Feeling homesick.

[Stude Shoo-wop!]

Daisy-Mae here is one of the many things that I miss about being back home in Florida. Being at college a state away is a challenge, but it'll be worth it to drive her again in a few weeks.

Hopefully you put her up in a dry environment, with a trickle charger on the battery. That way, she'll be ready to go with the turn of a key when you return. Hang in there and focus on your college studies. It'll be over before you know it!

Straight, Clean, and a beautiful shade of Green. She is stunning!

Jake, do well in college and who knows, maybe you will be able to make a great living, and Daisy Mae can have some roommates.

Jake you're doing well so hang in there. My first quarter away at college in Minneapolis I "thought" I'd be staying in a rooming house with meals. When asked about my future plans by the lady renting the rooms, I said, "I'm looking for a cheaper place to stay."
Yeah I know, STOOPID, but I was only 19 and needed to make many more mistakes. After hearing that she says, "Get out of here. Get your stuff and get the hell out of here."
I'd already paid her $275.00 for the month and now I had to live out of the back of my '73 Ford F-100 in the month of March in Minneapolis, find another place to rent, and also attend classes. I had all of $3.00 left in my wallet and had to make it last a week. My uncle taught me at an early age to always fill your tank when you arrive someplace so gas was covered, but that was it. I survived, but learned a tough lesson.

The local jurisdiction's Landlord & Tenancy Act should have protected you from being evicted until the last day of the month as you had already paid your rent in advance for that particular month.

Craig,
It was 1974 and I had just moved to Minneapolis. I was barely able to find my way around the U of M campus. I was completely on my own and it was years before I figured out that there were agencies / programs that could help out. By 1978 I made a down payment on an apartment only to have the landlord cash my check and rent out the apartment to someone else. Then I did go to small claims court and won, but all I got back was my $$, but another lesson learned from the book of life.

What I learned from similar stories such as this, was the faster one owns their own place, they won't have to worry about these types of surprises, and having to make a sudden, unplanned move.

When I lived at home, we had some (very good) neighbors who were longtime residents who rented a house down the street. They were there for a good 16 years, when the owner of the property suddenly passed away. It turned out the son wanted nothing at all to do with being a landlord, and served them an eviction notice so he could live in the home for the minimum six month term and make it his principal residence so as not to pay capital gains tax when he cashed out. This was despite their willingness to sign a lease, guaranteeing their desire to continue to be exemplary renters and remain there.
