That sucks. I just realized that is a possible outcome when renting. Must be rare but can still happen.
My building is dying and I'l be homeless soon. I finally met up with a rep from the 3rd party company who is working to relocate us. According to the Director, they have a '99.7% success rate'.
Me: So what's the process for relocation?
Her: We send you Craigslist postings and you do the rest
Me: You're really earning your money from Anthem aren't you?
At the very least, I'll have to budget an extra $300 per month and that's for a suite that's 100sq/ft smaller than what I have now otherwise I'm potentially looking at an extra $500. I can't imagine what the seniors and people on social assistance are going through.
===============================================
Sometimes I just to run away form this city. Speaking strictly anecdotally, I met up with some friends last week (whom I haven't seen in over a year) and all of them had grim stories. Unemployment, fatherhood but not ready for it yet hiding it (we can tell). One friend changed jobs again (he's now had 6 in 9 years). He's in IT and tells me there's plenty of jobs but it's all equally shit. I think he's getting tired. Seems many people I know are. The bars on the hamster wheel seem to tighten every year. Everyone working hard in an expensive part of the world. Debt goes up, hard to save so you just keep running on that wheel.
Oh good, it's Monday. Back to it I go...
