A new chapter

Late in 2009 I recieved a call from the OMHM (Office municipal d'habitation de Montréal) advising me that I was being offered an apartment.
Just like that, out of the blue, after a five-year wait, I had to either accept or refuse the apartment during the course of a short telephone call - based only on an address and floor number. I accepted, and was told that a rental agent would communicate with me to set up an appointment to see the unit.
This is the story of my journey.
