I am in the process of moving because the company I work for is an hour away from where I live.
I hate driving to and from work because that is two hours out of my day where I am sitting in my car doing nothing.
If I lived closer to my job, I could prevent those two hours from being wasted every day. In fact, I could possibly use one of those hours for something constructive like going to the gym or joining a community group. Well, I have been searching for apartments for rent near my job, and I have not been able to find anything that I like. Currently, I live in a 2-bedroom privately owned condo, so I would prefer to rent from an owner instead of from an apartment complex. I know that the chances of me finding a privately owned condo like my current place are very slim. But I prefer to rent a condo from an owner because I find that if something breaks inside the apartment, and I need maintenance, the landlord takes care of the problem in a timely manner. In an apartment complex, I would need to call the leasing office and report the issue. Then, unless it is an emergency, then I will be placed on the list of other maintenance issues. It could be a day or two before the maintenance crew comes in and fix an issue. This was part of the reason why I chose to rent from an owner. So, I am hoping that I find another condo close to my job that is privately owned. For now, I will keep searching.
