Situation update: Ariela’s apartment is being sold and is getting a new owner. Theoretically, Ariela could remain as a tenant, but as is not uncommon in such cases, the new owner wants to renegotiate the rent… and it’s unlikely that the rent will be lower…
Since the new owner and/or real estate agent apparently occasionally visit the apartment without much warning, the cameras remain dismantled.
Simultaneously, the search for a new apartment is ongoing, regardless of whether she has to move (She does want to, though).
The fact is, however, that in ‘Mordor’, as in every country, there are cities where rents are significantly higher than in others, and the closer you want to get to the center, the more expensive it becomes. Whether she will sign a new contract or find another apartment, in a better location, attractive, AND affordable, is still unclear.
the status relocation is in any case the most likely solution to the situation
