    Whoop de doo… I knew I had it going well for a while, but just as I’m looking at having to drop my overall hours because I am simply not coping with doing it all and trying to finish degree, I get an email from the landlord about upping the rent to 550/week (15% increase).

    Pour one out for me, this has just ruined my weekend. Landlords do be collecting more and more for adding zero value…

    She’s said she’s open to negotiation but I really suck at working out a middle ground. Too many emotions. I’ll have to sleep on it. Why did she have to send this on a Friday night.

        I’m really glad the cat is here to help take the edge off the massive sads that are being cracked.

      When you have the spoons, check similar to your housing in the area and whether it matches what they are proposing, if it is generally below their amount, you have some kind of negotiation power.
