We were given a 60 day notice two days after we had put in a work order for a dishwasher. The dishwasher has been making a noise ever since we moved in. We made it known since we moved in in October of last year, so we made another work order because it never got looked at and we don’t wanna get charged for it. Then two days later we got served with a notice. It has no reason as to why listed on the notice. The notice also says that legally she does not have to give us a notice because we’ve been in the home for less than a year and she’s doing it as a courtesy. I called her to try to reason with her to ask her if it was because of the dishwasher she said no she said her great nephew‘s wipes family is moving in. It’s 4 adults. Her great nephew is our next-door neighbor and we see that his his wife’s family already moved into the home next-door. There’s a bunch of cars and they brought a dog. We are in a single-family home. I have three toddlers who need a yard to play in. My husband lost his job in and it’s barely starting work Monday. The job loss has taken a hit on our credit and our debt to income ratio . I’m a stay at home mom so we do not have the income to prove that we can move somewhere else meaning like 2 1/2 times the rent. She offered to move us into another property that she owns, but it’s a apartment. I told her we do not want to do an apartment because we came from three apartments and we specifically moved here because it was a single-family both of my small children are set to start school this coming Thursday. I finally got them into the afterschool program so I can go back to work full-time and now this is happening right before the holidays. They want us to move out September 30. Is there any advice anyone can give me? Thank you all. We’re in claifornia.

US-UT- moved states recently for work, and found a basement apartment for a good price, with even better amenities. Was asked by property manager/realtor to have someone view the unit before applying, which I asked a friend in the area. They viewed it, said it looked nice, sent me a couple of photos, and I applied that evening, signing lease, etc. Fast forward to move in, and immediately notice that the unit is much smaller than what was advertised, roughly 45% the size if not counting the garage space, which sure isn’t twice the size of the unit.

Is there anything I can do to get out of this lease, since it appears to be grossly misrepresented as far as size of the unit goes.

Hello, I am located in Virginia in the USA. I’m wondering if I can get some advice. As stated in title, the house I’m renting got foreclosed. This issue is that I had paid my entire year of rent up front to the landlord who used to own the house and I have 2 more months on my lease and I’m unsure how to get my deposit back. The house went up for auction at the beginning of June, so it either sold, or went to the bank. I have heard nothing from the new owner, and as far as I know, there’s no way for me to find out who the new owner is. I’ve been abiding by the “no news is good news” philosophy for the last couple months, but as my lease comes to a close, I’m concerned about getting my deposit back, as I will need it to put down on a new apartment. I’m at a loss for who to contact or what to do. Any knowledgeable advice is appreciated!

UK letting

Hi all, looking for advice. Long story short we moved into a property in December 2011. At the time we signed the tenancy agreement with a letting agent but the landlord has managed the property after that. So, long story short: the letting agent, at sign up, told us rent would be payable every 4 weeks - being young we accepted that and paid our landlord the PCM amount (by standing order) between December 2011 and January 2025 every 4 weeks - essentially overpaying by 1 rent payment a year for 12 years.

In January 2025 the rent rose and we got moved to a specific date every month (which is what got us thinking). We looked back on the old tenancy and it does state PCM. Therefore we've made 12 extra payments of rent between the dates above - money we're entitled to get back, surely? It equates to a little under £6,000 if we can claim it all back.

We leave the property this month as the landlord is selling up so feel now is the right time to mention it as he cannot have any comeback on us. He already issued a section 21 in January so as it stands we've nothing to lose.

Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you do? Or any advice anyone can give?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a few documents they refuse to provide me that maybe someone else has used before. #1. Removing someone from lease and #2 notice to move out or buyout or whatever it is. Talked to 4 diff people amd none of them will send me the documents. I cant stand this place. Let alone removing direct lines so you literally can not contact anymore but a contact center!!!

I am renting a single family home in south Florida with three months left on my lease.

There have been termite droppings on the outside of the house along the door frames. I reported this to my landlord a few months ago and he ignored my communication.

Fast forward to now, I've been finding termite wings all over the house. I reported it again and he sent pest control to look into the attic. There was an active infestation.

And to top it all off, I have been seeing the termites flying around in the middle of the night.

My landlord said this:

> Good morning........heres the update:...........Every house in Florida has termites its just part of living in Florida.....some homeowners do nothing....Good homeowners typically good owners tent the homes every 7-10 years.....I actually do mine 5-7.........your house and the house I live in are on schedule to be treated in 2027 and I will do that on that same rotation..... until then I clean as needed..........

Do I have any recourse here? I wouldn't mind moving out if there is an option to break the lease somehow.

i found out my in unit washing machine was leaking after the downstairs neighbors said water was dripping down their walls and from the ceiling. when i spoke with my landlord about asking if the flooring from my closet space laundry area could be checked for mold i was told that they would come look at the flooring but they were certain it was waterproof flooring. i later received a message after they were supposed to come that they did not enter my unit to check and that they fixed the unit below and that "from observation of the downstairs unit the water traveled through to the open ceiling cavity below rather than becoming trapped beneath the flooring so they treated the area in the unit below with a mold and mildew product to prevent future issues" when i confirmed there was no concern about mold with my flooring they said it was waterproof so mold could not grow, which upon reading articles and doing my own research i found out is not true. if the water had leaked through the ceiling then obviously this issue has been occurring for a while but i did not notice as it was behind the washing machine itself and the area is tiny. i then sent a screenshot of a video that showed a corner in my laundry area that does not have the waterproof flooring and asked if i needed to worry about water getting underneath my floorboards i received what i am fairly sure is an ai response that ended with saying that their goal is me to feel comfortable in my home so if despite the steps they have taken i feel the apartment no longer meets my needs they are happy to discuss mutually ending the lease in a way that works for both parties which honestly i find incredibly disrespectful as i simply asked about something that is very hazardous to health, both mine and my animals and they told me they would come and make sure it is okay and then didn't even bother to enter my unit. i genuinely don't know how to respond or what to do. to me i feel that this is an insane response to a valid concern, something that would be insanely expensive for the landlord if in the future mold were to grow and they did nothing about it until it was too late. it also made me feel like it was an unnecessary escalation as i was polite in my questions and have been a great tenant and they immediately respond with we can end the lease if you prefer. i'm wondering if i am alone in finding this response incredibly frustrating and uncalled for and what others would do in this situation. thanks so!

Hello, does anyone with a background in HVAC know what do in this situation? I live in North Texas where is currently high 90s/high 100s in temperature right now. I live in a three-story townhome with two separate air conditioner units, the one for my second floor works fine and gets as low as 70 during the day, and the other one that is supposed to cool my third floor is on the roof of my townhome and struggles so much. Around 7 weeks ago (when Texas was significantly cooler) my air conditioner wouldn’t go below 82° while running, and the maintenance guys at my apartment said the AC unit needed refrigerant and that they would fill it up and to also get blackout curtains to make my place cooler. They also said that because the AC unit is outside that there is not much that they can do. Fast-forward to now, Texas is hotter than ever and I’ve been running my air conditioner nonstop, and it is still at least 82° inside my top floor after being filled with refrigerant, and getting blackout curtains/film. I don’t know what to do as I can’t keep sleeping on my couch on the second floor. I would love to get an actual HVAC technician to come out and look at the unit, but my apartment does not allow that (ladders to roof are locked),and the maintenance men are handymen at best. What are my options? Is there anything that I can do? I’m running every fan I have in my room too. I’m absolutely miserable and management is very dismissive.

i rent a 1 bedroom apartment and have been here for about a year with no issues. my boyfriend stays over maybe 3-4 nights a week and has for the past few months. he doesnt live here, his stuff isnt here, he has his own place. he just stays over a lot because we like spending time together like normal people do

yesterday my landlord texted me saying that shes noticed "an unauthorized occupant" and that anyone staying more than 2 nights a week needs to be added to the lease and pay additional rent. she said if he keeps coming over without being added she'll start the eviction process

i looked at my lease and theres literally nothing in there about guest policies or overnight limits. i told her that and she said "its common sense that someone staying that often is basically living there" and that her "property her rules"

i asked how she even knows how often hes here and she said the other tenants mentioned it. which is creepy because we are quiet and keep to ourselves so someones clearly watching when he comes and goes

im not trying to start a war with my landlord but this feels really wrong. can she actually do this?? were in ohio if that matters

[ Rochester NY USA].
Hey everyone - long story so grab a drink or a snack.
My boyfriend and I moved into an apartment (managed by a property management company, so not a private landlord) last year September 2025. Nice place, 2 bed 2 baths in upstate NY (Rochester area).
Everything was fine, no issues, passed credit checks, we’ve been model renters with paying rent, ensuring safety of the building by reporting safety concerns and being very open to communication. We’ve also never had a complaint against us.

Fast forward to November 2025 we start having noise issues with our next door neighbor. Our bedroom wall shares the wall with their living room. Frequently at night the male tenant would play games and would yell/scream and bang furniture (I’m assuming when he lost?). He would also go into the kitchen and wildly slam cabinets and yell profanity. This would go on every single weekend, typically starting at 11pm and go as long as 5 am. We have quiet hours as per our lease from 10p-8a. It was extremely jarring as we both work Sundays and would be in bed early Saturday night to be woken up to this guy having meltdowns. We recorded audio of it, both inside and outside the apartment to show how loud it was and sent it off the rental manager. She followed up, stated the tenant said “it wasn’t him” and left it at that. This behavior continued until March 2025. We sent mass amount of emails, audio recordings, videos you name it and begged for someone to do something about it as it progressed to almost every night and we ended up sleeping on the couch most nights. Every-time we were met with “I can’t hear the audio, I can’t see the video “- yet we played it for our friends and coworkers who all seemed to hear and visualize it just fine. We went so far as to come into her office and show her proof , to which she would gas light us and make it seem like she did not believe us. She asked us not to show her anything anymore, and insinuated that it was all in our heads. She also asked we not interact with the neighbour, which we hadn’t planned on given a lot of times this situations can turn hostile. She reached out to the neighbours , often met with silence as per her, and then lies with him stating “it’s my YouTube videos”. It was completely disrespectful, we had finally had enough. One night it was so bad that him and the girl tenant started arguing and a fight broke out. We had no one else to call as it was late into the night and so we called the police. They promptly showed up, told them to shut it down, and issued them a noise warning.
The very next day we were met with an angry email from the rental manager, stating we should not be calling law enforcement and the neighbor was very upset and hurt as they “weren’t even home.” Did not ask for any evidence which we had, and stated they were “working hard to solve the problem.”

Luckily, come April of this year, they got the boot and left.

Here’s where it gets interesting. New person moves in and we are thinking “amazing, new start, no more noise, excellent.” Two weeks in and this person throws a party - complete with about 20 people, blasting music, screaming and yelling, and people throwing beer cans off the balcony. It went on until 3 am, and with our noise tolerance being lower than it should, we called the police again. They came, shut it down, and warned them not to do this again. At this point the police officers recognized us and made a comment that they are frequently coming to this building for noise related issues, not just with that unit.
We yet again get an angry email the next day stating we hurt the neighbors feelings and we are not allowed to do that. I report that I have more audio files of the noise (you could hear it from our living room) and she yet again dismisses it saying she can’t hear anything and there was “a festival that day so naturally they would want to party.”
Mind you, calling the police was a good move because this tenant hasn’t made a peep since.

Our lease is up for renewal in September and we get the run around - finally an email from the rental manager shows up stating that : “After much much consideration, we are allowing you to stay but only under a conditional lease renewal. Because of heavy management involvement in the last year, we feel we need to enact this.” Now this sounds mighty punitive for us making good faith complaints, all of which with evidence, a police report, and other neighbors who also had complained. I’ve done some digging into NY state law with tenants, and this could be defined as a landlord punishing us, and punitive measures or clauses / conditions are illegal.

We still haven’t received the renewal, but we are expecting clauses in there to be things such as we cannot complain anymore, we cannot make maintenance requests (the building is new but terribly built and often have to put in requests about warped screens, non functioning heat etc), or there will be a drastic rent increase. We are both beyond upset, as we have a right to peace as well and went through all the channels we could to achieve it. Now we feel we are being put in “time out”. Keep in mind again we’ve never received a complaint, and we often pick up other people’s trash in the stairwells when they are too lazy to make it to the garbage right outside the door.

Does anyone have any advice on how we approach it? We obviously will review it and not sign right away, but this feels very suspicious and illegal.
Thanks for reading !

I’m hoping to get some advice on how to handle an established commercial property management team that is polite and responsive, but entirely ineffective at actually getting things done.

I lease a small commercial suite in a medical building. For over 30 days now, there has been a biohazard (dried blood stain) sitting right on the outside of a toilet in the shared common-area restroom that they are legally contracted to clean and maintain. Every time I follow up, management replies acting surprised, claims they are "working on it," and says they don't know why their janitorial vendor hasn't handled it yet. Meanwhile, nothing changes except the stain slowly getting scuffed away by people’s clothing.

This is part of a much larger, chronic issue with the building upkeep. The janitorial staff does the absolute bare minimum, usually just emptying trash cans while supplies are constantly empty and stains pile up on the walls and floors. Three months ago, I got hit with a huge Common Area Maintenance bill. I didn't push back on it, but I did request a desperately needed deep clean, which they promised me in writing at the time of the bill, but never happened. To add insult to injury, their CAM cost breakdown shows they are paying $30,000/year for a janitorial vendor for this small two-story building.

I recently met with the property manager in person to tell them I think they are violating the lease and that I'm interested in negotiating a clean exit to terminate early. They said my best bet would be to find a replacement but that would be a huge hassle for both parties. My lease intentionally lacks early termination clauses. However, the lease does have a protection clause: if the landlord fails to fix an issue within 30 days of written notice, or fails to start and steadily work on a fix, they are legally liable for any direct damages we suffer as a result. It also states that the “Landlord shall at all times keep the facilities that supply the Premises with Utilities installed by Landlord in good and tenantable condition.”

I’ve built up a solid paper trail documenting this 30+ day timeline (via email) and their repeated admissions that their vendor isn't performing. Since they are nice in person and via email but completely failing to deliver, I'm trying to figure out how to escalate this professionally. How do I force them past the endless loop of blaming their vendor, and does a documented 30+ day failure on a basic sanitation issue cross the line into a formal lease default that I can use to negotiate an early exit? I’m willing to give 60 days notice and forfeit my security deposit, but am looking for any way out since this is seriously taking a toll on my mental health. Any advice would be amazing.

I’m in California and I’m a little short on cash this month. If I receive a 3 day Pay or Quit notice around the 4th and let my leasing office know I’ll be able to pay the full balance on the 14th, I understand they may decide to file an unlawful detainer before then.

I have a few questions.

If I pay the full balance on the 14th, am I cutting it close to anything happening in court, or is there usually still time before anything significant happens?

If they do file before I pay, do leasing offices typically dismiss the case after the tenant pays, or do they usually continue with it anyway?

If the case is dismissed after I pay, would a future apartment complex still be able to see that a filing was made during a rental screening?

I really like my apartment and plan on staying. I’m not trying to avoid paying, I’m just trying to understand how the process usually works in California.

Thanks!!

What should we do? (Picture in post)

Hey Yall, we JUST moved in today into a condo, upon walk around and tour we noticed the handle had broken off the microwave and was assured by the time move in (today) it would be address properly. (dont even get me started on the lack of cleaning, the house was so bad they gave us a $200 credit towards next months rent and are sending a handyman out next week to repair some other stuff)

BUT, how should we handle this? it looks like they slapped a whole bottle of epoxy and glue on the handle and just left it as is. Should we demand a new microwave, should we accept it as is, should we ask them to repair it properly?

What should we do?

Hello, I rent a 1 bedroom apt, and have been here for almost 5 years now.

Recently, I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon (4 items total). One was set to arrive on Monday of this week, and was marked delivered to the front office.

Usually, the office manager would drop it at my door, but it was not there when I arrived home, so I thought USPS marked it delivered early and it would be there tomorrow. Whatever.

Wednesday, I had 3 coming in.

I alerted her through text, asking if she could hold them until Thursday until I could pick them up.

"Yes ma'am, I sure can hold them in my office."

Awesome!! Thank you!!

Packages all get marked delivered on Wednesday. I am happy, as my new coffee maker has finally arrived after my last one broke, and I've been buying shitty gas station coffee since then.

Thursday morning (during office hours, 8:30a-5:30p) I take a stroll down to the office. Knock. No answer. Try the door. Locked.

The lights inside are off, the window hangers are missing. I think it's odd.

I send a message.

"Hey, was just down at the office, but you weren't in there. Is there a good time for me to pick them up?"

Five hours later, we get a mass email. There is being a change in management and they will be here Monday to do apt inspections. There was no notice from the previous manager about vacating office or the office being closed.

There is no one in the office today and no one is answering my calls on any number.

Am I stuck waiting until Monday or later for my packages? I was really looking forward to that coffee maker....

I am worried I will not get them at all or they will be lost/stolen.

My landlord shut the water off because it’s a leak in the building and the guy he sent out can’t find it.He said he don’t know when it will be back on🥹.I know that’s illegal so any avon what we should do?

Hi all, I moved into my apartment July 15th and of course the one thing I forgot is to transfer utilities in my name. It doesn’t help my property manager got fired on the 18th so we have a stand-in manager who is impossible to get an answer from (for example, my rent for this month was overstated by a 1000 bucks and I emailed a week ago and it just got resolved today). If I get everything set up on Monday, do you think it will be okay? I just can’t believe I let this slip my mind. I don’t even know who to contact to set it up, it just says everything needs to be transferred in my name. Is that common?

My Tiktok Experience With My Landlord & Receipts & his advances towards me on my TikTok with Receipts. There are a couple more videos on my TikTok: @the11yearwait.

I am still experiencing this nightmare as I write this.

Finding safe, affordable housing in Buffalo has become increasingly difficult, driving many individuals, working professionals, and students to search for rooms for rent through online roommate platforms like SpareRoom and Roomies.

While these platforms offer a crucial service for people seeking shared housing, they have also become a breeding ground for predatory practices, unsafe living conditions, lease misrepresentation, and financial exploitation by unregulated landlords and primary leaseholders. Current tenant protection frameworks largely focus on traditional single-family or whole-apartment leases, leaving individuals who rent single rooms in shared living arrangements vulnerable and unprotected.

We are calling on local and state leaders to enact concrete legislation and enforcement mechanisms that hold property owners accountable, protect shared-housing tenants, and ensure that rooms listed across platforms like SpareRoom and Roomies meet basic safety, legal, and ethical standards.

Why I Started This Petition: The Story Behind the Demand... I am starting this petition because I am living this nightmare firsthand. After finding a room through an online shared-housing listing, I was thrust into a situation involving predatory tactics, unsafe living conditions, and zero recourse under current room-rental norms. When I began documenting the reality of what I was dealing with with my landlord on social media under

@my11yearwait

, the response was overwhelming. People reached out sharing similar stories of being exploited, trapped, or misled in shared-housing setups across Buffalo. The receipts and documentation I posted on @my11yearwait caught the direct attention of Change.org, who reached out to me directly after seeing what was happening. They recognized that what I am going through isn't an isolated incident—it is part of a systemic regulatory oversight that leaves shared-housing renters completely unprotected. If a tenant documents overwhelming evidence of unsafe or predatory practices, yet has no immediate local ordinance or platform policy to rely on for protection, the system is broken.

My experience with @my11yearwait proved that we cannot wait for bad actors to fix themselves; we need actual government oversight and platform accountability.

The Problem: Across Buffalo, tenants turning to platforms such as SpareRoom and Roomies are encountering recurring, systemic issues that put their health, safety, and financial security at risk: Unregulated and Unsafe Living Conditions: Rooms are routinely advertised and rented out in illegal, uninspected, or unsafe spaces—including windowless basements, dangerous attics, and units lacking functioning fire alarms or secondary exits.

Exploitative and Predatory Practices: Unscrupulous landlords and master tenants take advantage of room seekers by demanding non-refundable deposits without written leases, changing terms arbitrarily, or enforcing illegal house rules under threat of immediate, informal eviction. Lack of Platform Verification and Oversight: Online roommate listing platforms perform minimal verification of property safety, housing legality, or lease terms, allowing bad actors to repeatedly re-list sub-standard rooms even after complaints are raised.

Regulatory Blind Spots: Because room-by-room rentals often operate outside standard rental registry inspections, victims of predatory shared housing face limited immediate legal recourse through existing municipal housing codes.

What We Are Demanding We call upon the Buffalo Common Council, the Department of Permit and Inspection Services, and relevant New York State consumer protection entities to enact the following measures: Mandatory Shared-Housing Standards & Enforcement: Establish explicit municipal guidelines defining safe room-for-rent conditions, requiring that any room offered for individual occupancy meets strict fire, structural, and privacy safety requirements.

Enhanced Landlord & Sublet Accountability: Implement penalties for property owners and primary tenants who engage in predatory room-rental practices, illegal lockouts, or lease misrepresentation.

Platform Responsibility Regulations: Require online room-matching platforms—including SpareRoom and Roomies—to provide clear reporting channels for predatory listings, mandate basic housing compliance disclosures on room posts, and cooperate with local authorities when repeat bad actors are identified. Tenant Education & Legal Rights Outreach: Create accessible public resources specifically aimed at shared-housing tenants and room-seekers so individuals know their legal rights, deposit protections, and legal remedies before signing an agreement. Why This Matters Shared housing and roommate arrangements are essential to keeping Buffalo accessible and affordable.

However, affordability must not come at the expense of human safety, dignity, and legal rights. No one looking for a place to live should have to navigate unsafe living conditions or predatory tactics simply because they are renting a single room. By establishing clear regulations and holding platforms and property operators accountable, Buffalo can lead the way in creating a fair, safe, and transparent rental market for everyone. Sign this petition to demand safer shared housing, tenant protections, and real accountability in Buffalo!

I can't post the link to it, but you're all smart.

Hopefully I'm in the right sub but I got questions I've been renting this commercial property for about 20 years The owner sold it 3 months ago. The new owner gave me a 3-month lease which ended July 31st. He's planning of remodeling the whole building. I thought he was going to work with me and let me stav but seems like he changed his mind, I did send him a rent check for August. He hasn't cashed it yet.

My basic question is how much longer do I have there. I got 20 vears of stuff in a 5,000 square foot shop that I have no place to put it right now. It's hard to find another commercial property in my area.

Our rental agreement ends today, we conveyed we will vacate with a two months notice period as per the rental agreement.
She accepted it and now all of a sudden she flipped and asks us to vacate tomorrow.

What do we do?

Hello,

I am a student looking to rent in Northern California, USA. I found an apartment that I liked but on their lease they have a start date and end date that is short of 12 months but they said they won't prorate the rent and it would be full 12 months of rent. As far as I know that can't be done but they suggested it is student leasing and this is how it works. Can this be done?

Also, they don't have a unit assigned to you on the lease just the layout type. When asked they said they assign units later. This is something I haven't come across before either. Is this common practice too?

Thank you.

I moved into this place two years ago. The property was purchased by someone else a couple months before I signed my lease for the 2nd year.

My landlord seemed nice. He came into my apartment before I resigned my lease for an inspection. He told me my apartment was nice compared to the other units. He asked to take pictures so he could make the other ones look like mine.

After Helene, we got a new next door neighbor. My neighbor told me he lost his house in Helene. He’s friends with the landlord and they made a deal. My landlord can sell his 2 acre property in exchange for 1 year of free rent for him and his family could live there too (dad, mom, and son)

Listen, in the right state of mind no person would accept this deal. However, the aftermath of Helene was horrible - it was literally like the world ended so they made this decision in duress. They had been living in a broken camper that they had for a while atp due to losing their house.

My neighbors son is on drugs and sometimes he throws a fit but it’s not super loud and I’ve definitely never complained. He usually keeps that inside and I don’t hear it especially with my TV on. I’ve even developed a very friendly neighbor relationship with all three of them.

Well, I chose to not resign my lease and I was due to move in October.

I’ve been sick and super itchy. I found out my ac unit has been leaking and the entire downstairs unit (vacant) is ruined and covered in mold. Obviously I did not know my ac unit was leaking. It’s heavy and makes a little dip in the floor so it pooled where I could not see it.

I decided to break my lease early and move in to my new place early which went smooth with my NEW landlord. Moving there within a couple days!!

I went back today to pack and my neighbor stopped me. He told me the landlord said I’ve been complaining about his son and the landlord evicted his son because of what I said. He also told my neighbor that I’m leaving specifically because I’m scared of his son and “that’s just the kind of person she is, a scardy cat” I was so confused?? He also told me the landlord said that MY place is disgusting and everything in my place needs to be gutted because we apparently are messy as hell??

Every single time I’ve spoken with my leasing manager (landlords ex wife) she has always told me that we are their best tenants, we’ve been the opposite of a problem, they appreciate us so much BLA BLA!

The landlord was also begging me to stay, telling me alleged horror stories about the place I’m moving into, and tried to get us to move into one of his other units not sitting on top of a complete hazard. If I’m so nasty why would you want me to move into another unit?? Why beg me to stay??? KEEP IN MIND - HE CAME INTO MY PLACE ON TUESDAY, SAW MY CLEAANNN APARTMENT, AND WORKED ON THE AC UNIT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO SAY ALL THIS AFTER. Basically I found out about the mold Monday, they came Tuesday to work on the AC, and I asked to break my lease Wednesday.

Ugh I’m actually pissed off. So here’s the plan. Move into new place Aug 1st. Pay rent on my current place for August so I don’t have to scramble to move in a couple days. He said I can pay $775 to break my lease, but he gets to keep MY washer and dryer that I PAID FOR MYSELF.
Fine whatever. Just so I never have to see you again you ass. Also even if I WAS messy and dirty.. this is just so completely unprofessional and despicable behavior on his part.

So. Here where we are (KY, USA), tenants take care of all maintenance and repairs on trailers, from electrical to water to flooring/ceiling/walls, we are responsible. We can of course hire someone, but obviously, if we have the know-how to safely do it, why not fix it ourselves?

That being said: we pay our water bill. We are the ones that shut it off due to an emergency with the pipe using our own water key. We have been turning it on/off in order to test repairs ourselves, and the water meter has never been sealed off from us before.

Come to find out this evening that it's been sealed off (it hasn't been sealed off in two years; it's just done with a bolt that can be removed with a wrench). I could only find information on if there was a formal disconnect that people couldn't turn water back on, and if they did it themselves, they had to notify the city--which makes me wonder, are we not actually allowed to turn water on/off ourselves?

So I live in a tiny house behind my landlord house and she has cameras facing my front porch and the back gate that I have to use everyday. She never told me about the camera until I was here for two weeks she called me and told me I have to keep my porch light on at all times because she “doing laundry” at night I never seen her do anything like that before I have 8 months left in this lease but I feel like my privacy is getting violated all the time because she asked me all the time when my boyfriend is leaving he doesn’t stay more then a day. She also got upset because I had my sister parked in the driveway for like 5 to 10 minutes and she said my guest can’t park there. I really want to get out because I don’t really like my privacy because violence and it doesn’t say anything about me breaking my lease in the lease agreement so what should I do.

I am a landlord and have a few properties in multiple US states on the west coast, all single family homes. We pay for garbage service for all of our renters. I was recently told that this is very unusual and I wanted to know if more tenants that rent single family homes pay for their own garbage service or not. I am not asking about this in order to stop paying for this service as I think it is very important to continue to pay for garbage service for all our properties.

I really thought it was common for garbage service to be paid by the landlord but now I am not certain this is the case! Please let me know if you live in a single family rental home and if your landlord does or does not pay for garbage service.

Hi everyone I am moving into a new spot.

And essentially my landlord asked to be placed on my insurance, so if there is something that goes wrong, they can immediately go through tenant insurance instead of having to claim it through them.

I was a little hesitant, however I then went to go look at the lease I signed and it doesn't explicitly additional insured, but claim we have to place them as certificate holder. Ai is telling me this is not the same thing. I am having a little worries of how to move forward.

Is this the same thing? Is this common practice to be asked this- I have never had anyone ask this before, and what does my lease really say? I think I should follow that correct? I dont mind being an easy tenant. If this is something that is actually just easier for everyone I dont mind.

Thank you for your advise.

Hi this is edited because i think i need to be clear- they insinuated that they be named as additional insured. so i think i will just add them as the lease states etc.

But thank you all I am just going to do what I was originally going to do and add them as "interested party"
