@MamaLake Realusing, shortly after you've done it, (or in the worst cases before, but you can't pull out by then) that the new place doesn't work either and you're going to have to do it again.
@janeishly this! Makes it so hard to get the ground under us when we have to continue living out of boxes while we work and look for another place. This just happened to my mom, finally moved into a rental (5 bedrooms! My mother's dream!) just to find that the landlord is an abusive stalker.

@MamaLake @janeishly Oh wow, that's awful!

Similar-but-different: I moved from the Worst Flat, with abusive noisy neighbours, impossible to heat, freezing cold, to the Second Worst Flat. Tiny. Ended up with noisy neighbours anyway, aggressively verbally abused for complaining about the noise. Discovered mould that destroyed many valued possessions.

@MamaLake (Apologies for so many replies to your posts - I guess it hit a sore spot 😅 )
@Rhube thanks for commenting honestly throughout, it's a lot to think of and live through!
