Augh again! My landlord or letting agency want to terminate my lease. I have just over two months notice (I think). I don't know if this is due to the damp problems or is unrelated.

In a way it's a good thing I never felt this was really my home, because if I did, living under a sword of damocles would be really upsetting.

If it had been six months ago, I might have gone to pieces, because it would have meant moving in the middle of the wedding preparations, and while lots of other things are disorganised. Now I'm sufficiently on top of life I feel this is an unexpected requirement that I have the time to manage and may even turn out for the best, rather than a beam on the camel's back when it already has too many straws.

But the timing is really annoying. I was just beginning to get serious about looking into buying a house, but I almost certainly can't do that in two months, but don't really want to move somewhere else and sign another six month lease.

I think I'm on top of all the practical details, but emotional support or practical suggestions are much appreciated.

You could explain that predicament to the landlord and ask if they'll give you five-six months instead of two ....

Well um given the conversation I started with your wife earlier, what about looking for a job in Montreal?

Dearest, dearest badger, this is at best a hypothetical long-range plan. We are definitely not moving to Montreal by the first week in January 2013! Much as it would be lovely to be in the same city as you.

Gah, that sucks. Stupid sucky landlords.

Moving has its upsides though. Like... less damp? :-p
