"NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF TENANCY" or "30 Days to Move It or Lose It"...I could be overly dramatic and totally stressed out about having only 25 days left to find an equally suitable residence in an over-inflated market on a very limited budget while helping a nine year old boy avoid undue mental anguish. But, instead, I choose to find a solution. So far I've come up with several: motel; smaller apartment; move to Portland, OR (we live in So. Cal); move in with my parents (it was a short, quick death for that thought); rent a larger space with another family; squat; move to Amarillo, TX; squat on grandparents acreage; live in the car, taking only the clothes on our back (and the Gameboy).

Or - point out to the landlord that the actual reason for the sudden, abrupt termination of tenancy of our primary residence was caused by the unruly nature of our off-spring who in fact had since been removed from the equation, each to their other parent. This is the last-ditch effort I intent to make in an attempt to remain in our overpriced, yet spacious dwelling. At least until the end of August.

Then I'm gonna come up with another list of options.

'Nuff already!
