Okay, I didn't see that coming

My lease is up at the start of July. My roommate, Kat, will be teaching at Smith starting in early June. Since she's saving up for a house, she doesn't want to pay rent in an apartment she won't be using and would like me out at the start of June as well and she wants to know now. And I can understand where she's coming from, but I don't have an answer for her yet.

I'm looking at two places. Anne, who was a neighbor, will be moving into a house owned by a friend of the family if the landlady fixes a couple of issues. I'm pretty sure that will happen. Anne, however, is even more introverted than I am. She'd like to do a trial and if she doesn't like having a roommie, I'd move out after a month or two. I could move here in June and the rent would be really cheap.

Karen basically has only one place in mind for us, a double where she is currently renting a studio. That depends on a place opening up and we'd move in for July. Karen and I looked at renovated apartments there but they're pricier than either of us would like. She's going to check this week to see if anyone in an unrenovated apartment has given notice.

There's nothing I can do to speed up any of this. Last night Kat told me she'd be talking to our landlady. That's what she said: talking to our landlady. Nothing more. Today she told our landlady that we're moving out at the end of this month which rather leaves me in the lurch if the place with Anne falls through. I've been feeling rather shocked for the last two-and-a-half hours.

And I don't want to be mean. She'd taken me in when I needed help. She's the one who suggested working with a temp company to find work. She's gotten me through a difficult time and I have no doubt she'd be there again if I needed help. But just deciding the move-out date without me, that's just damned aggressive. ;-(

Edit: Also, a woman has recently rented one of the smaller apartments with the option to take a larger one, such as ours, once it opens up. Two nights back, Kat was talking that she could move in here in June, living with me, until I moved out in July leaving her this place to herself. That seems to have gone up in smoke?
