I’m really agitated at the moment. I came home from a wonderful tea date with a friend (my first formal tea ever) to a letter from our landlords. They want to give the house to their son (which we knew upon moving in they might do in 3-4 years, so we were hoping to get through next year here). We need to vacate the house by February 15.<\/p>\n
What’s distressing about this? One, it’s not on our timetable or by our choosing, and we were content living here. The rent is a really good deal. It’s a cute little house, 2-story with a garage and small lawn. Two, we are going away for holidays next week and lose housing search time.<\/p>\n
The landlords were happy to have us, saying we are excellent tenants and so on. It’s just that we had a month-to-month rental agreement, and they want to use the house now. <\/p>\n
*sigh* <\/p>\n
Often times surprises like this open the door to something even better. But I can’t embrace it quite yet. I see the amount of stuff we own and blanch. I looked at Craigslists and choked on the rental prices: $2600 monthly<\/strong> not including utilities for a 3 BR\/ 2.5 bath, no pets allowed.
