I moved into this condo a couple of months ago on a one-year lease - the move was totally painful and unfun. But at least I had another year of not having to think about things. And maybe I would stay here for another year if I wasn't ready to buy yet. I don't know.
So the owner just called me and he wants to sell the place. He says that he BELIEVES it means that he has to honor the duration of the lease, so I wouldn't be kicked out or anything. But he's thinking of selling it to my next-door-neighbor which doesn't feel like much fun. Yuck.
All this while I was finally gearing up to get my piano. There are just
a few extra variables now that make buying the piano feel a bit more
complicated. Like, hypothetical new owner might want me to move
quicker. Or maybe I buy the place (less money to buy piano). Or maybe
the presence of a piano would be an issue with the new hypothetical
owner. Plus, the current owner really wouldn't care about me breaking
the lease, so I could also think about just buying a place elsewhere.
Last thing I want to do though is just move to another rental before my
year is up, though.
