Hahahaha no. That's really poopy though, I can't imagine being able to find anything affordable in 30 days.
Yeah it really sucks. We've been having a lot of trouble with things breaking. There was water damage under the sink from a cracked pipe, so they had to rip out the entire kitchen and redo it (we didn't have a dishwasher or kitchen countertops from May through two weeks ago). And then last month another pipe cracked and there was a ton of water damage in another part of the house. It has reoccurring plumbing problems and they're all surfacing now, and they just want to sell the house.
What's most frustrating to us, is that they could have told us at any point during the four months where they've been fixing things that they were thinking of or planning on selling, and that we should keep that in mind and start looking. Rather than slapping us with a 30 days notice after we've been their tenants for 5 years and have had no previous problems with them. They also aren't giving us the option for month to month, so we have to find a house and be out by the end of August.
We went and saw three houses yesterday and put in an application for one of them (the fee was $200 across the four of us so I swear they'd better approve us or I'm going to lose it). So fingers crossed. :'(
A lot of people I know are having to find new places to live right now. Willingly or otherwise.
You should read through your contract and local laws for landlord/tenant relations because I'm pretty sure that's illegal where I'm from.
