: hi
:
: so i called the landlord, i said i was
: almost certainly travelling. he then said he
: wanted notice by the 10th so he could rent
: the place out for november 1st
:
: i said 'not so fast' and mentioned that it
: would be difficult to find a living
: situation for nov/dec, and that if i
: couldn't make suitable arrangements i'd like
: to give my two months
:
: he got kind of short with me after that and
: starting complaining about all sorts of
: stuff and bemoaned how it's completely
: impossible to rent after november and that
: he was going to lose money and that i
: shouldn't go on this trip and that i should
: live with my parents for those two months
: etc etc etc, and then basically told me to
: call him on friday and let him know what the
: plan is and hung up. he seemed pretty
: pissed.
:
: i'm calling him on friday and letting him
: know once and for all i'm giving my two
: months. i'll let you know how it goes.
:
: i get the feeling he won't take it well and
: will probably make these next two months
: really miserable for me. is there anything i
: should look out for?

: Yes, you can. Keep your original plan, and
: give notice on or before October 31, that
: you will be vacating on December 31.
:
: The vacancy rate in Ottawa is such that the
: landlord should be able to find some one
: reasonably quickly.
:
: Not necessarily in your case, but some
: landlords try to get tenants out quicker so
: they can raise the rent with a new tenant
: asap.
:
: Enjoy your trip.

: hi
:
: i live in ottawa. i was on a one year lease
: that ended september 30th. since then (ie
: for the last couple of days) i assume i am
: on a month-to-month lease.
:
: i have an opportunity to go travel in
: january, so what i hoped to do is give my
: two months notice soon and be out of this
: place december 31.
:
: i had mentioned this to the landlord and he
: seemed not pleased about it
:
: friday (oct 2nd) he came and asked if i was
: still planning on travelling, and if i was,
: if i could be out of this place by the end
: of the month because it's 'impossible to
: rent' after november 1st. i already gave him
: a cheque for october's rent, and he was
: saying he'd give it back to me and use my
: last month's.
:
: i sort of told him i had to check up on some
: things and that i'd get in touch with him
: this week.
:
: i am going to have some real trouble finding
: a place to live for november/december. i
: want to stay in this place for the rest of
: the year. before i tell him this i want to
: make sure i'm entitled to do so. i have been
: pretty much a perfect tenant all year. (no
: complaints, etc)
:
: can i stay in my place?
