Our Apartment/House Drama

So as most of you know we put our house on the market, and it sold rather fast (less than a week). Well then the buyer wanted to put a roof on it before closing so we said sure, and he had planned to do it the 15 and 16 of this month. Well apparently some things with our title were missed the last 2 times the house sold, and the garage doesn't really belong to us, so now we have legal problems that may push closing back to the end of June. This makes him unable to touch the house. We didn't find this out until we were in the middle of moving out for him to start working. So we just kept moving to the apartment we had rented. We got into the apartment thinking the smell that was located in the premise would disappear after the carpets were cleaned the day we were moving in. Unfortunatly the smell got WORSE! This caused the landlord to decide that they were going to replace the carpet, but they were quite slow about it. Wed. they decided to replace the carpet, and for some odd reason ordered carpet, and thought we were just going to stay there like that. Well we aren't sick people so we moved a couple things back to the empty house and slept on the floor for 3 nights. After several requests for the carpet to be installed sooner, and numerous other repairs we decided enough was enough. We asked to terminate the lease agreement, and have our money returned to us. Luckily they agreed, and we found a new apartment, which we are finally almost moved into! I really hope nothing else goes wrong with our house, and that we could possibly close by the end of this month, as we don't really want to pay rent and a house payment again next month!
