Chrizine, I don't think they will budge. They have been pretty, well, let's say "not-nice" in general. Some time ago we had water damage in our bathroom, where water came down from the apartment above. We reported it to them and then we waited and waited and nothing happens. Weeks later they came by, looked at it and told me that I should take care of it myself, as it was "my problem, not theirs". The heating in my working room has not been working for 3 years now - They don't care.
I wanted to move out a long time ago already, but knew starkad would not cooperate, because it is so difficult to find a new apartment with all our pets. So I am somehow kind of "glad" that we have to move out, just wish we didn't have this immense additional costs and therefore the pressure to find something new ASAP. If I found something immediately, I would not pay them the additional rent they asked for (as I know you don't have to "agree" and then they have to sue you for the money and I know they would not get through with it as it is not legal) till we moved out, but not knowing whether I might still be dooomed to live here for 1 or 2 more years till we find something, I don't want to have any more trouble than we already have.
(Edit. Why did I write "doomed" with 3 Os? I am doomed. Dooooooomed.)
Haha, look where I just applied for an appartment:

Not that I have any hopes of getting one, but it would be kind of, well, interesting and my mother lives nearby. Who doesn't want to live in a barrack ?
