    Actually Queensland law specifies that they only have to give you 30 days notice

    well, we've looked at that place. It's what we're after. Going to put in the application shortly. Our current landlord said he'd see what he could work out with the owners if we do find somewhere.

    Now to find a pen, fill out the application and take it in. Hope for the best!

    Best of luck hun. There's no way you'd need to be out of the place you're in before the contract is up - as Mel said, settlement will be at least 30 days. However rentals are scarce around our area at the moment so I wouldn't miss the opportunity to take a place that you like now. Hopefully the landlords will do the right thing by you so it won't be too much of a finiancial burden.

    That's what we're hoping MR. Real estate said he doesn't want us to paying double rent, and if it came down to that he'll talk to the owners. Then he asked if I was busy tomorrow around 10
    as he's showing a prospective buyer thru. Seeing that's hAppening already, we looked at the other place and putin our application. Apparently Monday at the latest we'll know. Not 10 mins after submitting it, I turned up at fil's and he's already had a call from then ( he was our previous landlord).
