Once again, not “too many things are happening at once,” but way too many!
I was not posting anything for several days, and now that I carved ten minutes, I do not even know where to start.
On the positive side: we finally secured an apartment for mom. It was real teamwork; Vlad picked several places and went to see them. He asked the manager to send us videos, and we all watched them. All of us (Vlad, Igor, and I ) had the same favorite; the challenge was to explain to my mom that that would be the best location for her. It took us a while, and I am not sure whether we convinced her or she just gave up:) But honestly, if my house would be at the same location as her apartment, I would like it more :).
It took a lot of back and forths to finalize the process. My biggest accomplishment was that this time mom is a renter, not just a tenant. I still had to be her co-signer, but her name is on the lease.
One big hurdle was the fact that since I am in the process of getting my mortgage, I could not have my credit report pulled, and that would be required for the lease.
My loan officer emailed me a recent copy of my credit report. First, the leasing company didn’t even want to look at it, and Anna volunteered to co-sign with mom. But when they saw the actual report, they called me and said it was almost too much information :).
And the last challenge was to have my mom sign the lease over the DocuSign. I had to come to her place and help her, but now we are all set!
That was one of the big items I crossed off my list.

I signed my current lease with a mouse. The best I could do was an “X”. It’s not clear whether anyone has ever looked at it… Or whether a court would enforce it. But whatever works!

That is brutal! I thought everything is with DocuSign these days!
