To move or not to move
I’ve been renting a 1 bed basement unit of a house since May 2020. It is a legal unit but only has 1 window that brings in a small patch of sunlight.
The apartment is about 900sqft and has a washer/dryer included, 2 parking spots and a patio with fenced in yard.
The only reason I’m staying is because my rent is about 1350-1400/month and I know once I leave they are going to increase this rent and I won’t find anything like this for this price.
The other apartments within my budget are bachelors, or basement units. The odd above ground one that might be in my budget doesn’t have similar or comparable amenities to what I have now.
I feel pretty trapped in this situation, my boyfriend is a student and has no income, so it’s on me to support the household for the time being.
What would you suggest?
Bite the bullet to move above ground or;
Suck it up until he finishes school
Mind you- it’s been 6+ years of basement life and I am SO over it :/
Thanks for your time and perspectives!
