found a second possible place...now what?

So a friend recently moved to Shiloh about a month ago, and we asked him if there was any available units in his building. Called his landlord and there is, ground floor, one bedroom, one bathroom, nice backyard to take the dogs to. This one is again in our price range.

We're terrified.
Our options are limited, but moving that far away from where we are now is going to be different for sure. But if we can't find anything else that will allow our dogs....then what do we do when september ends and randy doesn't pay the $250 and we're expected to pay $700 for where we are now... that won't work. And if we don't take this place and that happens we have no where to go.
He refuses to stay with my dad and the dogs can't go to his parents. Our car is only a corsica. It will not be comfortable. and thor's horrible in the car. We have to just take this opportunity for the apartment we've found and hope it works out. We have no other choice.

Update on this. We decided against this apartment. It's just too far from where we want to be, and our friend talked to her aunt and that seemed like a better prospect. plus it was in the Hood!
