Do you have a preference, if they both offer you the position?
Yes, I received the sample lease agreement. I showed it to Bill, who advised me to scratch out one of the clauses--he says that landlords always try to put it in, and when knowledgeable tenants cross it out, generally they don't fuss about it. But if they do, it's better to walk away.
We still have to decide if we want to take it. I know the rent's a bit higher than we wanted to spend. But I'm not sure we'd have a better chance to get into that neighbourhood.
