TLDR : I had a scare that being late about realizing the lease on my apartment was running out was going to make me homeless lmao

Long version : So for some context - last year when the lease on the apartment i was renting was about to expire, the agency that helped me get the place sent me an email asking me if I wanted to renew the lease. It was a relatively painless process and went over quite quickly.

This year, I was waiting for the email, and so i thought the lease was expiring next month. A few days ago(on the 27th) while i was heading off to bed, i checked my contract and turned out it expired on the 28th of this month LOL.

Immediately I got hit by a huge wave of panic and I could barely fall asleep on that night (went to bed at like 4, only fell asleep at like 6) then i woke back up at like 10 30, and i headed to the agency's office to make sure i didn't end up homeless lmao.

I talked to some staff, and thankfully they said since i planned to renew the lease, i didn't need to leave and that my (previous agent) would contact me in the coming days, which was a huge sigh of release, since I would still have a place to sleep at night.

Oddly enough, I got assigned a new agent, and she said the contract would be ready like next week. I assume my previous agent left or something, and that's why I didn't get an email informing me that my lease is expiring.

Sry for the wait and lack of posts, and this is what's been taking up my brainpower for the last few days lol. Am getting back into drawing slowly but my body is still a bit, well, tense since im still a bit spooked.

Nothing you need to apologise for, real life should come first always. 🫂 That must have been so scary as well, glad it looks like you got it sorted!

Oooh, does seem like quite a scare!! Well, I'm glad it's all okay, and take your time!

Completely understand the stress, since I'm going through something similar myself... My lease is expiring end of july, and I'm panicking searching for a new place, but the renting real estate in my area is just hellish at the moment...

My condolences. It worked out in my case but i totally understand the sheer stress of the idea of not having a place to stay. I'm sorry its so hard for you, and I hope things work out for you. Best of luck!

Don't apologize, love. In my place, we recently had renovations, and i had to sign paperwork TWICE for 2 years. Luckily, they made it easy for me. I hope you're okay. 🫂

It's absolutely understandable.

Oof, thats some anxiety. Take yo time.

awesome boy

No need to apologise, we understand that you have real life events

I'm so glad you don't have to make a surprise move or be homeless for even a minute. Both are traumatic and definitely more important than feeling like you need to draw for us.

Scary! Glad everything is okay!

Nothing to be sorry about. That sounds super stressful (I know I would have been freaking out) and you need some recovery time to come down from that unwanted adrenalin rush. So glad it worked out OK in the end, tho.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! I can feel the second-hand anxiety. I’m glad you’re housed and it was a false alarm, but I can imagine the panic cocktail.

Pretty much all rental agencies and landlords won't stress over your lease expiring or being renewed late, they WANT your tenancy. It's your home, their property, but you're also a customer. The rental agency in particular get paid to make sure you're happy and want to stay. If you leave, they lose their cut of your rent until they replace you, so they'll often work hard to keep you there.

Normal Dream: Is there a reason why you have to leave? Is it because you were planning to? Most landlords/agencies assume you want to renew by default unless you tell them otherwise.
