Ok I need to bitch.
One of my roommates gave us her one month notice last week to move out. We pay rent on the 18th of each month, so she will be going on December 18th. She bought a house with her boyfriend, so I knew it was coming, but she kept saying it'd be after Christmas. Turns out it's the week before Christmas.
While the roommate called my (useless) landlord to let him know, he told her our rent would be going up by €100, and was giving us our one month notice. Rent is set to be hiked on next month's rent day ... December 18th. A week before Christmas.
Then my other roommate heard about the rent hike when our other roommate surprised us with the text to say she'd given her notice and was leaving Dec. 18th. Once roommate #2 heard about the rent hike, she told me she "hadn't a notion of paying it" since our landlord already does nothing for us and ignores our problems. She, rightfully so, can't stomach the idea of giving the useless extortionist an extra €100/month, and after talking to him and being told he'd not fix our maintenance issues, decided she, too, would move out. So she told me last night she was giving me her month's notice, set to move out ... December 18th. A week before Christmas.
And Cathal and I are getting our own place in February/March, so I don't really have the luxury of moving out now, since he also needs time to find someone for his apartment.
Goddamn.

UPDATE:
I'm getting evicted. The landlord said it would just be easier "to get rid of the three of ye". Yes, what he's doing it illegal. But I'm not going to challenge it, it's not worth it.
So now I'm homeless as of the week before Christmas!
Bastards!
