Your landlord sounds like a jerk. I had my roof replaced once, they did not ruin my garden or were filthy. They also cleaned up whatever mess they made. Sounds like to me he found the cheapest people to do the job. Those with the barest ethics.

If he tries anything on your rent remember there are laws that protect you.

You will be fine in the suburbs.

Unfortunately the laws don’t help if we don’t feel safe enforcing them. He won’t do anything on the rent. Overall they just want us to pay rent and not make a fuss. I’ll find a nice place in the not here

1) Love the metaphors... I hope all your readers understood, but you know there are people out there who wouldn't...

2) Being in a new place will bring new opportunities, maybe even another animal shelter. But if not, there will be something else.
