The owner got us here under false pretenses. We are renting the main floor and second floor, with washer/dryer in basement, along with the 2nd bathroom. We were told that she wanted to keep the "office" in the basement for her own personal use. Then, in Feb. she tells us she will be renting it, or if we want to keep the whole house, the rent will goe up by about $400. So we decided that when the lease was up on June 30, we would leave.
Plan B was, if she gave us even only 2 weeks notice in April we could leave by May 1. Anyway, another part of plan B is no longer applicable, but the 2 weeks notice still is. So until April 15, we won't know for sure if we are moving or not, and where we are moving, or not. And those 2 weeks may end up being very short notice to find a good spot. So now, we are kind of hoping that she does not find anyone until June 30 or later, as the official two months notice is already given for being out of here on July 1. We can't really come back and say, we changed our minds, we now want to stay till June 30. She already thinks I'm crazy because,when I call her, the dryer is not working, but when she comes to fix it, it is working. But now that it has been "fixed" it is still not working. And I am certainly not calling her again.
I am so fed up of moving. We are thinking of selling all our wordly pssessions, except for the cushions, bed, tv and computer (and of course the pots & pans) and moving into a tiny bachelor appartment somewhere and sign a 10 yr lease. Thank God for nephews who have already offered their help. Guys as soon as we know what is happening, we will let you know.
I can't say that I actually like Ottawa.
