So I just found out I really can't afford to stay in my immediate neighborhood -- a place down the street is going to have something for double what I'm paying. Oops. Also met and commiserated with a couple of neighbors, one of whom was on his way home with liquor. Heh.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That sucks, Jesse.
It's totally reasonable for me to subscribe to Hulu+ just because there is one show I don't want to be 8 days behind on for the whole season, right?

Fuuuuuck. I have to move. As of 10/31. What's even more awesome is I'm supposed to be out of town that weekend.
Damn Jesse, when my last apartment went condo they gave us 2 months' notice and offered the possibility of extended rental for some folks who needed more time as long as there were still empty units to renovate.
One month seems like it would be violating some kind of housing laws if we're not talking about squatters or people behind on their rent.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Jesse, how frustrating and nerve-wracking. I hope the housing gods smile on you.

With a month-to-month lease, which we all have now, they only need to give one month. It's so shitty!

Is there another neighborhood that is as good for work? Also if a month is tighter than you can manage, one way to handle it would be to tell them you wont be able to find a new place sooner than (date six weeks or two months from yesterday). If you act like there is just no way you will leave before then, there is a good chance they will give you an extension. Because , depending on how much hassle your state makes evictions, an eviction procedure could take longer than that anyway, and involves legal hassle your new landlord would probably rather avoid. And if it looks like they will take a legal route anyway, you can always back down.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Feh, Jesse. I hope you find something easily.

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

While it totally sucks having to find a place and move when you aren't choosing that, why does it seem illegal? I mean, it's the basis of month-to-month, right? The same as, if Jesse *wanted* to move, she would only have had to give 30 days notice, no?
But it sucks to have to find a new place and move. It really does.
For a while, before things crashed, they were renovating apts all over my complex and I was always worried they'd do so many that I'd get booted so they could do mine too.
I'm sorry the letter was bad news, Jesse.

I was thinking in terms of what Typo Boy mentioned, where it can take more than a month to legally evict a resident who's not in good standing. I mean, I guess I see them being able to inform you that the month you just paid for will be your last, but legally enforcing the move-out date seems more of a gray area.

I don't know if they would actually come in on 10/31 and throw my stuff on the street, but I figure I'll talk to them about it first.
