      We’ve just been told we have three months to find somewhere else to live. The landlord is selling the flat.

      Stupid of me to ever think of a rental place as my home, really.

        @astronomerritt That is awful. I really hope you're able to find something suitable.

            Well, the current rental market in NI is, predictably, bollocks for renters. This is going to be a fucking ordeal. I'm going to go and start boxing up my books for something to do that isn't sitting here and crying.

              @macpsych Thank you so much. At this rate I'd settle for something comparable that isn't literally twice the rent!

                @astronomerritt I'm currently going through job convulsions where my role is allegedly being hived off to a different department (without telling the current one until I made them aware!) and 9.5 people having to compete for just 3 posts. Unions have got involved and it's all very stressful. So I empathise with your turmoil! 😩

                        @astronomerritt I'm sure it was a shock and incredibly unsettling for you both. I hope your search is short and incredibly fruitful.

                              Just to make it clear: we're not in danger of becoming unhoused. My parents can take us in if needs be. It is extremely non-ideal, because my parents live in a very small house, but we will always have a roof over our heads and I know that is a significant privilege.

                              I'm just upset because we've lived here for seven years; I did, in fact, think of it as my home; and now when I look around, all I can see is something that was never mine and has now been snatched away from me.

                              Landlords are parasites.
