BEST Open Letter to Leasors in DC EVER

Dear DC Real Estate Agents and Apartment Owners,

Given the recent events of the real estate search by both Em and myself, I would like to clarify the definition of a "bedroom". A bedroom must meet the following requirements:

1. Big enough to fit a bed and dresser
2. Has a closet
3. Has a window

Any room in your home/apartment that does not meet all three of the above listed requirements should be listed either as "den", "library", "sitting room", "office", or "space that could be a bedroom if you only have a futon and don't own anything else".

If the room meets the three above listed mandatory requirements, and you still say "So, would this place be for BOTH of you?" when Emmm and I show up to look at your alleged two bedroom apartment, you may want to reconsider how you are labelling it. The reason we showed up in the first place was because you SAID you HAD a TWO bedroom. There are TWO of us, hence the need for a TWO bedroom. Real estate is scarce and expensive in this city. Generally if someone is looking for a two bedroom apartment it is because they have two people, one for each room.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,
Kimmmmm

Dear everyone else,
We here at Best Summer Evah are experiencing a small real estate related crisis as we gear up for move number FOUR in THREE years. We are attempting to be as optimistic as possible, but there may not be a whole bunch of postings in the coming days as most online time is spent attempting to locate a place to live in January. I guarantee though, we have many unintentionally comical, yet horrendous stories about the apartment search which will seem a lot funnier once we sign a new lease.

Speaking of which... does anyone out there have a two bedroom, two bath (or one) apartment, within walking distance of either the Capitol South or Eastern Market metro for rent which will not end up costing us an arm and a leg?

Hugs and Kisses,
Kimmmmmmm
