I had the worst new-years. Today is my Cake Day 2.0 at least

The last 3 days have been hell for me.
I had given my (now ex) landlord months notice that we would be moving out in January to find a bigger place, and it would most likely be on the 15th. He confirmed the date, had no problem with it. A few times go by when we talk about the date and he seems to have no stipulations.
At about 2pm on December 30th my landlord texted me asking me what time we would be out on the first.
We had already submitted our deposit to our new house, and it won't be ready for the 15th, no matter what I said, no matter how I pleaded, he claimed that I was to be out on the first.
Since the unit didn't have a stove, and our bathroom hallway was up a small flight of stairs and there was another rented out bedroom, we didn't fall under the Landlord Tenant act, so there was literally nothing we could do.

Over the day and a half notice we had, we packed up our entire apartment, and somehow found a family/friends place to keep our stuff in a garage and sleep.

Yesterday moving I was pretty much on my own since my girlfriend had to work and I don't really have many other friends.

Somehow I was able to move everything, and when I was done I just passed out.
Now we have bad news that my girlfriend will need to go down to part time due to low call-flow.
Ontop of all of that, i didn't hear from a SINGLE family memeber over the holidays. Not a call, text, message, email, poke, anything.

I guess I'll just need to push a little harder.

Today is my Cake Day 2.0 at least, so I've got that going for me.

inhale. exhale. you;re alive, you have each other. things are tough, and could get tougher, but they WILL get better. there have been 1/2

months where we were "living on love" because we could barely afford food. but only 13 more days, you'll have your house, and if you need2/3

to talk, I'm more than willing to listen. Chin up :) -end-

Aw buddy I'm sorry. Hey! Take it as a sign! Things cant go up with out going down first! Your year will ROCK! :D

theHazardMan

That is false. Things can go up, and then go up again.

For a second i thought you were trying to be a total downer. :P

OP... where do you live? You're very likely to fall under the residential tenancies act of your province, if you're in Canada.

In Ontario. Since the unit has no stove and our bathroom hall had a rented bedroom, our unit fell under a 'room'. Which LTA doesn't cover

Did you have to share the kitchen/bathroom with any of these:the owner, the owner’s spouse, child or parent or the spouse’s child or parent?

1/? Had permissions on the lease to go upstairs to use their stove further making it fall under the room section :/ the kitchen was right on

2/2 top of our bedroom, they didn't respect us (water on while in the shower, stomping in kitchen @ 3am etc) so we just thought we'd deal

Note that you still have contractual rights, even without the RTA.
