Same here. Except the paperwork was dragged out a full month because the apartment manager was dragging his heels on filling out a one-sided one-paged reference sheet.

When I was looking for apartments last year, one of the places I looked at, they tried to pressure me into signing right there and then. I stalled (for one thing, at the time I wasn't entirely sure how much money I was going to be making yet, so I didn't want to commit to a lease right away), and they told me that they had two other people coming to see the apartment and it would be snapped up if I didn't sign then. A week or two later I decided on a different apartment. A week after I signed the lease for that apartment, the first place contacts me and asks me if I'm still interested. The apartment was still available.

Neko_Ali:
I'm with Elliot here. I lost a place to live that I really liked once because I thought 'Let me sleep on it and get back to you' was the 'right' thing to do. Turns out when I called back the next morning it had already been rented. You snooze, you lose. You can't just ask yourself 'What could go wrong?' You also have to ask 'What could go right?'

Tova:
I am with Elliot as well. The thing is, you need to turn up knowing what your decision will be once you have answers to your questions. If you have the answers to your questions and you're still not sure, then you haven't prepared properly.

Anyway, I doubt that sleeping on their decision will change it. It'll more likely just make her feel more comfortable with it. As Castlerook mentioned.

Well, it was over a firetrap dive bar.

Regarding heat, here in the Pacific Northwest hydroelectric was dirt cheap for years.  I heat with electricity with a wood stove fireplace insert for back-up but my neighbor across the street is on natural gas.  My parents heated our WWII-era constructed house with oil.  I can't remember the last time I saw new construction with oil heat or even a tank truck delivering heating oil to a residence.  No one I know of heats with coal here anymore.
