So, when we returned from Florida…I called our top choice for housing the very next day on Monday, June 4th.  The people seem very relaxed and do not sense the urgency that I have to make sure we can reserve a unit.  This is a condo conversion that offers short-term, furnished rentals.  It is one of the only places that I can find and has a great location near the hospital.  After calling 2x per day asking for the rental application, they sent it to me last night.  I completed the rental application this morning and called the property to speak to them again.  Proactively, I asked if I could include the security deposit along with the application.  Wow…it is a good thing that I work in the rental housing industry…these people are not real swift!  Anyway, I mailed off the checks and application this afternoon.  They should receive it on Monday and told me it could take up to a week to process.  I really hope this goes through – – if not, I do not have a back-up plan!
