Wow. I JUST posted about how if I would think about him enough he'd be nearby. Yesterday a.m. my D says, OMG Mom, Mark is right behind us. There we were stuck at a red light with my heart's desire right on our tail. He was behind us for about 4-5 blks before turning. Was weird. I pretended I didn't see him, my heart was racing.
Maybe he'll be thinking of me too. I used to see him on the road often, but it's been a long time. And far as I know, this would be the 1st time he saw me on the road.
Pathetic that I'm even writing about that.
Weehaken was actually quite lovely and the Blvd on the Hudson was a beautiful location. The Manhattan view was impressive. It took less than 1/2 hr to get there, apt. was good and had all the features I want. But it will cost me $13 a day to get into the city between me and D. That makes it too expensive. I drive and the tunnel is $8. I work 6 days - And D would take a very convienent bus to Manhattan then transfer to the train. Very easy, but would be $5. extra roundtrip.
Keep looking.
I have had a thought. If LL has no c of o, can she legally take me to landlord/tenant court? If she's not a real landlord but a fraud? II think I've stumbled on a very valid point. No c of o = not really landlord. If your bldg isn't zoned to collect rent money than how can I be taken to court. The property law says a LL wo the c of o can seek eviction but not recover financially. But I wonder if it could be argued that she can't even legally bring the case to court for eviction. And if that point is valid, then NY's squatter laws would protect me and she'd never be able to get me out.......( legally.) Not that I want to stay in this selfdestructing bldg, but I may be able to avoid court while I continue to look for my new home. I think I am getting to the point of needing a lawyer, tried to avoid it. I need real advice. Aside from hiring a lawyer, where would I go to explore my new defense? Should I call the DA? Oh I'm just thinking out loud. I certainly am not on a marriage saving board asking this in earnest.
See 3 more apts. today. I've enlisted the help of a few brokers now. They tell me if I can wait until Dec. or Jan, there will be much more on the market and prices will be better than they are now. But how can I hang on until then with the situation deteriorating rapidly. I might look at rent to own. There's so many homes headed to foreclosure and the banks don't really want them. I may get into something with no down payment. I'm going to explore that. Maybe that's what the destined move is and that's why I can't find an apartment. It's divine intervention. I was going to move into a cheaper apt to save a down payment with hopes to buy in the next 2 yrs or so. Maybe I can bypass the apt. step.
I could really use a crystal ball sometimes. Anyone have it?
