I always get a kick out of that one. People say that kind of crap to me all the time when I complain about the flat I rent. How, exactly, am I supposed to get my stuff together, find a new place, get the references sorted out, raise the deposit and first month's rent in cash (€2,200 in total) to move? 

If it was in any way possible, I would buy a house immediately. There is little that is rational, and certainly nothing even handed, about the letting market.
