How much is one's own bathroom worth?

LA, well, there ya go..

Does she sign something? Would be good to have a clause for if your landlord ever does up things..

Not to be too nosy, but how does a group visit work? Do they fill out a form? Does everybody drink ice tea and chatter? Is it like a real estate open house with a horde of beeves running the room Pamploma?

I planned to have some iced tea, but didn't make any. So, no drinks. People came from 5:30 to 6:45. The most we had at any one time was 5 people. But, even then it was hard to focus well enough to really get a sense of individuals. Live and learn...... next time we do an open house and then a second round of more intensive interviews, perhaps.

I wouldn't like to do an open house kind of thing...I like to spend some time with prospective people and try to get to know them a bit. You could have someone come in who would make a great roommate, but then get thrown off by having 4 other people looking, and leave before you get a chance to talk to them at all. On the other hand, it builds value in your place by them seeing other interested peope checking it out...

I'd be wary of a financial consultant who isn't established...actually I wouldn't allow them.

Why wouldn't you allow an established financial consultant?

No, one who isn't established, as far as income...they start out making nada.

Oh. Well. We all make nada here. I'm pretty sure she has her back covered.

so they replaced me

luckily the new girl wants ALL of my furniture, even my rug....so all i have to do is pack my six plums, as we slovaks say, and leave my room behind as is. actually that might be a bit harder.

Yeh. Take a few photos. (Why the hell didn't I take a street photo of the apartment I had over the spanish house in west LA? Now replaced by universally ugly condos.)

Oh come on, Dasha, like she could replace you! Pshaw!

Dasha is well loved.

I don't want to hear any argument.

To go towards obnoxious... Dag is Us.

this thread is kinda gross, i had no idea people shared bathrooms with strangers. Must suck not to have any money for a place of your own or need help with rent that you have to share with strangers to keep your place.

even if you all are perfectly clean etc i just cant imagine a living situation like that. I'm so sheltered

littlek, if the person is too young and "cut cash" (I don't know what that means), why did you pick her?

she is young, but mature... i don't know what "cut cash" means either, but i think she has more money than any of us. she seems a very nice person indeed. (and she's buying all of my furniture, so i'm happy as a clam....though i'm not sure why a clam would be happy).

I just bought some clamato juice.

I'm glad I'm not those clams.

Dunno....with the heap of things to do ahead of me in the next 6 weeks, turning into clam juice is almost tempting. Only almost so far.

Cut cash? Did I say that?

[quote="littlek uttered the phrase "cut cash" (thus altering the aura of A2k forever) when she"]We didn't go with the 800/month lady. We went with an anomaly. She's in her early 20s (too young for my profile of a housemate) and is a financial consultant (too cut cash oriented for my profile). She was born in India, but her family moved to LA when she was 7. She's warm and seems to have a sense of humor.[/quote]

Curious. I have no idea what I was trying to say. Maybe cut throat?

haha. ooops, somehow that reminded me to pay NStar.
