Another showing

I showed my condo to another renter last night. He really liked the place, but said the rent might be a bit to much for him. He said he'd let me know today... He still hasn't phoned, so I expect he won't.
I saw my Fitness Coordinator today before my class, and we got to talking about my new place. I mentioned that I'm still seeking a renter for my condo, and she mentioned to me that there is a PT manager coming here from out of town that will be looking for a place to rent. Hmmmm... She suggested I talk to our PT manager about it. (I will definitely do that once the day is over, and if I've still recieved no call!) So, all in all I'm not too worried... the right renter will want to rent it soon!

I'm going to try my luck at cooking again tonight... (Scary, I know. Because on Monday night, Collin and I ate raw veggies because I just can't cook. It sucked h.a.r.d. c.o.r.e!)
Since it's going to be a rainy, cool kinda evening I've decided to make something outta pasta.... Thanks to KraftCanada.com... I'll be attempting Made-Over Chicken Tetrazzini.

Wish me luck, with my track record... I'll probably need it! ;)

New Tenant?

I had a woman call me who was very interested in seeing my condo... she actually called twice since I missed her first call altogether somehow! (not uncommon, actually!) So I met her at my condo yesterday around 6:45.
She got a little lost getting to the condo, so I was trying to give her directions which was just a complete mess! lol She finally arrived at the condo and parked like a total woman! LOL (She could have just drove into the spot nose first, but instead, she tried to parallel park, and ended up many feet away from the curb and put her hazards on! (WTF?)
Anyways, once she got out of her Santa Fe, she apologized for being lost and shook my hand... I introduced her to Collin and we proceeded to show her the condo. She loved the place right off the bat (actually, she loved the fact that the outside of the building is pink! Who is this woman??? ) She really rushed through the condo, (considering she told us she's a home inspector, I'd have expected her to spend a little more time checking out the finer details, whouldn't you?) I even noted that she didn't even go into the ensuite bathroom... Did she not care if I had a mold problem? Did she just assume that since the main floor looked clean that the rest of the place was? Again, seemed ODD!
She did have concerns that her boyfriend's truck would not fit in the parkade (as did I) so I took her out there to check it out. We determined that it would infact NOT fit, so he'd have to park his work truck on the street. (Ugh... not my favorite idea, considering what happened to Collin's work truck!) But she called her BF to see if that would be ok, and he said OK.
At that point she was ready to hand me over a cheque for the damage deposit, and I had to simmer her down. "Uh... I'd like you to fill out some paperwork first, as I don't really know who you are!" I said. "Of course", so she hands me her drivers license... which looked very legit!
She then said "Ok, no pressure, I'll leave you with my buisness card, and tomorrow we can get together to fill out the paperwork... and I'll bring my BF then too so you can meet him."

Ahhh... I'm feeling so much pressure. I also noticed (from her raspy voice, mostly) that she was a smoker (then I saw the proof: smokes and lighter in her vehicle) I definitely didn't want a smoker living there... So what do I do??? Wait for another potaential renter, one more suited to my wants? Or do I ask her politely to not smoke in the condo (yeah, right... I can't see that happening!) and hope she will be a decent person and obey my wishes??? (I also used Canada411 and Telus Phone Book to check out the credentials on her apparent "business", and I seem to be finding different information in the different sources that I check... I'm not fully convinced it's legit! How can I find out for sure??? HELP!
