Tom and I went hunting rentals today. A lot of people don't advertise rentals. We found a couple. OMG! Can not believe the Health Dept would even allow them to be rented. The first one had a kitchen so small there was only room for 2 cabinets and one under the sink. Had a Black stove that I don't know if it could even work it looked so bad. The Frig also. Then there was a Water Heater less than arms length across from the stove...and it was not legal. There has to be a thing on top that regulates the water pressure...wasn't there. The bathroom needs calking, painting, and a better floor. The 2nd house would have been niced except it smells like Dogs, and the flooring has gaps between the wood boards. I almost fell walking through the living room area...and the floor was not even at ALL. The kitchen was better, but the stove was worse looking than the other one. The bathroom was okay, but the bedrooms would barely hold a full size bed let alone a Dresser. I just could not believe what I was seeing for $1,100 a month!
Anyway, tomorrow is another day. We do not want to rent some place for more than that for fear we might not be able to pay the rent every month like we do now.
We came home to find a For Sale sign in our yard. So I guess the landlord and that guy could not come to an agreement. Now I'm not sure if we have to be out by Jan 31st or not. This is so stressful.

I would be prepared to move, but wait for an offical eviction notice or notice of termination of lease. You may be able to work out something with the new hwner, so you can stay where you are.

If the sign is from a realtor you could maybe get the house without him knowing it

@Ghostlady It can be hard. Hope you can find something soon. We contacted a realtor when we were looking.

@Ghostlady I think it would benifit you to look into the services of a local realtor. They can explain what a VA loan is and how to use it. We used a VA loan to buy our house.

Finding a good house on reasonable rent has become difficult in India too and therefore people try and make their own house before retirement.
