landlord from hell?

Question

When I first got married, I rented a beautiful house from my landlord that was on the waterfront. Beautiful. 6 months later, she threw us out with 2 days notice.

Fortunately, we thought, she had another place we could live in. So we moved in there. Smaller, older, but at least a place to live where we could afford. 5 months later, she threw us out again with 2 days notice.

This time it was a THIRD house that the landlord had available. We stayed a couple of years. And AGAIN she threw us out. But we did have 3 days to get out.

We found a house where we could pay the rent, which would be the down payment, to eventually buy the house. 3 years later we bought the house and escaped from the landlord from hell. She even offered to buy the house from the owner and then rent it to us! Fortunately the owner said no to that idea.

The landlord was my mother.

How was your landlord from hell?

Answer 1

Wow...what did you do to get thrown out? Non payment of rent maybe? Mother or no mother that would be a real no no. Did you have a lease? It is against the law in CA to throw out a tenant without a 30 day notice...don't know where you live. I would think that after the first and second time you would have learned your lesson. I am a landlord of 3 houses and have only evicted three times....one for non payment of rent...one for turning the house into a drug den....one for turning the house into a dog rescue site (inside). What did you do?

Answer 2

Family can't live with them can't shoot them.

Mine was my soon to be uncle in law. When we first moved into the house that we were renting from him. My hubby an I would come home around 1-2 am ( We worked at a bar together for a few months) and find him sleeping in our bed passed out drunk. I would try to get a few hrs of sleep in before I went to catch the bus for my college classes at 7 am. He used to poop in the toilet and not flush it when he was over. He would eat our food with out even asking. Fastfoward a little while to when I was pregnant with my first. He knew that my hubby and I were expecting yet all the money that we gave him for rent went to drinking. We found out that we had to move out about not even a week before the house got foreclose and I was due 3 weeks later.

Answer 3

no longer being a member of the "option" community, i could no longer be a source right here. in spite of the undeniable fact that, i might commence searching for a place to lease, locate it. place your deposit and practice to pass. i does no longer pay yet another cent to the modern landlord. stay there until eventually you're bodily evicted (pass all your **** first) and take him to courtroom afterwards for those violations for breech of contract. there is not any longer asbestos on your lower back backyard -i assume, however the placement sounds undesirable. you comprehend landlords are landlords, thay do own the valuables. you ought to have the skill to interrupt your lease with the transcript you purely gave right here, until eventually you do it with too many hip and arm gestures. you will possibly be able to look as though a stupid guy. no longer tryibg to offend! in basic terms the way issues pass!

Answer 4

You have been through a lot with houses! But it isn't all ways the parents that do these things. Let me tell you a story about a girl that insisted her mother come and live with her and her husband. The mother, had moved from one state to another to get away from a bad situtation. The mother had no where to go after the first couple of days, she was planning on leaving her stuff stored and get a sleeping room and a job. When she got on her feet, then get an apartment of her own. This young married woman insisted that mother come and live with them and wait for disability. After 2 weeks of cleaning, doing laundry, unpacking their belongings that they had never unpaced when they moved into their home. Mother did or said something that daughter didn't like..daughter told mother to get out. "you can go sleep in the street, or under a bridge." Here is mother, packing up what stuff she could carry with her(no car, no way to get anywhere, wayyyyyyyyy out in the middle of nowhere and not able to walk too far on her own). Mother started out the door and was cussed upone side and down another. Daughter came running after mother, crying ...saying "Mom, don't go. I didn't mean it" Mom goes back and with in a week we go through the same thing again. Mom got wise and finally left daughter's house for good. Now, nine years later...Mom has her own house, Daughter lives in a tiny little thing with 7 other people. Daughter calls mom and wants something...Mom says "not no, but HELL no!" I got out of hell and plan on staying away from the ones that put her through it. :-)

Answer 5

I was wondering why you kept renting from the landlord every time you got thrown out. I kept thinking, this person must be really stupid. They was a great ending, even though your mom was the landlord from hell!! LOL!

Answer 6

LOL!! Sorry, I don't mean to make light of your misery...but it'll be a great story to tell your kids when they are on their way out of your house, or are whining about having to do chores. :^)

My landlords haven't really been too terrible, pain in the *** every now & then, sure, but I suppose I've been a pain in their's, too!
