So the philosophy of canoe has won out again. The whole, sit back, wait for it to happen, it'll take care of itself and come out alright in the end works! I've spent 2 and a half months doing the whole stressful part of the landlord bit with advertising, taking and returning dead end calls, making appointments, keeping appointments, waiting, being stood up constantly, being judged, and on the rare occasion, meeting nice people. It's totally exhausting, time consuming, and stressful, and makes me want to reconsider renting out to anyone at all. And then I rent the place in a 1 hour time span. They called me, came to see it 15 minutes later, flurry of checking who they were and realizing that we did know them through relation (it is pei people, who needs references when you can just figure out who they're related to and who they went to school with) and then confirming the moving in date less than an hour later. Good deal, and Binx will have a new friend to play with.
Phew, less stress for me is nice, and ties up loose ends for next year. Yay! Such little things can make life go easier.
