Hi all, have been reading through these forums and they have been very helpful. Was hoping for some help in my situation.
I am currently in the process of renting a condo in Staten Island. It is a townhouse community. I found the condo through my realtor and I met with the owner of the condo about a week and a half ago. She loved us (the apartment is for me and my boyfriend, and our cat) and we signed the lease. She said she had to submit the lease to the board for approval. I gave her my security deposit, which was deposited into her account.
I heard from her last week and she said that the management company approved my application and that she was now just waiting for the board to approve.
From what I can gather, the board in a condo can only exercise its right of first refusal? So that would mean, unless they want to rent the condo under the same terms as my lease states, we should be approved? Is there any other reason they can turn us down?
I am just so nervous about this process. I have to be out of my current apartment and just want the official ok.
Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.
