Yes, my grandmother in Holland has offered me a room.
No, seriously, the major move-in plans are for Friday, and they're happening no matter what. Absent any apartment, it'll be a street protest!
Make a stink big enough that you get that first-floor apartment. They may be idjits. They're also bastids.
By rights they should suck up the extra cost and let you have that ground-floor place just so you don't sue them. Because it seems like you could. Have you checked with any of the Mieterbund-type groups?
Hey Mike,
Even a letter from a lawyer, at minimal expense, should do the trick. I'm betting you're in on the ground floor on Friday. Derick
Oh have a look at this to cheer you up... homeless or not the weekend could be amusing:

For immediate relief, check with d strauss of exberliner, he has vacated his gigantic P'berg apartment for New York for the fall and may still be looking for a sublet.

Otherwise, I think Derick is right, it should only take a letter- then you can have the belle etage for studio prices. |
