    I sold my condo in 2016 and only apt. I could find at that time was $1200.00 a month for a two bdrm (not including utilities).. Only needed one but none was available and needed to be out of house. Am retired and on Soc. Sec. and my income had to be twice what my rent was. Credit was ok but son still had to co-sign for me to rent apt. also had a $600,00 pet deposit besides other deposits. All in all…Thank God for my son . I was 80 years old…it was like starting over until I was able to get into a low cost Senior Apt. that is HUD protected and now it IS 1/3 of my income, utilities included I had to wait 2 years for this apt. and I love it. It is 600 sq. ft. and I have ample room for self and cat. My family jumped in and moved me 1st time…and 2nd time when I moved to this apt. but we hired movers through church. God Bless them ALL!
