How long can landlord…?
By No privacy at all, and loosing ground
My new landlord has been doing improvements to the exterior of my house. At a snails pace. Been going on for over 2 months. During this time he put up a tent out behind the old broke down shed for his brother aka handyman to stay in. I let it slide, didn’t think it would be a permanant thing. They have changed the locks on the shed. So I am denied access to it. There is an extension cord ran from my house to the shed. When I unplugged it they just ran the cord to power pole. There is a garden hose extended from my house to the shop. I also have 3 garbage cans outside, which prior to 2 months ago I only managed to fill 2 of them up weekly. Now its 3 and sometimes an extra large garbage bag. Keep in mind no utilities are included in my rent. They have started painting my house at 6:00am and have still been painting outside my bedroom window at 8:45pm. They never let me know when they are going to be here or what they are going to be doing. I care for my disabled mother who lives with me and whos health has taken a turn for the worst. I have chosen to stay home with her til god either gives us a miracle or takes her. If moving wouldn’t be so tramatic to her I would move, but thats not in the cards. I have no idea how to deal with my new landlord since I have let everything slide. HELP!!!

Wow! I must say that sounds like an awful situation to be renting from. As a renter you are entitled to rights and I would think that having someone live in a tent behind the house would not exactly be ehtical. Your landlord shouldn’t be stealing electricity from you, that is completely wrong! Good Luck!! |

Are you for real! Your landlord has is brother sleeping in a tent behind your house? Uhhh, isn’t that a violation of health code? Have you thought about calling the health department? I bet they would get to move out of the yard– where in the world does this guy go the bathroom? If your vegtetable garden seems to be doing really well; might I suggest you pass on eating them!!! 😐 |

Unless you’re getting a killer deal from your landlord I would suggest high-tailing it out of there! Maybe its time to move!!! |
