"About 80% of tenancies in England and Wales are set at six months or 12 months" AFAIK other capitals have similar problems – acquaintances living in Amsterdam report spending half a year or more hopping from a one-month-rental to another, and apparently student rentals have a 12-month-cap. It all sounds insanely stressful! (Finland doesn't have a minimum contract length, IIRC, but landlords need to give the tenants a 6-month notice for eviction, and it's still possible to own a house, especially outside Helsinki.)
In conclusion, vacations are wonderful, conventions are great, meeting friends is fantastic, and I'm a very lucky person. Truer words have never been spoken. <3
