Deal Breakers

I spoke with the ex this weekend. He has been searching for an apartment (or room) for the upcoming school year with little success. He went to look at a place on Friday which was only $250/month.

There is always a reason why things are so cheap.

This place had very low ceilings. It was advertised as 7 ft ceilings. Ex thought that would be fine, as he isn't 7 ft tall. However, when he got there and was actually standing in the space, he couldn't stand up straight.

He had to bend his head to the side.

He's 6'4.

That wasn't even the deal breaker though. He was fine with living in a place where he would never be able to fully stand up. Then the person who was living there said he would be going into ex's room from time to time to use the storage space that was in there.

The storage space was what made him decide not to rent the room.
