Re: Why do I have to move?

Ask the manager if you can sign a new lease by yourself. If the manager isn't responsive, talk to the owner. If you have a steady income stream and can pay the rent and are not a problem, then you should be an acceptable tenant. I agree that it wouldn't make sense to have you leave.
