so long story short our landlords decided to sell the house we are renting. we aren’t quite in a position to buy as of yet so we were forced to find a new place to rent. we live in a small town and rental houses that allow pets are hard to come by. we were renting a 5 bedroom, 2 level very nice home and i loved it. now because of the short notice and lack of home rentals in our area we are forced to rent a rundown twin home that is old and hasn’t been very well taken care of. it’s not a complete dump but it’s definitely a huge downgrade from where we were living. i’m just so upset over it and it’s causing major issues between me and my husband because he thinks i’m being ungrateful and that i’m acting like i’m too good to live in a place like that. i mean i’m going to live there and do what we have to do but am i not allowed to have feelings about the situation??? the landlord didn’t even clean it before we looked at it and were supposed to be moving in this weekend and it’s not even close to what i would consider move in ready. and to top it off now all the sudden the pet deposit has increased and the landlord has become super nitpicky like he’s renting out a penthouse apartment when it’s far from it. and my husband won’t say anything and won’t let me say anything to him about things because he’s afraid he’ll just give the place to someone else if we bitch about anything and we’ll basically be homeless. i just feel so stuck and i hate it. i’m so mad that our current landlords didn’t make us aware that they had intentions of selling the house at some point. and i hate the thought that i have to make my children live in a home that is in the condition this one is in. and i definitely didn’t want to bring a new baby home to a place like this. i just want to cry.
