moving

so, we learned the day before i had shannon that we had to move. the people we are "living" with have decided that they need to get rid of some debt, and the house is one of them. they are going to rent it out.
why can't we rent it, you ask? the zoning of the house is a little bizarre. the house is split into 2 separate apartments, and the zoning is for a single family house. it would take a lot of work to make the house suitable for a single family again. so, in order to rent out both sections of the house, they need to rent it to siblings. neither of us have any family who needs a place to live (actually, i have no family in the area at all). therefore, it isn't possible for us to stay here.
we have been looking everywhere for a place to move to. a 3-bed in rexburg is around $700. (housing in rexburg is slightly inflated) and we haven't been able to find anywhere that we could afford the deposit to. we looked into govt subsidized, and they won't let us in because we have bills that are more than 60 dys overdue. the application for the govt places states that if you have bills that are overdue, you don't qualify for govt subsidized (what! that makes no sense, i know). we did find a place for about $575 a mo, but one of you has to be a student. and i haven't decided whether or not i'm going to be able to handle school yet.
my neice was at work one day and talking to one of her co-workers. her co-worker mentioned that she had a place that was going to be up for rent in little bit. no thinking anything about it, she went home and was talking with her mother-in-law, who immediately put things together. they called the lady who had the place, and got it for us. it's $400 a mo, $200 dep, and a 3-bed. we haven't even seen the house, and we had no idea what was included and what wasn't. at that point, we were past caring and ready to take anything we could find. we did find out that there are no utilities included, but even then, i think it's only going to run us about $600 total a month. i don't know if there's a washer and dryer however, but even if there's only hook-ups, we'll think of something.
the guy who's currently in the house is supposed to be moving out sometime this week. and we should be able to move in sometime next week. depending on the state he leaves the house in, we might be able to work out a discount with the lady for going in and cleaning up after him. we'll see what happens.
