Our landlord is declaring bankruptcy. Apparently, his lawyer told him that he actually has to be living in our house to have the proceedings go through. He just gave us a month's notice to move. (We're on a month-to-month agreement). He was very apologetic, but said there was nothing he could do. We've lived here for three years.

It is really, really, really hard to find decent rentals in Orange County that will let you have two big dogs and a cat.

I suppose we could try to buy a house, but we would incur penalties for taking the down payment money out of a CD that hasn't yet reached maturity, and I still don't know if we really can afford it. Even if we could buy a house, wouldn't that still leave us with nowhere to live for a while?
