So yesterday I went down to our letting agents to confirm we wanted to renew our tenancy agreement in January. When I got there I was told that this wouldn't be possible, so we'll need to be out on January 20th. She was a bit more polite than that, but that's what it boiled down to.
Apparently the landlord wants to "carry out some work" on the property and as I found out this morning, when the work is done they don't want to lease it to anyone with pets. As you can see from my profile, we have 3 cats. So that pretty much means tough shit for us.
We have the basis of plans put in place, depending on what happens next. Sadly, the phone call I received this morning confirmed the worst fear - that we will not be allowed to continue living there after January 20th (unless we go the emergency court order route, but that's for another time).
So we'll need to move. Bottom line.
Sadly, we really like our flat and the area it's in, so we're absolutely gutted about having to go. The only small upside is that we'll finally be getting away from Whingebob downstairs.
