I've been renting for a long time and I have never considered myself to be homeless. When it rains I generally stay dry. I'm not sure how renting implies or is in any way similar to homelessness. I still have the means to provide shelter for myself. I could even rent a hotel room for quite a while, long enough to find a new place for sure.

I don't see how the risk of being evicted (is this something people worry about?) is any greater than the numerous possible disasters that could strike a place you own in ways renters don't have to worry about.

How many kids do you have? I have 6 and moving in the elementary school district is a huge pain. There aren't alot of rentals and big surprise, nobody wants to rent to someone with 6 kids. Not only is 60 days notice not enough time. The landlords require 60 to 90 days notice and of course every rental wants you to move in immediately. In my experience, it's rare to find someone advertising a rental more then 30 days out from availability.
