Finding a good flat for rent, which can meet all your demands is not an easy thing in a big city. I faced this problem after entering university when I had to find a place to live. At first, there was a problem with estate agents who posted most of the offers & asked money for their services. On no account I did want/I did wanted/did I want/did I wanted to give up & continued looking for a flat to rent from private landlords. Neither classifieds nor noticeboard had any suitable variants for me. So I decided to ask my friends for help & posted a message on my social network pages. No soon/Not soon/Not sooner/No sooner had I published the post than I started to get offers. So, in no time I had several appropriate options, which I needed to decide on. Not until I had looked over every flat did I make/did I made/I did make/did make I the final decision. I choose a one-room fat not far from the city centre with all the necessary appliances. However, did I little know/little did I know/little did I known about some rules I found out about as soon as I signed the lease(a legal agreement for using a building). So, under no circumstance/under no circumstances/under none circumstances/under not circumstances was I allowed to make noise after 10 p.m. I couldn`t have any pets either. And, whatsmore, I wasn`t allowed to invite my friends or organize any parties. Had I know/Had I knew/Had I known/Had I knows about the rules beforehand, I would have never chosen to live in this flat.
