We got an official notice from our landlord yesterday that he's listing the home we're renting with a real estate agent as of Monday. We wrote an official reply today that we're giving him tomorrow (we know the home he's renovating now so can just stop by). We told him in the note that due to Gary's illnesses and the fact that we basically work from home we're happy to show the home by appointment, but that we expect to be off the premises by April 1.
We sent up the employment verification to our boss, who supposedly signed it and faxed it back to our real estate agent today. I have a copy of our credit reports from October that he says is recent enough (we HATE handing out our social security numbers!). Our RE agent is coming over Sunday to make sure he's got all the paperwork on his end. If he needs it, we've got copies of all the checks we wrote for this place ready to go, so they can see we were never late and always early - often paying several months in advance - with the rent. (We get paid really lumpy in our jobs, so when we get a lump we tend to pay as much as we can in advance). An hour later the real estate agent from the place we want to rent is coming over. We thought they'd like to see where we've been living for almost three years and the shape it's in. They both really liked that idea.
Although she can't really afford it, Gary's mom is lending us the money we need for the fees and security deposit on the new place.
So if all goes well - Sunday could be the day that the lease is signed and the check is written!
