Life Change, Pt.3 (personal shit)
5 months ago
Welp I should have mentioned this earlier but already within the first month of moving in (end of March) and there was problems.
The lease for fam's place ended in April, and even with the insistance and reminders from us (3+ times), the landlord kept just saying he'd send it and never did. For a month.
Prior to my moving in (Feb, so when we'd need to renew the lease or not soon), the family wanted a bigger place so we don't feel so claustrophobic, as the rental is a 2 bedroom condo of about 850sq for 3 people, then you include me to make 4, with 3 cats in total. They had spoken to the landlord about it and he wanted to move his parents into the condo and my family to take over his parents townhome, however the rent for the townhome would be simply too much for us so we had to decline but stated we'd stay another year (due to mom's health concerns about moving so soon). He had wanted to move his parents in for mid june - late july. Given previous red flag behaviors from him over the years, I guarantee the reason why he's refusing to give another yearly lease (forcing us on a month-to-month lease by default) is because he wants to evict my family (or jack the price so high that we'd be forced to leave) as soon as his parents are ready to move.
We don't want to get screwed over and would rather leave on our terms, not his.
So I spent time looking for a new place for everyone (mid April - late May), unfortunately a big enough place for 4 people, 2 bathrooms and 3 cats especially is a problem for most rentals in this city and severely limits our options.
I was extremely lucky with a find though. Not too far away from our old place (5-7 min drive), 1160sq condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a balcony, adults only (so no screaming kids in the hallways) and allowed for cats with a very sensible price considering most other places are smaller and cost similarly or more. We checked the place out, loved it and signed a lease a few days later.
I moved in first just this sunday, slowly we're moving things in (and paying two rents right now for June... ouch). We moved the essentials for mom in two days ago and she's here with me so I can take care of her and moving will commence over the month. I've sunk a lot of money in this move for everyone because no one else is able to help (strict budgets, lack of funds, etc), so it's stressing me out in combination with moving things yet again.
So just mentioning all this that streams and commissions will be delayed again. I'm very sorry guys!
It pains me a lot to feel like I'm disappointing my watchers with spotty streams and lack of art updates.

FA+

A lot of money went out the door those 4 months. It was painful
In the end, I have my house and it all worked out OK, just like I hope this move will work out OK for you, and that you no longer have a landlord who is going to act like a slime ball
Take as much time as you need! You'll never owe anyone anything more than you owe yourself~
