I want to find a new rental that has more than two power sockets. I have to give one months notice; however, all of the ads I look at are available within that same month so asking them if I can move in one and a half months from now never works.
How do you all deal with this? Give one months notice and hope you find a place?
Well, I own, but what I would do is go ahead and rent the new place and then give notice on the old place. You’ll wind up paying rent on two places for that month, but on the upside your move won’t need to be a chaotic rush.
I’ve done this a couple of times and I’d say if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth it. But renting often leaves you in a tight financial situation so it’s not often realistic to be able to do it.
