I'm so relieved!!

I found a better option than the basement rental so am going to take it.

The pros:

*I know this person (not well, but I know them)
*House is located in familiar neighborhood
*Bedroom is NOT IN A BASEMENT
*Same rent price as basement rental option
*Shared space of kitchen, living room, dining room
*located in a suburb so street parking free or park in driveway
*Same rent as the basement rental option

This person's friend was supposed to move in temporarily to their house but they decided their pets would not get along, so they emailed me after I told them my situation and offered me their room! I will go look at the room today and chat with this person, but I'm already "in" so to speak b/c of all the pros about this rental situation.

They are divorced and have a teenager but I'm ok with that.

I'm so relieved. I cannot tell you how relieved I feel. Now, I know I'll be safe, I'll be able to sleep at night not worrying about my safety (b/c I won't be stuck in small basement that has no door, no egress window) for the next 3 months while I try to get a temp job/full time job and wait to find out if my late drop petition of my grad school course is accepted so that I can stay in my grad school program.
