Moving to this place would save me money every month. I would have to sign a year's lease there. Currently, I rent on a month-to-month basis, which gives me a nice sense of freedom, that I may never have again. (HUD subsidies require a year's lease.)
I've only put my name on a wait list, for one of these, but I am sure, I've a long ways to go with the list.

Was the place, not clean, because someone had recently moved out?
That could be something you can ask. Point out, any flaws, immediately, before signing on the dotted line.

I hear you, about the 'freedom' that comes with being month-to-month, at the same time, money in your pockets is money in your pockets every month.

Wish, I could offer you more, advice. Thinking back, to when, you initially applied for the waiting list, what were your reasons? Was it about trying to save money, unhappiness with your current location, or a combination of many things?

Thanks for this!
