Any of you ever sold your house and became a renter?

Well, for the first time in 30 plus years or so I will be a renter. I signed an agreement today to sell my house in Wilmington in 90 days. When I move to wherever I go next I will be a renter. It's an odd feeling. Makes me wonder if that place will feel like home.

Fbcooch will remind anyone that will read his posts.

I could no longer stand being surrounded on 3 sides by airbnb's. Everyday was a party--to someone. I liked the house but sold it and moved to Isle of Palms. At the time, renting was right for me because it also seemed like a good time to decide a lot of major changes in life, and if I wanted to continue to live here.

In many ways, it was the best thing I ever did. I loved living out there, and would have stayed, had covid not caused the price of everything to double. It also may have been the worst thing I ever did, because I found out how awesome it was to live on IOP, and now that prices have gone up even more, I know I'll never be able to live there again.

Not that I think you'll read this and turn it into something i never said.

My landlord and I talked on the phone before Christmas about renewing the lease in late January, and he never called me back.

He called me in February and said he had some people looking to rent the place when my lease expired in April. I took that as he didn't want me there anymore, so I made other arrangements. I asked him why he never called about me renewing, and he said it was a miscommunication. I told him that was not true, and eventually in the conversation it came out that he was raising the rent from $3200/month to $4700 per month, and he didn't think I'd want to spend that much.

And he was right, so I left.

Just so we are clear, I'm the one that if times do get tight

I think you mean "beg for money from your MIL"?

Didn't you beg your landlord not to kick you out?

Would y'all pls just get a room and bang it out once and for all?***

This thread went all predictable didn't it?

No, I didn't.

In summary, you couldn't afford the rent and so he kicked you out***

If that makes you happy, sure.
