I've known a couple of acquaintances of late whose landlords have decided to sell their properties and they've been forced to move.
In one case, the renters were able to find accommodation in another rented flat which is, arguably, better than their previous arrangement. In another case, the renters were forced to move many, many miles away into a massively inferior and generally unsatisfactory location. I feel very sorry for them.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

You can add +1 to that, we had to move out of somewhere for that reason at one time. We ended up having to move back in with my mum for a few monthsStormbringer wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 2:25 pmI've known a couple of acquaintances of late whose landlords have decided to sell their properties and they've been forced to move.

It's a bit of all the above. The rents have gone crazy in the past few years and everyone is cashing in on it. I also live in most of the most expensive cities to rent in Europe. I'll find something but the whole process is very draining and soul crushing at times.
