...but I'd already picked out my spot on the street

I'm sure you'll all be heartily thrilled to know that you won't have to put up with any more apartment hunting whining from me, as I have a new place to live.

I hope.

I mean, they still have to do the credit check and talk to my current landlord, but there should be no problems, and in the meantime I've filled out all the forms and given them vast quantities of my money*, so all should be well.

I'm excited - it's not one of the neighbourhoods that I'd always wanted to live in, but it's on three lines of transit, there's a library, grocery store, Shoppers, liquor store and health food store nearby, and it's much closer to people who I visit regularly, especially sarcasma and sanity_clause. So yay. I hope it goes through!

emiline, I'm your neighbour now. :)

*Technically, my and starfishchick's money, since they wanted first and last right then in order to process the application, and they wouldn't take a personal cheque. It's the weekend, so I couldn't go to my bank, so starfishchick and I ganged up on a bank machine and each took out as much as our cards would allow us and I promised to bring the rest as soon as I could get to my bank. I felt very fly-by-night having to give them cash.

If you had been all "I don't like this policy; I'm going away," they might have changed their tone. Maybe. (But given that you seem to like the place, perhaps it's not something on which you would have liked to gamble...)
