A friend of mine is in a state of post-graduation flux. He’s been asked to renew his lease. He has days to decide. He might be relocating, so renewing is committing before he knows what his job prospects are.
1. He may know within a few weeks. How does one sweet-talk a landlord into extending a lease for a few months?
2. If that sweet-talking fails, and he remains in Duluth, are there suggestions of pet-friendly landlords? (Pet friendly means “more than one species in the home, some with fur, one of whom is furless and lives in a glass tank.”)
3. And, if such is not available, what kind of short-term solutions are available? If you need to couch-surf, what kinds of short-term care is available for pets with four legs of various lengths and amounts of hair?
What would you do, in this situation? As an academic, I always had a whole summer to move. He has weeks. I have no idea how to advise.
