Do I move in or bail out?
So, I think I found an apartment, but now I’m not so sure. I found a really cute place, nice roommate, great neighborhood, really cheap rent. It’s just that the apartment is really, really small.And I have a LOT of stuff. And the cost of putting things in storage is prohibitive (essentially negating the point of the cheap rent). And I’m so stressed about cramming all of my stuff in there that I’m awake with a stomachache at 12:30 in the morning. I like my stuff. I’m a nester. I like my 340 CDs, books, 56 pairs of shoes, and big comfy sofa.
But I already told the roomie that I’d move in. Should I bail on him? Move in anyway and hope for the best? Cram boxes with friends all over town? Help!
Extra detail: I can’t loft my bed, the ceiling is too low.
I like my stuff – I find familiar clutter really comforting. So I wrote the guy a really nice email saying that while I would love to live with him, I just can’t live in that apartment. I like space and I like my junk. (Especially since I’m in the middle of getting divorced, I want my security blanket of useless crap.)

Can we keep buyer depost and sue appraiser?
We sold our house about a month ago. The buyers were non-contingent. They have signed off on everything except the appraisal. Our house is 3133 square feet and county records show that. The appaiser says it is only 2864 square feet and did not measure the house. He is basing it off of comps in the neighborhood. We have an extra room that those homes don’t have. The house appraised for the purchase price, but the buyers might back out because they think the house is smaller than what was listed because of what the appraiser is saying. Are we entitled to the buyers deposit? Can we sue the appraiser for giving out wrong information which resulted us in the loss of a sale? The market has dropped since we sold and there is no way we can come close to getting another offer like this.
Thanks to everyone who responded. It turns on the appraiser was WRONG. He came back, not very willingly, and admitted that he missed an entire room and not the room we thought. We are still trying to figure out how you can walk past this particular room and assume that it is not part of the house. The thing that irritates me the most is he claimed, I don’t get paid to come back a second time. Well, if you do your job right the first time, you wouldn’t have to come back. I know mistakes happen, but he was so adamant that he wasn’t wrong, even when we were providing all the facts that he was. Sorry for the vent! This is a very stressful time.

Please Help!!!?
My husband and I want to tranfer to a new house where there is better community and neighborhood. He told me to rent an apartment first while waiting for somebody to buy his old house. Is it advisable to rent an apartment first while waiting for somebody to buy the house or move to a new house.
