Today, I was finally starting to relax after a stressful and expensive move, where I had to give up half my belongings and furniture, as well as my cat. All the stress came rushing back as my new landlord told me that he's selling the building and I've got 30 days to vacate. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my landlord's control issue got out of control when I got a call telling me I have "too much stuff" and have to move out of the apartment. I sold all my furniture when I moved in and all I currently own is a scratch post, a chair and a pair of curtains. FML
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML
Today, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML
Moving day
Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML
Today, my roommate is being evicted. Since we had some very good memories together, I was sad to come home and see all of her stuff gone...and half of my stuff, too. FML
It like to move it move it
Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML
Today, the lease on my house ended and I finished moving in with my girlfriend. After everything was moved in, she broke up with me. Hello homelessness. FML
Today, I received an eviction notice taped to my door stating my landlord is selling his property and moving out of the country in 13 days. My landlord is my boyfriend. FML
Where to now?
Today, I was finally leaving my hometown to live in my dream city. Everything was packed, keys were handed in, goodbyes were made. The moment my truck began pulling out to get underway, the guy I'd gotten a room from in my new city called to inform me that he'd decided to rent to someone else. FML
Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. FML

Whut! I'm no legal expert, but wouldn't that be breach of contract?

YDI, a cat is a fuzzy friend, a new place to live isn't worth giving that up.

That depends on what is actually written in the contract.

Only if OP has a lease.
Spongybunny 2
Not necessarily, OP might be on a 30 day lease or might not have a signed lease at all.

The building can change ownership, and if there is a lease that overlaps that, it must be legally honored until expiration by the new owner as well.

Can't tell if serious

He's rarely ever serious. If he is, he gets downvoted to hell.

I don't know if he's serious or not, but I'm going to agree anyway. I wouldn't give up my cats for a new home.
Xion0014 20
Agreed. You can get an emotional support license for your pet so you can travel and go anywhere with your pet without being denied

I don't **** around when it comes to cats.

It's not because the cat can't move but because in most cases the cat will go back to its old house. We dropped our cat at our grandparents house so they would have somewhere to be while we weren't home. First year was fine, but the next one of them didn't want to be there and she spent two months finding her way back home. It's a 30 minutes walk from our house. Cats don't move as easily as dogs, amd I do not recommend getting a cat unless you're planning on living in that house/apartment for the rest of that cats life.

#28 I've owned cats my whole life, and moved with multiple cats more then once. I've never had an issue. Just like any other animal, including humans, it depends on the cat and their personality and preference
brandonc8892 13
Seriously? No. Stop. Your opinion is ridiculous!
DoomSkuller 28
Everyone seems to be overlooking some potential key factors: maybe the landlord had a no pets policy, and maybe the place was the only place OP could find that was both affordable and in an ideal location for him
MrConcise 35
**** that noise. When you adopt a pet of any kind, you are putting another life in your hands. You make sacrifices for that animal regardless of the circumstances because it depends on you. If you're not willing to do that, don't have a pet.
Lizza330 28
That's not a good idea. People who actually need that license can end up getting denied because everyone else abuses it. The people giving out the license might just think that someone who actually needs it might just be looking for a way to take their pet everywhere.

#27 It's always a good thing to stay monogamous.

Totally agree with you, #2 (:
Queen_of_Night 20
100% agree #2! I trucked 3 cats and a dog half way across the US and then paid a $1500 security deposit for the little monsters. Pets are family!

you wouldn't give up your children if your new place didn't accept children, you would find a new place and make sacrifices even if it inconveniences you. so why don't you do that for your pets? my pet's are like family and I already made it clear that I'd rather live in a tent with my cats in the woods than to give them up. no pets policy is just an excuse. our pet's whole lives revolve around us. they need you and it's a dick move to just leave your animal behind. it will wonder where you have gone and wonders why you abandoned them. there will always be places that accepts pets. you just gotta look.

this could be a situation where the move wasn't an option and that it could have been a matter of give cat up or go homeless. it clearly was a rushed or arduous thing based on them getting rid of half their stuff.

We had to give up our cat to move into our new house. I'm sorry, Cuddles.

Cats are fuzzy friends until they want something. Then you need a new arm, an eye patch, and a couple organ transplants
bb818 14
That's so terrible! Maybe since your moving out you can somehow get your cat back. Try to focus on positive things even though it's hard :)

He probably should have been obligated to tell you that before you signed a contract... Or maybe it was in the contract. Hope you read it.
engineerosaurus 26
Yup. *If* the landlord knew the property was for sale and intended to order the tenant to vacate when the lease was signed, that becomes a "material fact".
UncleCaitlyn 21
Good luck finding a new place op
AChaoticFray 25
That's awful:( but you probably won't want him as your Landlord anyway
worldclassrager 41
Can you move back?
Angsty_Armadillo 25
This happened to me a month ago! Lived in Washington for two months then the landlord decides to sell the house. Now here I am in BFE Michigan living in a camper trailer on a friend's property.
