@ThatsrightNot pushy. Rude. He was verbally told I wasn’t interested in sharing the home w/a stranger and he not only called again asking me, but texted me 2xs as well. No means no.
- How long does the landlord come back for each time ? A few days maybe, a few weeks? - Do i get paid for maintaining his house like a house keeper? - Is my room off limits to him? How much is it ?
There's just too many variables.
I could potentially do it for the right price and if the landlord was only there for a short time, otherwise you're paying to live in someones house under private duress.
Here, owners get 'house sitters' , who get to live there for free untill the owner comes back and then they need to find somewhere else to live for that period.
Too many red flags and the whole situation sounds shady and unusual. I’ve never heard of sharing a house with a landlord and then making you pay utilities but giving you no access to any bedrooms but renting the place from him? There’s a reason why a realtor isn’t taking no for answer, because other renters probably said no to it too because something seems up about the whole situation
No, I wouldn't. I would start overthinking and feeling like an unwelcome guest (even if I pay), so I'd probably lock myself in my room whilst the landlord is there.
That would be a difficult sell for me, too. One possible consideration might be if it were a house on Russian Hill or one of the “Painted Ladies”, and there was a substantial break on the rent for that inconvenience.
@SethGreene531so reported her to human rights too. For that and something else.
It’s a on my doorknob, I put my key in it. It’s not a realtor’s one, I got it on Amazon. She tried to pry it open with her friend of the family who did work for her at her places. They obviously use something sharp, probably a pocket knife and she was banging on it screaming.
Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. Especially when that’s the only place I lived my entire adult life. But you don’t get to live somewhere for 26 years for being a bad tenant.
I know, it’s unreal. Some say 4xs rent with rent being $3500 plus.
She sounds like she's got a criminal past, or just plain deranged. Holy heck. I'd not want to arrive home to catch that. Like you, I'd probably do some time.
Definitely a rights abuse case if there ever was one. I know they've really strengthened tenant protection laws in some states. Hopefully that will be to your advantage.
As a stable, trustworthy tenant of 26 years, your record speaks for itself. Strong evidence when the matter is addressed by Human Rights, a tenancy council, or goes to court.
4xs $3500-4000 😳?? 💰💰. That's nuts. Heaven forbid if someone's a pensioner.
You're most welcome. If anyone deserves a break and some peace & happiness, it's you. 😔
@SethGreene531I can be very nice, until people pull things like that. I’m sure you’re about the same that way.
From what I heard from a paralegal friend who works for her husband, a civil rights lawyer, my county is easier on the landlords. She also broke the law another way that I don’t wanna say publicly, but it was against me.
That's a glorified roommate. As such the price of the rent should reflect that. You're either renting the room or renting the home. Things should be adjusted accordingly.
I wouldn't rent a house.. but our ex landlady did to some crooks from church and they burned the house down after completely trashing the property to hell and not paying rent for a year and they are still there in an RV.. the nerve
They won’t do it lol.. I’m not familiar how all heating types work, but I shouldn’t have to pay for their rooms to be heated or air-conditioned and who knows if it’s a set up where I have to heat/cool those rooms too when they aren’t even there.
