Little update on the apartment hunt

Applications for the first option closed and I ended in place 5 of 951. Two dropped out when asked to confirm their interest, so now I'm 3rd and get a viewing tomorrow. Chances are slim that the other two both decline though, so I probably won't get it.

For the second option in the same building I'm in 6th place out of 988, but the confirmation period hasn't closed yet. There's a reasonable chance one or two still drop out before the viewing here as well.

Meanwhile, a third option in the same building came up. That one will be assigned by lottery rather than registration date though, and with 760 applications so far and still 3 days to go, I hardly stand a chance there. I did apply though, because you'll never know.

I was a little worried about why so many people were leaving there, but it turns out the whole building is being renovated and people had to clear their entire apartment and live in a container for three weeks while their apartment was worked on. It makes sense that some rather moved permanently. This also means even more options in the same building may become available over the next few weeks/months as more apartments get finished, and that they'll all be in great condition.
