Just bought a house! :)

Have any good suggestions. 🙂




the house's stats:
1170sq feet, 5 bedroom, c/a, c/v, finished basement, 2 bathrooms, double garage, double lot, all for under $120k. I love Manitoba. 🙂
 
5 bedrooms in 1170 sq ft? Do you have a living room? My 2 bedroom townhouse is 1200 sq ft. There's an exchange rate joke in there somewhere. 😉

Give a written 30 day notice.
 
how the hell is it cut in to 5 bedrooms at only 1100 sq ft?? tiny bedrooms with only cots??

are you sure these "bedrooms" arent closets?
 
5 bedrooms. 3 on main floor, 2 in basement
and yup, the living room is a bit small, I'm thinking long term that it'd be nice to knock the wall out between the living room and the one bedroom.
 
5 bedrooms in 1170 sq ft?!?!

Ours is 2409 and 3 bedrooms seem small!


Anyways, congrats.

Oh and just say, "We're leaving"
 
I'm betting the basement isn't included in the square footage. So figure a 3 bedroom house at 1170 sq ft.
 
Congrats...

Ask him politely how much notice he needs before you leave. Usually 30 days written is the correct timeframe.

Well, you have to realize that most 1170sf homes in the US are barely 2 bedroom and 1 or maybe 1.5 bath. Do get into a 3 bedroom you're looking at probably 1600sf, minimum. Most houses these days are substantially larger than that.
 
We just bought a 3 bedroom/2 bath that is 1250 square feet, and I would say its considered a "small" house. Great for the two of us though...I sure hope they aren't counting the basement in that square feet though.
 
Read the terms of your lease...should spell out how much notice you are required to give ahead of time prior to ending the agreement...

It's a slightly older house, built in '73. It's 1170sf on the main floor, so the total would be 2340sf if you can't both floors individually.

Isn't that how it normally works? You add both floors??

Man, I was smoking something funny when I typed that.

I meant to write

"It's a slightly older house, built in '73. It's 1170sf on the main floor, so the total would be 2340sf if you count both floors together."

And generally, you only count the square footage of the main floor, at least that's how all the homes around here are listed by the realtors, not sure how other areas of the world do it though.

It's technically a 3br house. Rooms below grade do not count towards the gross living area. Approx 1200sq ft for a 3br is very typical. I've appraised countless number of 70's ranches that are around 1200sq, 3 br, 1 living room, 1 kitchen (usually eat in), 1 full bath, possibly another half bath.

Living area below grade is not considered living area. I'm guessing the OP's home is a ranch style house.
