unit somewhere, 2 units somewhere. Some were at higher floors than what we wanted. And no units in some Apartments. We zeroed on one and made 2 visits in 2 days but backed out due to certain factors, which I cannot disclose here. Overall, it was much tougher as we had mercury hovering between 41 and 45 C. I always kept a water bottle which helped. Plus I had to go in between my work timings on some days as well. My Manager was thankfully supportive in it and I came back and often worked till 10 or 11 in the night. In short, everything was in a turmoil and unsettled. ..... To be continued.....
Early May 2022. Things were settling down for me at work and personally after a hectic and spending heavy April. We had a planned visit by our landlord in early...

Apartment hunting can be a lot of work especially in the heat that you are facing there. Good that your manager is supportive. You have a time constraint. Good luck with your apartment hunting. Hope you get a suitable one soon. How are you going about it? Through online sites like magic bricks or through agents??

@arunima25 My 'stories' are in the past tense! Now we are in a new rented place and gradually settling down. I had lesser time and got a package through MagicBricks. It did help. I went through a Real Estate agent. But was more careful in many terms than before.

@arunima25 Yes it is so tiring as well but a bright part is a lot of de-cluttering that we have been able to do!

@CarolDM Yet we still need a lot of covering up to do as we have to spend a lot of money (over budget) plus time and energy. Kids' studies suffered too.

Finding a better place to live is hard. If there's, the rental is too much.

I hope you have found somewhere suitable by now. Those are very high temperatures to have to be looking at apartments.
