Bulldozed

We got a visit from our landlord over the weekend to say that he wants to bulldoze our house as soon as possible so he can start building his wife her dream home. He said he was giving us the minimum requirement of 3 months notice. Unfortunately that time frame would end in June when we're overseas for my brother Jason's wedding, so the landlord kindly agreed to give us until the end of July to vacate the premises.

He also expressed his interest in beginning the work of clearing the block of its trees and fencing, knocking down the shed, and digging some large holes for underground rainwater tanks. He offered us a rent reduction if we'd allow him to begin this work in the next few weeks, which we accepted under the condition that the work be carried out only during daylight hours on weekdays.

So we need to secure somewhere else to live between now and June and need to move house by the end of July at the latest. It's a tight timeline so hopefully the right house will come on the market really soon and we'll buy it because we don't want to move to another rental. We're definitely on the hunt...
