\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t remember if I mentioned it here\u2026.I\u2019m moving\u2026by the first of June<\/p>\n

The property management representative (not the new building manager) presented me with a letter advising me I had 2 weeks to get rid of Pixie, the Pickle and my dishwasher or she would serve me with a notice to evict.<\/p>\n

While I have documentation to support everything….however I decided to stop fighting and gave her my notice instead\u2026I mean really? Why should you have to fight to be comfortable in your own home?<\/p>\n

Then the bother tells me that he\u2019s thought I should get out of this place for years\u2026.go figure?\u00a0 Anyway she accepted my 2 mth notice and I\u2019m out of here for the 1st of June.<\/p>\n

I’ve been viewing apartments all over the city and I’ve come to the sad conclusion that there are a lot of very greedy people in Victoria.\u00a0 $1000.00 for an apartment the size of a postage stamp…I’ve seen some tiny, dirty, expensive rentals..still I can’t get the smell of the last one outta my nose…I think I need bleach!<\/p>\n

I’d hoped to shorten my commute and live closer to UVic…so far the only places I’ve found that are even remotely acceptable are in the Colwood\/Langford area and would add a 1\/2 hr to my commute due to the traffic both ways instead of reducing it\u2026.and then I found the place of my dreams…a private little town house, hardwood floors, enough space to live in…in my price range…they’ll take cats…but no dogs.period\u2026.people are strange about dogs out here\u2026everyone professes to love them\u2026but don\u2019t want them in their rentals..<\/p>\n

I sometimes get disillusioned because the descriptions some people write in their advertisements don’t meet the actual place description…if I can’t fit a 2 seater couch and coffee table and tv in a living room without cutting the table in half…maybe your rental ain’t “Large” and if I can almost hit my head on the ceiling…maybe my 6ft4 nephew won’t be able to visit…and if yer rental stinks…it’s stinks.\u00a0 I’ve even seen some 2 bedrooms with no windows in either bedroom…also against the law I think \u2013 in one so called \u201cluxurious\u201d rental the kitchen was so small that if the oven door was open there was no room for me in the kitchen!<\/p>\n

Apparently they can do whatever the hell they want.<\/p>\n

I know that there\u2019s the right place out there for me in my price range\u2026and I\u2019ll find it\u2026it just reminds me of that line about \u201cya gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince\u201d\u2026I wonder if potential landlords would take offense if I showed up wearing a gas mask? LoL<\/p>\n

I’ve got some time…so I’m gonna keep at it…<\/p>\n

I’ve been talking about moving from this building for a long time – and now that it’s here it’s kind of bittersweet…
\ncourse the idea of packing 14 yrs of crap and shifting it ain’t…however the bother advises that he’s all over that
\nso I’m good<\/p>\n

I used to talk about moving into a mobile in a real West Coast setting – but that was when I worked at the other University…now I’m at the complete opposite end of the city I’ll likely find the 55+ mobile of my dreams for cheap!<\/p>\n

Wanna bet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
