I wish I knew the real answer with certainty but the only thing I can guess is the one signing the paychecks didn't like the fact that the new gal made a good suggestion and rocked the boat her first week. He must have been stewing about it for weeks because I didn't have any other "run ins" with anyone since. *We're still trying to see if we can scrape together the first and last month's rent for the better home. It may require eating ramen noodles for a few weeks.* Fingers crossed!
