Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw in their rules/regulations that they do not allow any kind of cooking hardware. I can't bring my electric skillet with me, and I most certainly can't bring my cooking pan, either. However, I am currently working with staff on a compromise that will work out for all involved. The hope is to have a deal in place before Sept. 30th.

Does it have a common dining room with meals provided?

Yes. That's part of my rent. I can have one meal a day, but the rest I must get myself. That's the part that staff and I are working on.

I remember all the times I stayed at a hotel and thought I was going to starve to death. For $200 a night you'd expect a kitchen in the hotelroom. This is why I dread going to hotels now. I prefer to camp instead.
 
Making considerable progress in gettīng ready, and getting a workout in the process. Right now I'm catching my breath, and getting a little rest.
 
lurking online while at work. I got one calendar done so far for work... heh.

How are you supposed to eat?

no kitchen isn't exactly a small thing though. Even an efficiency or studio apartment has a kitchen!

Seems like maybe there's a common kitchen for all units to share or something?

Just seems so strange is all.

I don't think it can even be called an apartment without a kitchen. That's more like a room in a boarding house.

How are you supposed to get it yourself if you don't have a kitchen? They certainly don't expect you to eat out twice a day, do they? That would be too expensive and unhealthy.

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't think they realized (it was my staff who suggested this place to me) what I was getting into, and I have a hunch they may be regretting that. I am hoping that they are taking a very hard look at what they got me into, and make a decision on that.

Rent is $540/month. That would leave $200-something for at least 2-3 weeks if used wisely. I'm hoping that something good will come out of this nasty situation.

Are you at least allowed to have a small refrigerator in your room so you can keep sandwich making supplies, and milk for cereal? Can you keep fresh fruit and other foods that don't require cooking in your room?

Do you have your own bathroom? (I'm thinking about whether you have a sink available for meal cleanups.)

I still can't get over what you did not check before agreeing to rent there!!!!!!!!!!! Even if someone was still living in the unit you are to move into you should have gotten to see a floor plan and even a model apartment. Also, rules should have been available from the very beginning of the discussion of the possibility to move there.

You should stop.

He is not doing this on his own.

The program he is in is assisting him and he does not get to make all the decisions.

As for the fridge, no, I'm not. They also have rules about outside furniture being allowed inside. That's other thing that complicates things. I'm seriously hoping that they will re-consider their options. This situation is complicated, and getting an answer in 13 days might not come as easy as I'd like. They have to carefully evaluate any and all options open to them, so it might take a few days to figure out exactly what they're going to do.

Thank you, Botts. They're basically making suggestions, and since this was the one we tried that had an opening, we didn't bother searching further, although now I think of it, that is what we should have done. I'm waiting to hear back from them hopefully by tomorrow or next Monday.

Exactly. Not quite sure why everyone was giving Mark a hard time. He is a smart guy and is working close with his staff to make this move a pleasant one for him.

I thought this was the time when he was leaving the program he has been in and deciding where to go himself. Now I discover the staff of where he is now is very involved. That means that they are the ones that failed to do a complete checkout.

I hope they come up with other options for you. I know that you enjoy fixing your own meals.
