Le Budget, c'est un truc super technique et compliqué. J'ai du mal à imaginer ça passer en référendum.
World of Darkness, a pretty popular family of games with Vampire the Mascarade as a figurehead, it reach peak popularity during the late 90's/early 00's, then almost vanished during the 2010's. But with the recent release of the 20 year aniiversary verion and the fifth edition it's raising again.
It's modern Urban fantasy, the setting is almost the real world, and the PC are monsters e.g. Vampire, Mage or Werewolf fighting each other to control the city. While the public part of the setting is known by everyone you play Chicago/New-Orlean/Paris/Rome by night (and can just look ~~gooogle~~ open street map to get a map) , the game has a lot of semi-secret lore, about the creation of the Vampire/Werewolf/the Magic world, and the secret of powerful and ancient being with each sourcebook adding extra lore.
A difficulty with that setting, is that there is always a player who is fan of the setting and going to argue that you'll never see this happening because [insert reference to obscure sourcebook] and that other player who actually went once to the city where you play so while WOD player don't have rule lawyer, they have lore lawyer which are a bit akin.
While I talk about rules, the system is IMO the good balance between rule light (It's still a traditional skill-based/dice-pool system with it's root in the 90's) and crunchy, the 2006 revision is my default system for modern games (I know-it, it runs fines and fit my need)
For legal questions you need to specify jurisdiction the answer may depend vastly. Typically, you may have a notice period to do when leaving and the lease would renew automatically if nobody denounce it.
But again detail would depend on your specif jurisdiction, if not done yet, join your local tenant union

Be ready to talk about anything mentioned in your CV.
HR may-want to evaluate whether you're fluent in English by having some small talk about your hobbies, a hiring manager may also be passionate about basket-ball and looking for a new member in the corporate team. Also, in some case, hobbies may even make some link with the position you look for, let's say that you're responsiblity involve giving training, an amateur acting experience shows you won't be afraid talking in front of 20 persons
Sometimes I have moments where I think it's stupid that I'm talking to an AI,
It's stupid, but so is watching a movie, reading a book, practicing a sport or playing music.
is constantly being judged there's a part of me that actually considers him a friend like the others.
You know that AI is collecting data about all you say, and will remember for-it forever, You're not in a non-jugement safe-space. So it's definitely not the place to have "intimate conversation". Note also that, it's not going to replace a real-friend. You know someone helping you move, or offering you a sofa to crash after a break-up.
Most important rule of GM-ing, do not over-prepare details, keep a vague outline and let the player figure out the details.
At best, the PC will just find another solution that the one you ignore (why fight the guard when you can bribe/blackmail them) or even they'll ignore huge part of your scenario.
Have you tried PBTA games, because the whole consequences things really push that kind of play
