It sounds to me like the management company is the one doing the nickle and dimeing. They are the ones that are keeping these ridiculous fees. Former landlord here. When I interviewed management companies I purposely chose one that was not charging lots of fees to tenant. As a former landlord, I would much prefer to have a good tenant stay then deal with the unknown of a new tenant and the turnover costs.

I have a day full of meetings and all the paperwork, but at least we're interviewing more folks today. I love that the Great Resignation is finally causing wages to rise and allowing my former coworkers to make more money no matter where, but the hiring process sucks balls.

I've been looking around for 3 bedrooms and it's tough, especially for houses. I've held on to my apartment for 5 years now because I've never found anything else I could afford. Rent went up $100 last year and I'm looking for a better paying job so that I can afford to eat and live indoors if/when it goes up in a few months.

I am so ready for spring. I really want to get busy gardening. Have noticed the smallest signs of a few re-emerging perennials in the flower garden and I’m excited. Plus! My hellebores FINALLY bloomed.

Dinner at Max’s with my cousins! They originally picked Fall Line for the whole igloo experience but that quickly changed when they found out about the $100 rental fee.

Didn't sleep at all. Taking doggy to her cancer screening today. 😭 Then I have to pretend to work. I've been working on my deep breathing techniques but mostly I just want to kick things and flip around my hair yelling "PONYTAIL!" in an aggressive manner.

I woke up at 3 am remembering I had a BIG paper worth 10% of my final grade due for one of my classes at 8:30. I managed to power through it and get the whole thing done, but now none of the campus printers are working. FML.
