I am gonna rent a room off-campus with some other people. When I payed my deposit, the landlord gave me the receipt which was written in German (they've lived in German for couple or years...). This really didn't make sense to me. Then their explaination for me was that could make sure the receipt was given by her daughter ( her daughter lives in this house too, and we all pay our rents to her)...This really didn't make sense to me!!! I can't read German, even though the things her daughter will write on that (such as "deposit" or "water bill" things like that) is English, but I rent a room in the US, why should I get a receipt in German???!!!
Is this legal??? Should I accept this kind of receipt or should I argue with them? I wanna keep our relationship though, but I feel bad when I am treated like that...
Any helps??? Thanks!
