good news, bad news

We had a viewing of our renovated apartment this weekend just gone and had not one, but two desirable applicants.  So we shall shortly have the ability to pay that particular mortgage.  Yay!!

However, I had a phone call this morning from one of our other tenants.  He has been unemployed since July, and is now having to break his lease.  I’m sorry this has happened – he is a really lovely guy, no trouble at all, keeps the unit very clean, and despite being out of work, has paid his rent on time every single week.  So, back to advertising property again.  <sigh>

Still, at least we won’t have to do anything to the unit this time, as it’s been kept so well.  That’s a good thing.  Plus we should be able to have it open this weekend, if our tenant is okay with that (and I’m sure he will be, he’s very obliging).

Wish us luck!
