my landlord

ok, here comes a total rant. its my landlord. he is constantly here at my house. i mean every damn day! i don't mind if he is here while i am at work, but when i come home he needs to be packing his shit up and leaving. and on my days off, i'd appreciate having some time to myself after being around people all day everyday at work. he comes out here and just messes around. seriously, he comes out here to work on lawn mowers, cut trees down to sell for firewood, to mow the lawn, and now he's working on a damn go kart. i mean come on! don't you have a garage at your own house? do you really have to be out here hanging around to work on a damn lawn mower? and why in the hell do you have to mow the lawn on saturday all day long? the whole reason i moved to this house is because it is totally private, i have no neighbors, my front yard is woods so i can't even see the road, but he is constantly here so i have no privacy! he's an all right guy, and i really love this house and property so i wouldnt want to make him mad or offend him so he kicks me out, but shit, i am going insane never having time to myself to just go out and lay in the yard and be alone!!

 

maybe he thinks ur pretty.

 

mow your own yard. that solves saturdays..lol

 

put your cloths on

 

oh so thats why he's always here! i'll be sure keep dressed from now on!

and the reason i dont mow the yard myself is because the guy is so freaking anal about it that he mows it before it even needs mowed in my opinion, so i never get the freaking chance to! i actually enjoy mowing too! not to mention that my yard takes a very long time to mow because its huge, so if i do mow it i usually have to break it up into a couple of days, and he doesnt like the grass to be different lengths. you can't even see the damn yard from the road!

 

check out the landlord tenet rights for your state.

 

maybe you could try talking to the guy...if you think you can keep your cool and not make the situation worse, that is.

 

Actually I think it's a law that your landlord has to give you 24 hour notice before coming over. At least it was where I've lived.

Oh landlords. They're the best.

 

yeah i'm pretty sure here the landlord is supposed to give you 24 hours notice before showing up too. the thing is that the place i live at is a really great place, and he would have no problem renting it out to someone else and i think he takes advantage of that, like if we said something to him he would probably make us move. also, its been in his family for a long time, so its paid off, he doesnt really need to rent it out to anyone. and he knows this so he probably figures, what the hell, if they dont like me being here they can move. i wish i could say something to him about it, but another thing i've encountered with him is that he doesnt really respect a woman's opinion or requests. i've asked him before if i could have a day to myself and he said ok but showed up anyways. the only way to get him to stay away for a while is to have my boyfriend ask him to, and he's the type that hates confontation so he won't do it.

 

Next time you see him, shank 'em.

 

Maybe he has a shitty home life.

 

wow.. is that even legal for him to just be there the hole timw without asking???

i know its his house, but not while your there, its kinda yours since your payin for it...

 

Depending on your lease...I wouldn't think it would be legal for him to ask you to move either. If you haven't done anything wrong, because it's perfectly within your rights to tell him to give you 24 hrs. notice. Sounds like a real dick.

 

its totally not legal for him to be here all the time without notice. and i just noticed that he's been in and out of our basement a lot lately, i had a light on down there and he shut it off, so i turned it back on and the next day it was off again, so i know he's been down there. its like, i left the light on because i wanted it on, so leave it the fuck alone! what the hell is it to him if i leave a damn light on? i pay for the electricity! we don't have a lease at all, never signed anything, just gave him a deposit and moved in, so there is nothing in writing about anything. so i guess he probably could just kick us out if he wanted to. its a never ending problem, i love this house, my boyfriend loves this house, and i guess i just have to deal with this guys idiocy. and about him having a shitty home life, how is that my problem? why should i have to put up with him just because he doesnt want to be home with his wife? thats just rude on his part. the guy has no boundaries, he has no respect for our privacy.
if i could find a place as good as this one minus him to move to i would gladly do so, but not only does my boyfriend not want to move right now, we are not in a decent financial situation right now for moving.
sorry people, i get very pissed off whenever i think about this.

 

I feel your anger. landlords can be the worst. If it's a LL who doesn't own many other properties and has a personal investment in the place, they can be pretty bad. Brings back memories of a (very tame by comparison) landlord I had.

 

Lmao. Wow.. I'd be pretty annoyed myself if i had my LL pokin around doin nothin important all the time.

 

Pffft. my landlord is unavailable all the time. what a worthless fuck. thats why this place is a shithole.

 

I think your land lord is a clone of my old landlord!

We had a barn on the property and half of it he used and half was ours to use. He was always there getting crap outta the barn. He would show up several times a day. He would come to mow the lawn at the worst times and get mad if the kids toys were not picked up. He never warned us when he was going to mow though. We lived out in the country and went there to have privacy but we never felt like we had any.

I don't know if you have a lease or not but if you do go back and read it. Most leases that I have seen have a clause in it stating that you have the right to live in the home peacfully with out interference from the land lord as long as you follow whatever the terms of the lease are on your end. If you did not sign anything you are probably out of luck.

Anyway I feel your pain!

 

yes! IDontFitIn, this is exactly what i am talking about. we have a barn too, but he doesnt let us use it, he just keeps a bunch of crap in there, and we have a 2 car garage, but he uses half of it for his lawn mowers and crap. he is ALWAYS picking up after us, for instance, we had 2 people over the other night, so we got a couple of chairs out and had them in the front yard, 2 days later he had them all stacked back up on our porch. i know that doesnt sound like a big deal, but its like, i'm an adult, i don't need you to clean up after me! today i got home from work after an 8 hour day, and this guy is on our freaking roof scraping the paint off of it. i'm like, dude, i know you have the money, just hire a professional that will come in and have the job done in a couple of days! not too mention that i didnt know he was going to be climbing around the windows upstairs and i didnt want him snooping in them. it drives me insane!

 

Ok if you tell me that your landlord's name is Norm I will pee a little. That man sounds EXACTLY like my old land lord. He was a sweet man really but he was just always there and doing stuff with out warning. He was so anal about having anything left out in the yard. I can imagine how annoyed you are.

Maybe you could post a sign on the door that says "QUIET HOURS 5pm-10pm" or something. Maybe if would give him a hint with out you having to actually confront him.
