Thank you for all your kind replies and advice. I do hope I didn’t sound ungrateful or unwilling to consider things. I just didn’t want to burn bridges with our apartment by threatening legal action when it appears they are fully within their rights and they’re probably the best deal regardless, and giving up my husband’s federal job with excellent benefits to move elsewhere, away from the concentration of jobs in his field and without an offer is, in our opinion, a really bad idea.

Anyway, the leasing office got back to us today and said the manager took a look at their regulations and the baby will not count towards the occupancy limit for the first year, so we would be able to move into a 1br here for a year and then either get out of the area or move to a 2br once that year is up.

We ran up against this early in our marriage. We weren’t anticipating having to move so many times! However, we were able to make plans during the year first year of a new baby’s life to save money and hunt for an affordable place. Eventually, our family outgrew the occupancy limits on any and all apartment buildings in our area. By then, we were in a position to purchase a house. The good news is that finances tend to improve for young families as time goes on. Your situation today will not be your situation in the future.

Thank you for the encouragement. 🙂 Living here has been very discouraging at times because of the high cost of living.
