Sorry to hear, Cheesey. I don't know what the laws are like in Wisconsin, but there are laws that protect tenants with or without a lease.

My wife and I fell on the good side of not having a lease at the last place we rented. Our lease had run out, and we told them on multiple occasions to bring the new lease for us to sign, but they never did. When we told our landlords we were moving out, they tried to tell us we had to sign a lease for the previous 4 months before we could move out. If I remember correctly, my wife laughed at them on the phone and then hung up. I think I posted something a while back about the whole situation, but I know how it feels to not be able to sleep at night because of a landlord and the stress they can cause. Our last landlords basically gave me a six month long panic attack.

Keep your head up, pal. "Lots of reasons" is not a reason, and you don't have to accept that as reason enough to be evicted. Some people just like to have that power over other people. I wish I could be of more help, but unless you're ready to move to Iowa, all I can do is wish you the best in your search for a new place and keep you and your wife in our prayers. Keep us posted.

Dude! I can find you a nice place in Howard for less than 800 that accepts doggies. Right accross the street, heat, A/C, dishwasher, two bedrooms, electricity, all included for 555 a month! The only draw back is you're 100 yards away from me 😛

Keep the faith Cheesey. Something will turn up. I don't know.........100 yards from Zero2Cool is kind of scary. LOL

I'd tell you to move out here, but the real estate and rental markets in and around Missoula is absolutely unreal. Prices of homes and rents never did drop much like the rest of the country, and now its going back up again. There is a house about 5 doors down from us that is going to be empty this weekend and it's rented already for $1800 a month. The people who own the house are friends of ours and they said they have no problem renting it out. They get good renters too.

Besides, with me, Chuck, and Mike on the block.....each of us retired, and known for doing goofy things, I'm sure the rest of the block would declare war against us. What's better than 3 old farts having a beer and planning our next caper to keep the neighborhood amused?

Still no great news. But i have been moving stuff to a storage unit, so if we find a place, the move will be easier.
The B***H works right downstairs from us every day, and it's hard just to be there. She's a loud mouth, and if you don't have the TV on or a fan, you can here her cackling.
I want to get away from there as soon as we can. I can't stomach her anymore.

---

Still no good news. Still looking like crazy, but nothing so far.

Dunno when Cheesey will get a chance to get on the web-r-nets, but just thought I'd update you guys with the latest.. While at the game Mrs. Cheesey text'd him and told him not to worry that they have a place. She locked it down while we were at the game.

I'm sure Alan will log on and give most the details, but I did want to let you guys know.

Thanks for letting them know Formo! This was my first chance to get on here. I saw the place tonight. It's pretty darn nice! The bedrooms are small, but there are 3 of them! And a BIG living room, whirlpool bathtub, lots of cupboard space in the kitchen. It's a house that was split into 2 units. The upstairs is a small apartment, one guy living there. We have the whole 1st floor. My biggest concern is that it's an additional 18 miles each way for my wife to drive to work. In the summer, not bad....but winter scares me. Although it's almost all highway.
Man.......now all i have to do is get the BIG stuff moved. I have most (not all) of the smaller stuff boxed up and put in a storage unit.
And THANKS Formo, for giving me a few hours off of the worry by taking me to the game!
I feel like i let you down. I wasn't my "normal" Cheesey self. You got ripped!!!LOL!

One word: "Screamer." 🙂

---

Right. That's going to be 10 months of the year.

---

I KNOW! LOL!
But my wife tells me not to worry, she can handle it.
The nice thing too is, it's only $125 a month more then we are paying at the small place we are in now. So we should be ok.
Plus, it has a WASHER AND DRYER in it. Something i haven't had for the last 3 years. (My clothes are DIRTY!!!) Had to say that before someone else did!
Seriously, i had to go to the laundrymat. It's a small thing, but in winter can be a hassle. But it's the small things like that that cut down on stress.
I'm hoping to have the big stuff moved in Tuesday. A friend said he will help me. If he follows through, i'll be ok. I only have about 8 items that are too big for me to move alone.
To all that put me in their prayers/thoughts, THANK YOU!!!
GREATLY appreciated!!!
