Decisions, Decisions

[carynb]

I'm sitting here with Form N9 - Tenant's Notice to Terminate Tenancy - in front of me, all filled out and ready to go. Do I sign it, and go through the whole moving process? If I move to the area I'd like to, I'll be farther away from work, but in a much better neighbourhood.

My current landlord is being pretty insistent that I sign a new one-year lease when my rent increase comes up in May, and I really don't want to. I know I don't have to sign, but they're also saying that they've applied for a larger increase than the standard 2%, and I think they'll get it. However, the fact that they've done considerable upgrades to the public areas doesn't change the fact that my the people in my building do things like let their dogs use the stairwell as a bathroom on cold days.

The very thought of having to look for a new place, though? It's giving me knots in my stomach. I Hate change.

Decisions, decisions. I'm probably going to pass in the notice with my rent cheque tomorrow. Here's hoping I don't chicken out a the last minute. *g*

Moving is icky, but it appears that I'm committed to doing it now. *g* My notice went in with my rent cheque this morning.

I just keep telling myself I'll be happier in a neighbourhood I can feel at home in.

Hey, way to go! This will definitely increase your happiness (and mine!) in the long term, despite the short term searching and moving ickiness. So when do we start looking at apartments? *g*

I'm guessing either this weekend or next week/weekend. Not having a place to live in 2 months is a little stressful - everything else can work itself out, y'know?

And, I'd appreciate any help you wish to offer on the "searching for a new place" front. *g*
