Just when things were going well....I'm so upset

[angel1980]

Sorry to moan, I'm really upset.

As a lot of you know I had to move from my last house when my landlord kindly put it up for sale without telling me, I then moved into this apartment in October last year, being told by the letting agent that it will be secure (was a years tenancy to begin with and from then on would be carried on no problem)

This morning I got a letter from the landlord saying as it's coming up to the end of the tenancy, they are putting in on the market and I have first refusal to buy and if not then here is my 2 months notice.

I'm so upset, I really don't need this now, what with college happening soon I didn't need the stress of finding somewhere else to live. I've not told dp yet, I dunno what to do.

There's no way I can buy this as it's going to be up for sale at around £130,000.

I feel so guilty as all this moving is not doing ds any good, I can't change his school so don't want to move far.

Sorry for going on, better get looking at letting agents websites!!!

Sorry to hear that.

My ex and i had a house once, it was lovely, we were paying tha landlord our rent, wasnt much about 360 a month, quite good really at the time (about 5 year ago)

Anyway, after about 4 or 5 month, we got a letter, saying that he hadnt been paying his mortgage and that the house was being repossessed and we had a week to leave!!!!

[Katiequiggle]

Oh no, just what you need isn't it. I'm sure ds will be ok they bounce back so well don't they.

No advice just lots of hugs and sympathy.

[Netty]

Oh no! Hope you can find something else in the area soon.

[angel1980]

Thanks, I'm sorry to moan guys, it just seems like I'm having to move once a year and I've had enough!!! Pity me and dp can't afford to buy anywhere together really. :ac39:

[smirnoff]

stupid question, but have you tried the council?? your local council should have a list of reasonable rent private renting places that should be more secure...
is it worth a go???
I know how you feel, until we got this place (as much as i hate it...) we were moving every 6 months - year.. it was a nightmare.
Hope it works out ok for you....

[essexgirl]

oh no sorry to hear your news dont worry about ur ds it will be an adventure for him, its you that it will be hard for hope you find somewhere near and this time it's more permanent:crossfing for you

Thankyou for the links Smirnoff, I will have a good read of those. Re: the council, it is probably worth putting my name down on the housing association lists but the waiting list is so long that I'd have to be housed in a homeless unit or somewhere for about a year, but should this happen again it would make sense to be on the list, so i'll do that.

The problem with rentals here is that as soon as they are on the market, they are snapped up so I'm going to have to phone up every day and bug the letting agents as by the time they get in the paper or on the website, they are already gone!!

On a positive note I've found 2 properties, (both brand new 2 bed houses) which are available now and I'm going to view them tomorrow morning. :crossfing :crossfing :crossfing A little bit more than this place but not a lot.

[bikemad]

O nooooooooooooooooooooo not what you need!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed one of the houses tomorow are suitable.:yes:

[angel1980]

Ty. :crossfing

[twiglet333]

Im having the opposite problem, I want my landlord to kick me out , paul has said if they want to put the house we are in up for sale and we have to move we may as well move to scotland....

I do hope you get things sorted out tho, hugs x

[Bunny]

good luck, I hope you find somewhere nice to rent

[Girlzmum]

I hope you find somewhere new soon - it's a right pita but fingers crossed this will be the last move for a long time.

[angel1980]

Went to look at the house today and it's lovely, they said I could have it!

But I need to move in as soon as possible so I need to find out from my landlord whether they'll let me go earlier than the end of the tenancy. :crossfing

If i wait til then the house will have gone, it's brand new so if I don't take it now it'll be too late. Waiting for landlord to ring me back. Sooooo much to sort out, and probably another month offline like last time. :hissyfit:

But the good thing is, the owner wants to let it long term, so I won't have to worry about being kicked out after a year. Phew.

[Ravenfire]

What a nightmare for you! Glad to hear you have found somewhere nice and hope that it all works out for you.

[angel1980]

Thanks! Landlord said yes to moving out a month early, so I'm now off to pay some £ and pick up some forms from the new letting agent! I'll be moving in sometime this month!! Arghhh!

Oh well, can't moan that my life is boring! :laugh:

[Girlzmum]

God, moving, college and L starting new school - you're going to be up to your eyes!!!!! Hope it all goes well for you. xo

[bikemad]

So glad the house was nice n youve got it-hope you get all sorted n settle in quick.

[Rhianydd]

[Netty]

Hope the move goes smoothly.

At least moving soon means you should be settled in before school and college starts.
