Do you have a lease? It's very dependent on local laws, but in most places he should have to honor it. And at any rate he has to give reasonable notice (though presumably his idea is payment in lieu.)
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Because books.
Yeah, I would imagine 30 days' notice at least, if not 60.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this now, Laura, when you have so much on your plate already. Delegate where you can.

Secret Santa gifts have been purchased! They will be relayed to their recipient Real Soon Now.
Now all I have to do is buy presents for everyone in my family.
This.
Although this year has been a little different as family goes. I brokered a deal with my sister and dad that instead of doing gifts for each other, I will buy tickets for the Packer game at Lambeau next week, my sister will provide the tailgate, and my dad will make wassail, get handwarmers, and be designated driver. Done!
But then yesterday I also strong-armed my brother and his wife into buying a really nice coat for my sister, so now I need to get a little more focused on buying him and SIL something nice.

Our wings are not tired
Unfortunately I just did a quick check on FL Rental laws and if the rental property is on a month to month lease then the Landlord only needs to give notice 15 days before the end of the current monthly rental period. Assuming that the lease is month to month on calendar months, then if he has already given notice Laura will need to be out by January 1st.
Looks like FL doesn't do much to protect the renter. In CA it's 60 days if the tenant has lived there for 1 year or longer and 30 days if less than one year.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help Laura. Pix and I will be in your area at the end of the month and even if it's just taking you guys out to dinner or giving you an escape for a few hours we'd love to help.

Florida is not a renter friendly state. The new owner guy seems nice enough and seems willing to pay a price to get us out. It is mostly having to make decisions and do stuff when time and mental energy is at such a premium.
I do indeed look forward to seeing you and Pix when you get here. A most welcome distraction!

Wow, 15 days?? That's shitty! You'd think they'd have to at least give 30.

I'm sorry about the impending move, Laura.
In other news, my Secret Santa gift is on its way to its recipient. Yay!

I got a card! From not-my-secret-Santa! Unexpected and delightful, especially today.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
So did I, Amy!
The timing of it couldn't be better. I'm feeling exhausted and on-edge, and it was such a lovely thing to receive at the end of a long day.
Thank you, not-my-secret-Santa!
