Illinois is one of the better states with regard to tenant rights and responsibilities. You might need to check out the docs in your county, but there are fixed dates to which Tep alluded.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I need to double check when I found that sign. It's been stressful and my tendency to avoid and be in denial is not helping me.

BTW, I'm not necessarily recommending this, but in many places, it can take awhile to evict a person. So you might want to check out your rights regarding when they can kick you out. This may not work to your advantage since you will be looking for another place to live and they will probably want to contact your last/most recent landlord.

Yeah, it sucks, sumi, but you're going to have be active about this one.

It was the end of January - so they've given me more than 30 days but I had some hope that I'd be able to negotiate something

Thank you.
In addition, my best friend's father is dying. She and her sisters are essentially just sitting vigil.
And I went to the memorial service for a close friend of another one of y close friends.
Well, I have google some apartments and one of them got back to me. . so that's something.

Because books.
I've been given notice that they will not allow me to stay and I have until Feb 28th to get out.
Oh, sumi, I'm so sorry. We were literally just there. (We're at my parents' temporarily.) It is hugely stressful, but your best bet is to start looking for something immediately, and get out. By doing it this way, they're not giving you an official eviction notice, which some rental places will ask about later, and even though actual eviction can take time, there are ways for a landlord to get around it (as we found out the hard way).
All kinds of ~ma and many hugs.

sumi, I'm so sorry. I hope you can figure something out quickly. Tons of ~ma headed your way.
Laura, I'm so glad you weren't hurt.
TCG and I went to see Crime and Punishment at Trinity Rep in Providence today. Dan Butler was in it. I guess he has been a regular at Trinity once upon a time, but it was before I started seeing plays there. The adaptation was excellent, and we went out for a mostly free to us (thanks to a Christmas gift of a groupon) dinner.
