Tweedledumb just called.
The Cake Eater Pad sold yesterday.
And the new owners want us out by the end of March.
As in they want our apartment to live in---because it's the nicer of the two---while they rent out the downstairs unit.
Fuck.
Pray for a miracle. Please.
UPDATE: Well, just got done chatting with the Cake Eater neighbors downstairs. Yesterday we got a call from them telling us that they'd put an offer in on the house. I wondered if their offer had been accepted, and they wanted our apartment to live in.
Turns out their offer was rejected. They hadn't been called by Tweedledumb yet. And they showed me their new six month lease they'd signed with the Great White Hunter landlord and there is a provision in it that if the house sells, well, the lease is terminated.
Which is a new one.
Not only wasn't that clause in our previous leases (we looked), but also Tweedledumb had promised us that any new lease we signed with the GWH would be honored. So we have duplicity on their part. Not like this counts for us, because they never sent us a new lease to sign---even though they'd promised they would, repeatedly--- so it looks like the downstairs neighbors are screwed as well. Even though they haven't gotten a phone call yet.
Sigh.

Posted by: sadie at February 26, 2005 02:10 PMWait a sec...do you have a current lease under which you are operating or do I understand that the old lease expired and you are operating month to month under the old lease?
It does make a difference.
I'm with Sadie and am begging for a mercy for you.
; )
Our current lease expires at the end of February.
Perfect timing, no?
Posted by: Kathy at February 26, 2005 08:11 PM:( We just went through that a few months back. The owner of the house we'd rented for nearly ten years decided to sell. First, she said we could stay till the house went on the market in 2005, but then decided we had 6 weeks to vacate. Still getting over the stress of that one.
I'll send good vibes your way.

I'm so sorry. That really sucks! However, maybe you'll find something nicer with a better landlord, one who actually fixes things!
