Ahh, the Canberra rental market… HATE it hate it hate it.

The new landlord has decided that a $55 a week rental increase is what they’d like… so… we’re looking around at our options, starting the process of going to open houses, seeing what’s out there that might be suitable. Oh and I’m sure we’ll be putting in applications left, right and centre on anything that looks reasonably prices, suitable and/or closer to my work so I can at least save of fuel costs if not on rent.

*breathes*

We’re still mostly looking at houses… we like our space, like to have a backyard (even if ours is a bit of a jungle at the moment), and garages are more likely… an apartment would really need to have the right location for us to consider it… I don’t like people that much :p

So – time to put allhomes back on my regular browsing list (ooh new property – call them call them!!!) and get all my incomes and references ready to copy out a million times.

Wish us luck?

Woden/Weston and Inner north or inner south…. if I was willing to head to Tugg I’m sure it’d be easier

i think most people in apartments don’t really talk to each other so it probably wouldn’t really matter that you don’t like people :P

Oh it still matters. Living that closely to people, hearing their “noises” in the middle of the night.. having to negotiate any common areas… *hides*
