Mild Rant on Housing

Ok, so yesterday I get a letter from my apartment complex stating my renewal is coming up in June and since they need at least 60 days notice if I'm going to be moving out that the need to know by the middle of next month. Ok cool, no problem. So i go to the second page of this letter and they proceed to tell me that they are planning on jacking my rent up a good $100 a month.

Well I was planning on staying in that apt for a while, if the rent was still reasonable. But that was just crazy. Its not like they added anything to the services they are providing me. Shouldn't I be grandfathered in to my current rate or something? Its nuts.

So now instead of re-newing my lease I am starting to look at buying a house. A big big step, but well at least I'd be actually putting money toward something instead of essentially throwing it away. I'll keep ya'll posted on my house buying process. Going to talk to some loan officers this weekend I think.

I'm also planning on tuning up the bike and start riding again this weekend. Take that high gas prices. WHOOHOO
