I've contacted some ranking USPS people and they are rallying on my behalf--they have been really great. I'm not angry with them. I understand what they must be having to deal with. I am furious with my landlord who is taking advantage and being a jerk. His wife told the judge they had someone else waiting to rent it--can you believe it? I am sure it is for a LOT more money than I am currently paying.
Yes, I am afraid I do believe it. I have seen this before under different circumstances when housing was at a premium.
I am sure it is for a LOT more money than I am currently paying.
I am sure this is the crux of the matter. It may be the money, it may be friends or family of one or the other of them, or it may be both.
It is a raw deal and a bad situation. How are you doing at finding another place? Expect that you may have to pay a lot more for one as landlords with liveable units discover how much those are at a premium. The advice about finding someone with units that need cleanup or repairs and trading 'sweat equity' for part or all of the rent (if you have the time and ability) may be your best bet if all else fails.
