At the risk of jinxing my lease application, I found an apartment! I should be able to move soon; it's unoccupied but needs paint and some minor repairs.
It was a pretty awful day to wander around to different apartments and wait outside for rental agents to show up, though. Not only were all the sidewalks completely covered with ice for most of the day, the high was about 13°. Out of the wind. (Actual max temperatures were overnight, in the 30s.) So I was not very pleased with the guy who showed up 40 minutes late, after I'd called him twice to make sure he was coming. At least his apartments were the best ones, so the wait is now justified in my mind.
I think things are okay. Not fixed, but feeling like maybe someday they will be fixed.
I'm going to go rearrange paper cutouts of furniture now.
