Just got bad news...
We were supposed to be buying DH's brother's house. Unfortunately it's not happening now. Why? Because BIL gave them a lease and even though he offered them 2 months rent and money to move they got offended and said although they liked the apartment they aren't moving because it was an inconvenience.
Now what.. I told DH we HAVE to move by the end of January. I'm not staying in the apartment ...I had a fight with the woman upstairs last weekend and the cops were called.
So the house is out. 
ETA: BIL made it seem like it was defenite and not going to be a problem..and it is. He came w/us to do the mortgage etc...and now it was all for nothing!

I'd look into rental complexes instead of renting from a home owner given all of your current problems.

Sorry to hear you are still having issues. Honestly, in the future, do not put all of your hope on something without a contract. Even with a contract on a house, things can happen and fall through. Good luck finding a solution.

Unfortunately since BIL was so confident we were going based on that.

Re: Just got bad news...
I understand you want to get out of your current situation ASAP, and your ideal situation would be to buy a house ........but you're renting now, and you're miserable. - Why don't you look for another rental NOW, and take your time purchasing your house.
Packing and moving is a PITA, but staying where you are is making you miserable -

I am so sorry to hear that.
I agree. Check out other complexes or maybe look into a condo or house within the same price range.
