Why didn’t you rent someplace else or go with a cheaper house?
I mean all’s fair for calling out the shitty behavior of the landlord but then your actions after that seem rather self-inflicted, you could have just downsized if you couldn’t afford the place you are in and not become house poor.
I want to drive a fucking porsche, but I can’t afford it without going broke so I drive my 12 year old Hyundai.
Edit: I see personal responsibility is not a big thing for lemmings, sure Op got screwed by their landlord by putting him on the street with 30 days notice, but then the landlord didn’t hold a gun to their head to buy a home they can’t afford and make him and wife house poor, that was all on them…
Finding fault with the good renter who did everything by the book is deplorable.
As you know we are in housing crisis and finding affordable house is extremely difficult. Maybe they couldnt find an available house in their area. You dont know their situation.
Housing isn’t a luxury, you can’t just decide “prices are too high right now, I’m not going to buy / rent any of these places.” What are they going to do, live out of their car until prices come down?

The fault is not with the renter, but with the buyer…

I’d be shocked if there weren’t cheaper options around…
