cardboard box I may be getting a little ahead of myself with the search for a new home, but I have to look out for myself. What bothers me the most is that I have no idea when they might sell the house. I also have a fear that staying may not even be an option for me with the new owners. My status as a model tenant might mean nothing to them as they raise the rent in an effort to make me leave. The other option of owning the house has become less appealing to me. Sure it would be nice to make the transition from serf to landlord, but I don't think that I want the added responsibility that could turn sour on me. The prospect of having a bad tenant frightens me. Then there is the fact that I am not exactly the most handy of men when it comes to repairs. I think I woud be making phone call after phone call to my father for help when something went wrong with the house.
