Okay, problem.

1. I sign my lease Monday.
2. Apartment is available starting 1 February- Tuesday.
3. Apartment company charges a move-in fee, according to the realtor. This is more common than you'd think; I've found that quite a lot of NJ property owners do this, as do property owners in other states.
4. The move-in fee is $300 if I move on a weekday and $500 if I move on a weekend.
5. My father cannot help me move stuff on a weekday.
6. My building has no elevator.
7. I cannot move my own desk by myself. My bed, maybe. One plank at a time. But not my desk. And my boxes of books, well, they're big too.

If any of you are in the New York City area- or rather, the northern New Jersey area, specifically Jersey City- and can somehow help me move on Thursday, I would be soooooooooo grateful. Please? Anyone I actually know?

SO not worth it.

The $200 I would save by moving in on Thursday would instantly be eaten up by the pay for any moving help I might hire- I can't get my desk up the stairs myself, and even if I moved in alone it would be overwhelming. I shall eat the $200 and move on either Saturday or Sunday next. Unless the lady at the lease signing tells me that the moving fee covers the pay for three burly guys with their own back trusses or something.
