landlord=major pain in the asss

To move or not move? To house hunt or not house hunt? These are the eternal questions. What you say? I thought you knew you were leaving, and have already started looking at new places to live. You are correct sir...but you have not accounted for our pain in the ass landlord.

So, we were supposed to meet with Hannah last night to discuss her selling the house and when we will be out. When is our last day, what date are we responsible for rent through, when can we expect our security deposit, will you give us 24 hours notice before you show the house.

We get an email late yesterday afternoon that she hasn't thought about any of this stuff at all and needs the weekend to decide what to do. She says now she is only THINKING of selling the house but not sure yet. GAAAAAAAAAAA. Now our time frame is even more in limbo than it was.

We wrote back to her, saying if she is going to sell the house, we want to be out March 15 or April 1, because it is going to be really inconvenient for all of us (especially us) to coordinate with them when they want to show the house and we want to minimize that. We said if she decides not to sell the house, we will honor the lease (which we were always going to do, until she said she was selling the house) and stay until the end of June.

But now, we're not meeting with her till next week sometime, and we still have no idea...should we look for houses for March or April? Should we not? We have found two really great houses, one of which we are seeing tonight, and I have no idea what to tell the owner. This is incredibly frustrating and unfair on her part. She's not the one whose life is on hold, she's not the one who doesn't know if she needs to be looking for a new place to live.
