ah ok, that's what we call a 'studio' in UK. great that you've got a new better place and a moving plan/date - that sounds like a big relief. Jan will probably settle once she's not needed as much, but in terms of her own personal growth and finding better ways to fight (i.e. negotiate with difficult people) that probably requires practice. are you able to talk to her at all and make suggestions about more useful ways to engage with the landlord? changing habits is hard for any of us!

See above re Jan. Sometimes it is called a studio here as well; see that quite often in ads. Actually I think studio sounds better. Bachelor probably stems from a time where women who moved out of home boarded some place or lived in an all female apt. Only men lived on their own. Just a guess.
