A public post on the current situation.

Two nights ago Kirsten and I were served with a 90 day notice to get out of our apartment. No reason was given. We strongly suspect that it's the clutter, which, ironically, we've been working on reducing. But for whatever reason, we need to be out by September 30th.

To achieve this, we are going to be divesting ourselves of most of our stuff. [livejournal.com profile] murphymom may be able to give us a room for a few months. If not, I have no idea what we're going to do. We simply do not have the money right now to move. Hell, we can barely keep up with the bills!

Anybody got $3,000 they can spare? I'm not kidding. Three grand covers first and last in a new (cheaper) place. It also covers a few expenses along the way.

Right now, we're looking at liquidating some CDs Kirsten bought with her inheritance money. That would get us close.

We may be calling on locals for help... or to help us LARP Rome v. Visigoths. Seriously, we're going to be giving away a lot of our furniture.

This year is fired.

Is there not ...

a lawyer you can call to ask about the eviction? A few such types have been known to hang over at the Savitzky's place. If there is a good enough case you may even be able to get the evictors to pay the court fees. (not holding breath though)

Of course that will still leave you in the latrine with your landlord, but will make moving a bit easier, maybe.
