I almost forgot to include an update about our living situation. The landlord is now not expecting us to hold the sublet lease, but is expecting us to facilitate finding a new tenant. That’s just fine with me. There’s an open house on Sunday from 2-4, and someone who already has given an application from the ad on CraigsList.org, so maybe he’ll come through. I spoke to the Fair Housing Board about the legality of the unit, and they confirmed that it’s an illegal rental configuration (as I suspected after Karen and James’s house-buying ordeal in El Cerrito). I need to tell our landlord about that one, because I don’t think that it’s knowingly an illegal unit (if that makes any sense).
