On a separate note. I had a lesbian female look at my apartment yesterday and she wants to move forward. She's only 29! And tells me her father will be sending me her rent every month. Her FATHER! She has relatively poor credit, in the low 500's and may not pass the credit check, so again, she says her father can co-sign. She has depression and ADD, and is on meds for both.

I just don't think so. I want someone older or closer to my own age, who doesn't need to depend on their family for money. My landlord is now requiring a lease for the new person, 12 months. I don't want to get stuck with someone who has depression and ADD and who could end up dragging me down sometimes. I want someone healthier than ME, someone stable and who doesn't have any mental health issues.

I am not yet desperate - now I am looking for a June 1 move-in date. I think I will tell her no.
