Told them we wanted to move in nov 1. They were all okay with it, but then all of the sudden tried to tell us we had to move in oct 1 or they were going to keep showing it. We couldn't afford to move a month early so we had to wait and someone wound up renting the place and moving in oct. 20 th. so that left us scouring Craigslist and everywhere to find a place. It worked out in the end, we found a nice place, but I think we got lucky that it happened that way.
The reason I'm so nervous about it is that we've got four guys who are all pretty excited about this one place in particular. So if we're told we lost out on the place we basically have to start at square one in terms of getting everyone on the same page again to look at places and decide on one, which is a major headache.
