good news atlast

Well this may be good news I don't know...I agree with HICCUP---you MAY be covered for awhile but then again not. I'm thinking of the legal ramifications here. Number One: When your new lease was up he asked $100 extra, you refused and he claimed he had rented the apt out after July 1st Number Two: he obviously DIDN'T rent out the apt but still can if he has the mind to do so since he can view you as being uncooperative Number Three: He was very generous in lowering his $100 to only $30 extra a month and you still refuse to pay that, which leads to..... From a legal stance he could actually view you as a "squatter" since I'm taking no formal signed new lease was made...was it? If so the next papers he might spring up is eviction if he's a nasty so and so whatever you do,..you better high tail it and continue to look for a new place to live ..in other words get moving and really looking around I've had my own share of legal issues with landlords so I'm speaking from experience---thankfully I won against my landlord...a prospect he's probably not happy with but I had a lot of great legal help to fight for me

that is really good news. and something to really be thankful about. i have read one of your post about this moving out. and this next, this is really great. mine's something like this i made my goal last month was able to pay one month of my mortgage yesterday, so for now i will not be kicked out of my house too.

That is wonderful, Carol! You're so right - waiting to worry about next year until it comes will keep us all sane! I am so very happy that this burden will be lifted off of your shoulders. I guess I have some good news. My mom has a job interview at 9:30am and I think she stands a great chance of getting the job. If she does, she and my dad will have health insurance again. Theirs has only been expired two days, but with my mom's medication needs, and my dad's worsening hearing, they need medical insurance. My dad's full time job does not provide health insurance.

That is great to hear. I am glad that it all got worked out for you. I have been working around my house alot lately and online. I have been painting my walls and I still have to do the ceiling, which will take a very long time to do. I hope my house payment does not go up next month when they send out the new coupon book. I hope it goes down. We will have to wait and see.

WOW! So glad to hear you are going to okay. Winter will be upon us sooner than we like. Good, good and good. I have had a weird run of luck later. First the guy thing, then my girlfriend accused me of stealing from her, Then my best friend in all the world called me Sunday and told me her son had passed away last Thursday. She had a problem with her cell and lost my number so she couldn't call me. I felt so bad. And then, if that wasn't enough, I had to take my daughter to the hospital lastnight because she had a miscarriage back in late April and it wasn't taken care of correctly. Is this Karma or what? Glad for you and your situation though.

What a relief! Congratulations! This gives you plenty of time to keep looking so that when next year rolls around you can move out and not have to pay the increase.

WOW wtg! adn as you are set on a set income dont know how he can rasie rent that high . He proably found out he couldnt rent it out for the amount he wants. Her we HAve My SIL's Mother for a visit but later she is to caome back to live. Also SIL's brothers girlfriend came up with her ya can read my post if ya have me on notify. BUt am so happy for you that you get to stay another year maybe by then ya can find aplace to move too.

Its really good news. I this one year try to save some. so that you can pay next year or see a new home next year. It will be good for the time being.

Well, I have been quite busy and will stay that way this summer, as there is so much to do and not enough time to do everything. I'm glad to hear your landlord didn't raise the rent now and your right who knows what can happen next year. Good luck and hope all is easier now.

That is fantastic news Winterose as I know it has been a major worry for you. Montreal has strange housing rules though as here in the UK you find somewhere to rent put a deposit down and then give a months notice to current landlord, not all move the same day of the year. Not been up to much myself and been away from here as computer connectivity playing up but am going to visit friends at the weekend. Huggles. Ellie :D

I'm very happy to hear your good news! I was thinking about you and wondering what was going on, but didn't have reliable internet connection for a few days now. (I HOPE that's over now.) If I were you, I'd keep looking for a new place right now and not stop until I found one, because you'll have to face this all over again next year and, chances are, your landlord won't be as nice next year. But, for now, I'm extremely happy to hear that that immense stress if off you! That's really awesome news! As for me, I'm just exhausted. The weather has been mostly good for the past four days except for some drizzle and a couple of bad storms in two of those days, so I've been doing a lot outdoors. My youngest son's birthday was Monday but, since he had to work, we celebrated yesterday, even though it was cut short because of a party he had to go to last night plus a major storm that rolled through here. (He wanted to get home before the storm hit and get ready for his party with his friends.) My youngest son came over on Tuesday and we went boating. Actually, the "boat" is an inflatable boat that supposedly seats four, although two adults fit comfortably. Anyway, he inflated it for me for the first time since I bought it last year and managed to get me into it and we went all around the lake; he rowed while I fished. We had a blast! He actually loved the peace and quiet and it was a lovely day. Not much wind, partly cloudy so it didn't get too hot, and the fish were biting. Aside from that, I received a check in the mail from Social Security, although it was not the check I've been waiting for. This was a check reimbursing me for the mileage to and from the psyche evaluation the judge wanted. It was enough to buy my oldest son a nice gift, plus have his favorite dinner (which was more like a late lunch since he had that party later) of hamburgers on the grill, corn on the cob, potato salad and his favorite ice cream, butter pecan. I also found a butter pecan cake mix which I thought was pretty cool and made that. It tasted really good! Just like the ice cream only in cake form. Let's see... anything else? Uh, no, except for the internet problems, plus my desktop getting ready to die. It's been pretty quiet, for the most part. Well, my cat has caught and killed at least 3 mice and 1 bird in the past week but I see that as 3 mice and 1 bird that won't be eating my fruits and veggies! LOL

Hello ma'm I know from the beginning you posted this problem of yours and I got worried also. I haven't read your topics anymore for quite sometime thinking that you're already gone somewhere because you had been thrown out by your landlord. Suddenly you pop up with the feeling of happiness. Ohhhh thank God..I am really happy for you ma'm. Just don't be worried of tomorrow's problem because as what the Bible says, tomorrow has its own problem...let's enjoy the happy moment God give us today and don't worry for the next problem of tomorrow...Cheer up ma'm..I am really happy for you...

Hi that really is good news. If I were you though between now and then I would check the internet or go to a Citizens Advice place and see if there is a limit to how much he can put the rent up and things like that. Be armed with all the information when he talks next year.

Hello winterose! It's good to know that you did not lose your home. Even if there is still a problem that will come next year, at least you'll have enough time to prepare for it, right?

That is certainly good news my friend. It gives you far more time to look for somewhere else to live and your landlord is fixing your garden for you. I'm so pleased to hear all this. Perhaps things will start to get on a more even keel now. Brightest Blessings.

pretty much the same thing, trying to keep up with the bills while hubby is out of work. he works in auto parts and it is hit the worst in this economy. I wish he works in different field we won't suffer as much push backs. that's really good news your landlord finally comes to term. in our case if things don't get better soon we will have to sell the house or end up in shelter too. I hope it will never get to that, but winter is coming soon and hydro/gas bills will rise again. I don't know if we will make it through next winter at all.

Well, good for you! Now you can relax a bit. Will you keep looking for another place or wait a bit?

that's great news, Winterose! That really is a stressful situation. I'm glad that your landlord compromised and you are able to relax and breathe deep for a bit. Just don't forget how quickly time flies and next year will be here before you know it. Maybe you should be keeping your ears open for a more affordable place. At least this buys you some time. Do you qualify for any rental subsidy? If so or if your not sure....now would be the time to check it out. Often times they will subsidize the place you are in but they will require the landlord to make some repairs if needed. best of luck to you.

I am glad to hear that, winterose. I know you are thankful that you have been given a whole year to find another place if you desire. I will pray that things will work out for you next year. God Be With You. Have a wonderful week,

Congratulations!Disturbing the economic crisis,i hope you quite the past!i am also affected by economic crisis,we want everyone to keep the hope that tomorrow!I firmly belive that!
