Rent was getting too expensive so I waited for something in my price range to pop up on the house market. Now I just have to find someone to fill the apartment and pay rent on the lease I have which goes till next june. Because landlords are stupid and only care about money.

The house has 4 bedrooms, two with carpet and two hardwood floored. The house was previously being rented by the younger family members of the owners. They had a cat that they allowed to piss everywhere and scratch the hell out of some of the door frames. Luckily the hardwood floors are not too stained and the cat piss didn't soak through to the sub-floor.So not only do I have the task of repainting everything but also combating the leftover smell. I started with white vinegar which helped, and peroxide for some of the stains.They also started renovating a fifth bedroom into an upstairs bathroom and I don't know what to do with it. coils on the stove are shot and need to be replaced asap.

fresh paint makes a big difference in the interior appearance! I'm going with eggshell white for the walls and ceilings and forest green for all the trim, door frames and window frames. little by little I will be able to turn this place around for when I eventually sell, several years from now.

I'll have to take some voluntary overtime hours at work to cover the expense if I can't find someone to sublease the apartment.
