Here’s a summary of the text with the requested annotations:

The author, Miles Mathis, has been searching for a house to rent for over a year and is facing an urgent deadline as his landlord plans to sell the property. He is finding the rental market to be extremely competitive nationwide, with properties receiving numerous inquiries within hours and very limited availability in his preferred categories. Despite submitting many applications through sites like Zillow, he has had no success.

He recounts a past disappointment in Oregon where a previous tenant failed to vacate, and he’s now avoiding the state due to its political climate and lack of available housing. Miles Mathis is appealing to his readers for assistance in finding a long-term rental, emphasizing he’s not seeking charity. He has lived in his current house for ten years without missing payments and is looking for a similar-sized property (around 1400 sqft or larger) that is cat-safe, ideally in a rural area near a town or city with a college. He previously considered Boone, NC without success.

He prefers unfurnished places with basic appliances, hardwood floors, and high ceilings to accommodate his paintings. Geographically, he is focusing his search on “red states,” specifically mentioning western North Carolina, the Chapel Hill area, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and central Pennsylvania. A previous prospect outside State College also fell through. His allergies, which are worse in the West, Texas, and New Mexico, are a factor in his location choices, leading him to prefer less populated Eastern states and avoid areas where he experienced severe reactions. He also dislikes hot climates and would ideally like well water to avoid fluoride. While acknowledging he may need to compromise, he is putting his preferences out for consideration and invites interested parties to contact him.
