[OT] Coordinating a rental lease with buying a home

[pqrst]

It sounds like you have not mentioned the house hunting to your landlord. Depending on your relationship with them , I would talk to them about it. It is a pain in the butt finding, advertising, screening and getting new tenants. Most landlords may or may not cut you a deal. But prepare for them to play hardball especially if you give notice a month or two after signing the lease. My two cents.
