It's been 7 months since we moved to Bangalore and we were hoping to stay put for a while, but it was not to be!
The landlord with whom we made the deal is not around anymore and we are dealing with his daughter ever since we moved in ... and to say the least, it's been a nightmarish experience.
The things which were promised to us for the rent we agreed to pay is not complied with .. and on top of that, she is very arrogant and just doesn't know how to behave with tenants.
While asking for the things we wanted in the house, she said, if we are not happy we can move out at our own time ... we seized that opportunity to look for another house ... and fortunately, we found a house 2 lanes away.
It's a 20% smaller house than this, but there is car park facility and also the landlord is doing some changes for our sake.
It's also on a ground floor and no steps to climb for me (which is good news!)
So, with that house in mind, we have given a 2 months notice to this landlady and
will be moving out by the end of Jan. '09.
It's going to be messy again with all the moving abouts .. but hopefully we should be there for a while.
We are seriously thinking and praying about a house for ourself, as dealing with landlords are becoming increasingly difficult with the kind of demands they put forth.
It will happen in His time.
We are married for 14 years on 10th Dec., & we have moved to 8 houses & 2 temporal housing (as stop gap).
In Jan. '09, we will be moving to our 9th house ... hopefully the 10th one will be into our own.
With God all things are possible! Amen.
