The lease on my current apartment is up Sept. 30th, and how I see it I have a couple of options each with it's own conditions.

Option A: Renew my current lease. This way I won't have to move anything, and I'll get my first month rent free. However the rent isn't cheap, $700, plus another $100 in utilities during the winter. The big problem is my income, the require your income to be 3x the amount of the rent which mine falls short of. So, if they want to verify my income that could be a problem, although I'm sure I could "modify" an old pay stub to meet the requirement.

Option B: Look for a new place. This is going to be more difficult, but I could find something more in my price range. However anything in my price range is going to be small, and in a shitty neighborhood. A lot of you are going to say get a roommate, or move in with some friends. This would save me a ton of money, but I hate people, and I have a distaste for wearing pants. It would be great if I could find something privately owned, like a small condo, or basement apartment. It would save me the trouble of dealing with all of the afore mentioned bullshit.

Thoughts?
