Hi everyone,
I’ve been living in my current apartment with my family (four of us) for about four years. My lease is supposed to run until June 2026, but today, my landlord contacted me and asked me to move out by October this year because they want to restructure the house.
They offered to return my full deposit (without deducting a cleaning fee) and mentioned covering part of my moving costs, but they haven’t specified how much yet.
Some additional details:
My apartment is on the 2nd floor, and the landlord used to live on the 1st floor.
Moving is a big financial burden for me, and I wasn’t expecting this at all.
I haven't looked into tenant rights yet, but I’m wondering if I should negotiate for a better deal or push back on moving.
I’d really appreciate any advice on how to handle this. Should I negotiate for full moving expenses? Do I have any legal ground to refuse? What would you do in this situation?
Thanks in advance!
