Ms. P. asked:


I rented a property on the bottom floor of a home, in which the landlord lives as well, on the top floor. I am on a month to month rental which includes $1500 for the unit and
$250 for the garage and the parking space behind the garage. Now, the landlord has decided that she does not like the storage I keep inside the garage, instead of a car. She has asked me find a storage unit somewhere else. I cannot afford a storage unit and the cost of the garage. The landlord has also advised me that she wishes to have a termite fumigation, which will displace me for at least four days. In April, the landlords sewer overflowed into my bathroom. I had to keep the refuse at bay with my good towels until the plumber arrived. There was a dehumidifier in my home for four days to save the hardwood. Now the plumber has displaced me for another seven days due to a new pipe being placed under the ground. I had to move 1/2 of the storage and do not have a place to park. What should I do?

I have sweaters and other seasonal clothing items as well as towels and such that I brought home from school for the summer. My room is about the size of an average single dorm room (read: very small) and I have no idea how to store everything in a tasteful manner.
