y i k e s.. I realize "permanent" means different in hearing culture. nooo, not getting married!

what it meant in our culture (how I say it in sign language) was permanent home until I leave the state.. that home would have settled us down for a long time as we need it, no lease. flexiblity, spacious and not too far from school.

I thought of a few deals, e.g. a couple of free rents, an addendum, a contract of lease, etc., and this thread will be closed once the decision is made.

I'll share an update, and thank you all.
