Hi, I (M22), I'm in a really difficult situation right now, and I'm looking for some advice. I'm currently renting one unit of a triplex with 2 roommates who both let me know they'll be moving out at the end of our lease in July, within the last week. Currently, the rent for the whole unit is $3850 each month, where I'm paying $1183 since I have the smallest room. Where things got difficult was back in December. I lost my marketing job of 3 years, and I wasn't overly worried, as I had a decent stack of savings and EI that would last me until the start of July, which was just enough to pay my rent. But all of that was under the assumption that my roommates and I would sign up for another year at the house, which, at the time, they all agreed to.
I didn't start applying very hard until late March, and despite a ton of applications, I haven't gotten a single reply.
What do I do from here? I don't have any amazing options from here. I could try to find 2 roommates, see if I can move back home with my family, but they don't really have room for me, or maybe move into my girlfriend's tiny basement suite. If you have any other ideas, I would really appreciate the advice.
(Edit)
Thanks for all of the replies, I'll try and clairify a few things. I had been applying for jobs before the end of March. I've had two offers since I lost my job, but I passed on them, thinking my position was more stable and I would be able to look for something more sustainable. The first was a door-to-door salesman gig I couldn't make myself feel good about, and the other was a seasonal job that only would have lasted to August, and with pretty meager pay, it made more sense to stick to the IE that could last me until July instead, especially when I thought my roommates were up for another year.
The difference since the end of March is I've been applying much more intensively, 5-10 applications a day instead of 1-2, but I haven't heard back from anything since I focused in, let alone from something that would actually progress my career.
As for the price of my unit. It's in Vancouver and quite spacious, even with 2 roommates, so paying $1183 for something nearly equivalent to a single-family home in size felt like a pretty good deal, especially considering my other options in the area.
