Dilemmas in rental world.

We are having a bit of a problem with our housing situation right now.

Our landlord tells us she wants to increase our rent. So I tell her we want to look for another place. Then she tells me she didn't really declare a rent increase.

Huh?

Now she says she wants to increase it PART of the time, and leave it normal the rest.

Huh?

I am really not down with cutting a rent check and trying to remember if this is an A month or a B month. The problem is, our house is fabulous. We will be hard pressed to find something as nice. And seeing how picky I am with regards to cleanliess and style....

What to do.....what to do?

I should just think about buying a place, but I don't know how long we'll be in Denver and I really want to wait and buy a place with a certain someone else. I'm sure I would only be able to afford a shack in this city, anyway.
