    We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everyone's love and support about our current situation 💕😭
    This past week has been feeling so surreal, our brains are still struggling to process anything that's happened yet?!
    Everything is changing so suddenly which is bizarre after being so settled here for so long, but I guess that's #RentersLife D:
    We're still very busy packing boxes and still anxiously waiting on news about the apartment we've applied for.
    So let's keep our fingers crossed that we can get some good news soon!
    Thank you once again for all the support, you've helped make a scary time in our lives feel a lot less alone and we honestly can't ever thank you enough for that!! 😭
    We promise we'll be back with new videos as soon as we're able to and we'll keep you posted with any updates that happen in the meantime

      Hi! I know it is probably a bit late, but I believe that you might get lucky with the top floor apartment. I don't know how things will be there, but I would like to share my experience. We live in a top floor apartment too, we don't have gas heating I believe it is called central heating what we have, but we can adjust the temperatures on the radiators. We had it turned off completely they only had frost protection until two weeks ago, and most of them has that still. We only turned up the heating in one room, but not because it is cold, but because we have an old parrot who has been moved here two weeks ago to live with us and we don't want it to get sick. Before turning on the heaters we had constant 20-21 degrees celsius, now we have 22-23. You can easily be comfortable inside in T-shirts, it is not cold in here. The warm air rises to our apartment from below, and we have some heating pipes running in the rooms, so even if the radiators are not turned on, they heat up the rooms a little bit. I hope you will have this too, and you don't have to heat up everything and you might save up some money on that too. I wish you the best of luck! ❤🍀 Stay safe, and stay positive! Everything will be alright!🥰

In the meantime, please remember how many of us are thinking of you, wishing you well and rooting for you getting that new property you’ve got your eyes on. Being evicted is scary. Being evicted at Christmas is scarier. I hope you manage to smile this Christmas despite all the upset and stress, and that the new year brings you good news, security, laughter and love in abundance. 💕

      This is a policy issue. You can easily sell rented places in other countries (e.g. Germany). Everybody has the right to sell their property, who knows what is going on in the landlords life, but if policy demands you kick out renters beforehand then the policy is evil, not the landlord.

      A lot of landlords can't afford the costs either anymore. Taxes constantly increasing, If they have a mortgage on the place then they still have to pay that, even if they barely get enough in rent to cover it. Landlords aren't villains, they are people too.

I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this right now, especially so close to Christmas, but I really hope that once the stresses of change and moving are over, that maybe this new home can offer you a fresh start in more ways than one? Maybe once you've moved you can open the Amazon list with new homey bits, I'd love to be able to send you both something to add a bit of happy to the space!

I lost one of the most important people to me & my house/safety all in one night & life was hell for a while. We slept on a mattress in the floor in a spare bedroom at my grandfathers for over a year while we worked to save money.
      I have been an emotional wreck this year because we actually HAVE money & I've been painting our new house & we're about to put up our first Christmas tree together & it's breaking my heart WHILE filling me with joy somehow 😭 I just keep wishing she was here to see where we are now.

      In some country it is illegal ! In France for example, it is. I know because my old landlord wanted to sell and couldn't because of our laws and my lease. The timing was not legal so he was forced to wait three years if I didn't want to leave. It's not normal that it's not the same everywhere ! And that landlords can do that, whenever they want !
      We also have what we could translate as "The winter truce" in France. It goes from november 1st to march 31. And a landlord can't evict a tenant during this period.
      It should be something everywhere. It's cruel to evict someone at this time, but worst, it's cruel to allow it !!

    • @dees3179

      It’s very common to start with a fixed period, say six months, and thereafter get put on a rolling tenancy. So situations like this happen more often than is ideal. It’s going to happen more and more now as mortgages go up because landlords will either have to raise the rent to cover it, or sell up if prices in their area are destabilising.

    Ugh. I’m so sorry to hear this. Moving is stressful at the best of times but being suddenly given 2 months notice AND at Christmas! I swear I lose weight every time we move - I get so stressed.
    Cost of living increases are brutal. In Canada we’re noticing increases and it’s painful.
    I’ll keep my fingers crossed you hear back from that place soon and you can get moving.

  • @soizic567
    @soizic567 Рік тому

    This is CRAZY
    In France, the landlord cannot evict you before the end of your lease (a lease is typically 3 years renewable automatically) AND they HAVE to give you notice 6 months before, and they can only evict if they want to sell OR move in (I’m oversimplifying but you get the gist)
    If they want to sell they HAVE to ask the person renting if they want to buy the place first.

  • @julyol119
    @julyol119 Рік тому

    Two months is crazy little time to get a new place. I know people who look for a year or more in some cities here.
    I mean, we have 3 months notice, but that's still totally not enough. We were lucky that landlords usually just let us know they had plans for the apartment like half a year in advance, and that eas still not that much time tbh.
    And he evicts you on fkn Christmas.
    That's just unnecessarily harsh. I'm sorry you have to go through this!

    My sister has gone through this too, luckily, she has options, and our cost of living isn't as high as yours. But it initially started with moving out of home into a share house of 3 (herself and a dating couple) which slowly ruined her friendship with them because of how inconsiderate they were, finally resulting in them removing her from the lease with them to make her move out when they got pregnant. She then moved into another share house with 1 roommate and her dog. This also slowly soured with the roommate's lack of cleaning and sharing of gardening/chores until they both got evicted after 3 months because the owner was selling. Now, withing the last month, she moved into her boyfriend share house of 4 and was doing fine, however, just like the last one, the owner has decided to sell, and she is looking for her 4th rental within the past year. Bit insane how unlucky she has been with rentals being sold.

    My roommate and I were forced to move quite quickly this time last year as well. On top of all the General Stress of finding a new place, moving in the winter is unfortunately the WORST. But this year we are doing significantly better! So if it helps, just remember the stress of all this will not last forever, and hopefully by this time next year, the two of you (and the guinea pigs) will be safe and happy in your new home.

    Back in 2019 the place we were renting a portion of was about to be foreclosed on. What made matters worse is the landlord not only didn't tell us, but hid the information from us. We found out on accident. Every spring the owner wanted to sell, but never did put the place on the market. Enough was enough! Lucky for us we were able to get a place of our own. The landlord is still there. House hasn't been on the market at all.

Hopefully you two wil figure out a good way to make back that money you need and maybe whatever new place you'll get will be better, who's to say. Hope you guys have a good christmas regardless, you'll get through this!!
