After negotiating our lease renewal weekly over the course of a month and providing us with a draft our landlord changed her mind and issued us a 30 day notice to vacate instead. She cited noise complaints from the other tenant. We have tried to be courteous and keep things quiet for them. However, we have a large family. There are 7 of us. Our children are 17, 10, 8, 6, & 3. The house layout is poor. Our kitchen wall is their bedroom wall. Our 2 bathrooms are directly above their bedroom. The complaints are mostly when we are getting ready for work/school. We were upfront about the size of our family before we had even seen the house.
My concern is that we are having difficulty finding new housing. We put a deposit on another apartment and that landlord changed his mind. It had to do with how many of us there are (gas bill was included in rent and concerned about the hot water cost), but he was careful how he communicated that. Some people won't even show us, stating their house is too small for us (including an over 1800 sq ft one). Of course we are limited by many complexes that are only 3 bedrooms because their max occupancy is 6.
What happens if we don't find a place? If we don't vacate by Sept. 1? This is so frustrating and scary. Our one child has a heavily modified special ed program and we don't even know what school district we will be in with the start of school approaching.
