In May Be Offline For Awhile I explained a very stressful situation that I am experiencing with my living situation. I finally have an “official” word from the landlords.

Their explanation?

I didn’t mention it here (I don’t think that I did, anyway), but we began looking for another place to live long before this incident. The reason for that is that this house has become somewhat unstable. At first, cracks began to appear in the walls (some of them appeared with enough noise to cause someone to jump). Eventually an entire chunk fell off of the ceiling.

It didn’t produce a hole directly into the attic, but the boards were plainly visible and a large amount of black soot-like material rained down.

This was all reported to our landlords and they sent someone out to fix it. Their version of fixing the hole in the ceiling was to place a large white board over the opening, which was nailed directly to the ceiling. A band aid? If you wish to call it that..

So obviously this all prompted us to begin the process of looking for another place to live. It also ties into the explanation that was given to us by our landlords… the rotten bastards that they are.

Apparently, they are claiming that they can’t properly fix the house until it is empty. They need to fix the ceilings, the walls, and the black soot-like material has been impossible to get out of the carpet. So they want to address that, too.

Okay, fine. That’s all fine and dandy. So what the frick is up with slapping us with a 3 day eviction notice without any warning what so ever??? They couldn’t be bothered to give someone a warning, or to talk to them like people?

It’s bullshit, is what it is, and obviously they’re just coming up with excuses at this point. Mind you, they were never informed that we were already looking around for a place to move to.

So there you have it. Their explanation. They’re selfish, self-centered bastards who don’t give a rat’s ass about their current residents. “Let’s dump ‘em on the streets, woo, that’ll be fun!”

I’ll stop here before I start expressing how I really feel.
