There is a desperately anxious part of my brain that is just waiting for a notice like this to come rolling in any day now. I feel like I’m on a decent wicket but I absolutely don’t want to be slugged with a rent increase this year, next year I can handle it, just not this year pls…

Didn’t help that the real estate agent (that my landlord no longer uses - we transact directly) called ME by mistake last week asking if I wanted a new valuation of the property. Fuck off, I hope my landlord told them to take a hike too because inevitably it’ll come back saying “look how much more rent you could be getting!” … and my rental provider, I should say, is probably only going to maintain prices up to a point.

Anyway. Sorry you had to get slugged this, it’s an awful stomach-pit feeling and just generally shit given the quality we put up with for the prices. I hope you get some traction with the awnings…
