Or can you ask for a clause that lets you out of leasein case of unemployment or a new job more than 50 miles from current home? In this economy that would be protection for the landlord as well as the tenant, a good idea even if you were not looking to move. Some apartment leases have this as a standard clause. And you can just say that in this economy nobody can guarantee their job is secure and that if, God forbid, the worst happens you will have to take a new job where you can get it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
smonster, good luck with negotiating for a workable solution for you and your landlady.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll counteroffer a six-month lease and see what she says. She knows I want to move to New Orleans - we are friends, though not close. I don't know that she'd be amenable to such a clause, but I can try.
It's certainly lighting a fire under my ass.
eta much, much kitty~ma to Fred Pete and Hubs. Get better, wee Victor!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
~ma for Victor! Poor kitty, get better.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Kitty~ma, Victor.
I forgot to mention we had a fantastic time at Cafe Gratitude. Yes the menu is silly but the people who work there are so earnestly lighthearted that it totally works. You know the kind of person that when you meet them the first time you know they are going to hug you but you like it anyway?
And holy cow (heh) the food! The best milkshake I've ever had didn't have any milk in it. I had a coconut sandwich. D had tacos made with flax and millet seeds. I can't even begin to describe the chocolate mousse.
If any LAista wants to meet up there I am down.

Is that the place where they make you do your order in a certain way, like you can't just say "I want the Rainbow" you have to say, "I am Rainbow"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
