My New Apartment Question Mark

Unlike the last time I was apartment hunting, this is more being forced on me so my enthusiasm is kinda low. I haven't really been INTO looking at places. I truly am not happy about having to move, but I have trouble sometimes make the regular rent let alone what they are raising it too. It sucks that I am now gonna have a smaller place and still have to pay more in rent. That is assuming I get it. They could reject me what with my payment history being all crappy. I really hope not because I just do not want to look anymore. I have settled and I'm actually fine with it. So let me tell you about it. It's on 25th & Pillsbury which is actually a nice neighborhood. It's two blocks off the 17 and the 18 buslines and not terribly far from Lake Street or Lyndale either. It's a 1 bedroom on the 3rd aka top floor (next door to the property manager, in fact). Next are some of the things that I do LOVE about it. Number 1: THE CLOSETS! OMG!!! THE CLOSETS!!! There are two HUGE closets in the bedroom (essentially, one wall is the closets), plus a large coat/linen closet in the hallway. Number 2: Gas stove! I have wanted a gas stove forever (or since the last apartment I moved from that had a gas stove, so since about 2006). It's an apartment-size stove, but at this point I'm, like, whatevs! Number 3: A ceiling fan in my bedroom. Since the a/c is in the living room, I hope that a ceiling fan in the bedroom combined with a window fan will keep me cool during those dreaded summer nights. Numbers 4: the fancy sink in the bathroom. I just really like it. I should hear back sometime within the next 2 weeks (please don't let it take longer than that, especially if it's a no because that means the search isn't over).
