Hi Liberty,
- A friend of mine may have a room, what is your budget? (you can email me
offlist)
- You cannot actually be compelled to move in a week. There are laws about
this sort of thing, and they are less in your favor if the homeowner /
landlord lives with you, but, they still can't do that. Neither can the
court compel the your landlord/homeowner to vacate, even if you got a 3 day
notice you can easily contest it which will push it back many weeks if not
months. Add to this the fact it will take at least 2 months to close on the
house, even if they sold it tomorrow. I think any bank or lawyer familiar
with real estate law knows this stuff, so the mom shouldn't be
pressured/bullied, nor should you by either of them, imo. If you have
questions you might contact the Eviction Defense Collaborative (free
consultations.)
Best,
David

That's rather unfortunate. :(
I have found a lovely spot in Berkeley for myself and Atom & Iris. :) So
finding a great spot even with bad credit is very doable.
Like with all things, being prepared is key. When I'm looking for a rental
space, I bring the following to the showing:
- a Letter of Introduction (Like a cover letter. This should give a
general introduction, what you are looking for in a rental, what kind of
ideal tenant you are, and how long you are looking to rent)
- my Rental History
- a list of Professional References and Personal References (It would
be great to get a reference from your last landlord)
- and my credit score (I'd include my credit report but it's just a
tad too embarrassing)
If you really like a space be prepared to write a check on the spot. I
have had prime locations rented out from underneath me by a more prepared
applicant who signed a whole years worth of rent (who can compete with
that?!?)
I have also paid a "finders fee" to a landlord or renting agent. This is
in essence a bribe but this tactic has gotten me a great apartment in SF
when the inventory was less than 1%.
Good Luck, Liberty!

THE SITUATION:
The amazing Piedmont home I am in is being sold in a messy divorce. The
owner is wonderful,however her divorce is now calling for her to sell her
million dollar home so her husband can be paid his half of the equity. When
I first moved in it seemed the divorce was dragging but I never thought he
would force her and his 9 year old daughter out of this wonderful Piedmont
neighborhood! I have never met him (they were divorcing before I arrived)
but I will say I am not fond of this. So because of this and this reason
ONLY I am now thrust on SF Bay Area housing market.
I just found this out YESTERDAY
and I have to MOVE BY APRIL 1 (WTW!) A week!
ANYWAY
Wanted to tap the Sudo Network to see if anyone knew of a room/space/etc
or knew someone who knew someone who know who I need to know!
Reply and I can send you info about me
A little insight
I AM the ideal Human Flatmate! I love making smoothies, I heart cupcakes,
love cooking vegan/vegetarian meals, love animals, non smoker, non drinker,
responsible, and I have tons of cool FREE perks to events! (The events are
only exciting if you are into tech/nerd/game stuff otherwise just control x
that last part)
If you can reach out to your networks! I would appreciate any direction
or hacking on this!
Thanks
