I need to know that:
It’s ok! Don’t worry! You’ll find a place!!
Strategy:
- Look really hard around Dec 15 ~ Jan 7
- Keep looking after Jan 7!
- Find a storage in case it’s needed
If still no place by Jan 25, can start planning this:
- Live with Bunny for a week or two, pay him.
- Move into AirBnb worst case. Can be <$80 a night
- Or rent month to month, something from Craigslist (monthly lease, sublets/temporary)
- Move to Victoria for 2 weeks, put my stuff in storage.
Don’t worry because:
- You’ll have a decent place to live
- Even if it’s a yearly lease, you can probably find someone to take over the lease
- If you don’t find your ideal, settle for great views with a pool and updated interior. No worries. Ideal can take time!
- Yes it’s more expensive in the Spring/Summer, but the housing market is going down, so maybe rent is about to go down! Plus if you get a yearly lease, you’ll have the same opportunity again next year! It’s ok to be patient. As long as you don’t lose sight of your goal.
- Can also move to a different neighbourhood! It’ll be quieter. No worries!
