Should I be the one to pay?

A guy who is renting my place while I am overseas just rang me and said he locked himself out and I must pay for the locksmith because I didn't leave spare keys. Is that true? My parents are old and asleep and I am not going to bother them as they never wanted me to rent it out..😖 is that my responsibility? I am overseas and he wants me to pay by credit card

Further thinking, I am thinking it could be a scam to get your card info to steal your identity.

@Awfullybrave *hugs* You have every right to be. What is his nationality?

@Awfullybrave I have a twitter friend in California that spent four years in Marsailles during high school and said they were really rude and demanding.

@NativeOregonian He is actually from there too...Yeah I think your friend could be right by the way this guy is acting. Oh and he was yelling at me as well like is my fault 🙄

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave From Marsailles? Too funny 😳 It is his fault plain and simple.

Awfullybrave · F

@NativeOregonian Yeah. He seem drunk and dont really know if he left the keys inside or lost them but for some reason he was like, well is your house and fix It...my dad is gonna kill me 😭

@Awfullybrave *hugs* Technically it is your apartment, not your dad's, you are of legal age. Your apartment could not be subleased without your landlord's approval, I would speak with them.

@NativeOregonian I own the place but pay mortgage instead of rent..dad helped with deposit that's why he feels he has a say☹️

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave So therefore as your place you have overall say, no one else does.

@NativeOregonian My dad is harsh with me and have let him down many times so this isn't helping my redemption 😭

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave *hugs* It is still your home, not his, you own it, not him, he has no say. I know that he is your Dad and that you love him, but he needs to learn his boundaries, specially since you are an adult, and he needs to respect that.

@NativeOregonian dad is on the way to open the door for him, give him his entire rent back and kick him out and he will have a word with me when I get back home lol

@Awfullybrave *hugs* I hope your Dad brings police escort to be safe.

Awfullybrave · F

@NativeOregonian Nobody can hurt my dad!

@Awfullybrave *hugs* I'm just glad guns are banned throughout most of Europe.

Awfullybrave · F

@NativeOregonian What do you mean by that? What's guns go to do with anything right now?

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave Your renter could have had a gun when your Dad evicted him. In Europe it is actually less likely, here in the states you never know who is carrying one, whether legally or illegally. I am so very sorry for the late reply, it's 12:20pm tuesday here, making lunch now.

@NativeOregonian No. My dad is safe and the guy is gone

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave Awesome, that is what matters most :) 🤗 Was your Dad calm about it all?

Awfullybrave · F

@NativeOregonian Yeah of course!!...My dad is a legend😁

NativeOregonian · 51-55

@Awfullybrave Awesome 😁🤗
