Hurlshort Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Soooo...I just found out the house we have been renting for 7 years is no longer an option. The landlord wants to move back. We have 60 days to figure out what to do. It will be tough to walk away from this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoman2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 despite all the hustle with the taxes, being the owner of the house at least makes it impossible for anyone to tell me "go find a new home" The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Lexx Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'm curious if he really wants to move back, or if he just wants you out. 60 days feels quite short as well. No idea if I could manage finding something new around here in that timespan. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Hurlshort Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 60 days is the minimum if you have rented more than a year. He is selling his other home, which makes plenty of sense in the current market. I assume he simply wants our home empty so whenever he does close he can transition easily.I mean I can hold my breathe and hope his house doesn't sell easily, but currently places are going for over asking prices and getting dozens of bids in our area. On a related note, buying is not an option for us. My biggest concern is our dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Turned up for the Computing Forum that was today, which was meant to be a group of hte senior lecturers having a discussion with a bunch of students about what works on the Computing degrees, what doesn't work, what engages them, what goes wrong, etc.... Of course, for various reasons, I was the sole student there. So I got to spend an hour with the lecturers walking me through each of the units I do and talking about the good points and bad points of the course.

majestic Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Was without interweb after my cable modem died after almost 20 years of faithful service. The guy at the service point barely believed his eyes when he saw the thing. I also took the offered cable package upgrade. I now pay less per month for four times the bandwidth (in return I lost the second public IP I had until now, which I no longer need). =) Iirc, landlords (and tenets) are only required to provide 30 days notice. Here in commie land unless you initially agreed upon a fixed term a landlord cannot unilaterally terminate a tenancy agreement at any given point unless the tenant is in clear violation of the contract or represents a danger to the building or other tenants.

Same here, while under lease. An interesting thing can happen here regarding leases though. Lets say you sign a 12 month lease. At the end of the lease you will usually sign a new lease or move, but sometimes the landlord will allow you to stay on a month-to-month basis. That means you keep living there but are no longer under the obligations of a lease, nor the protections.

Hurlshort Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That is the same way it works in California, most leases revert to month-to-month when the lease ends. Given that I was renting from a guy and not a company, he only re-did the lease once, so we were typically month-to-month. It's a pro and con situation, as a new lease typically comes with a higher rent, but it also gives another year of stability. I'd love to sign a longer lease, but those are rarely offered in these parts where rent rises so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ever go through one of those phases where eating is just too much bother and you're never hungry to boot? That's me the past few weeks. I eat a piece of toast or small bowl of soup now and then. Got on the scale this morning and I guess I've lost 6 pounds. Pffft. Still not hungry. “Things are as they are.

I would have none of that and started eating like a madman. Only gained 5kg. Reverted back to not eating much. I'm eating 3 small portions per day. On the plus side, while I did already lose a fair bit of weight over a year ago, I haven't been this weight since I was 25. Sadly not being hungry doesn't also include motivation to do huge amounts of toning/muscle exercise, so I still won't be wearing a bikini like I did back then. Dealing with mother's will stuff. I mean, not officially, I'm not the main Trustee, but still legal stuff to deal with. Which I'm sort of avoiding/procrastinating. Don't care about wills. But guess I have to still "do something" regardless. Maybe I can sign something to the effect of "I don't want anything, just leave me alone." Enjoying the rain this weekend. Went to the store this afternoon and found myself skipping through the puddles. It was a good mood-lift. “Things are as they are.
