As I mentioned before my mom is moving out of her apartment in Cobleskill (the town I grew up in) to a new apartment about 3 minutes away from my house ( Read more... )

hmm, that is a crazy situation. i'm confrontational, but only to a degree. do you think he'd try to hurt you or mom? (i don't trust men well!!)

i'm just glad she's getting out of there...

Oh no, I am 99.9% sure he would never hurt her. He's just a jerk. This guy is in his 40s - as far as I know has never been married, doesn't have a girlfriend, has worked for the same company his dad does for years, he charges his parents rent for the apartment upstairs, his mom does his laundry, he is completely anal about his lawn and has a hissy fit if someone parks in "the wrong spot". He is just a freak, but he seems like a complete wuss.

I am not usually confrontational unless I am pushed, and this situation has me on the verge of freaking out on him. I don't want my mom to get ripped off and I know she won't do anything about it so I feel like I have to handle it. If I do confront him maybe I will bring Cory along to scare him, since Cory's big :p

and you know sarah it's not like you have to be like "you did...blah blah." just talk to him nicely, but firmly. ya know? by not jumping down his throat you don't instantly put him on the defense...

you say you understand he has to cover his butt, but...yah. sock it to him. nicely.

true! I'm just worried I'm going to get so angry that I'm not going to be able to remain calm. I might chicken out and not even say anything to him anyway knowing myself. Actually, he told my mom that he won't even be around on moving day so I don't know if I will even get a chance to.

actually, i think that's very manipulative on his part. (excellent buisness skills :gasp:) and furhtermore, i think she should have been allowed to move out even earlier when she first discovered him raummaging through her apartment. can't that be considered stalking? i'm sorry but there is not privelege that he deserves to go noseying through her private space unless she gives him permission and is there with him. i haaaate confrontations, but the housing people should at least be able to put their foot down. it sounds to me like she was trying to be very considerate of someone who won't give her half a break. *giant hug*

Yes, exactly, my mom is just being way to considerate of this guy.

I wish she had confronted him about entering her apartment without permission when she first found out, but that's my mom for you, she just lets everything slide. :(

I just hope this jerk doesn't get away with this. My mom needs the money more than he does.

Oh not much has been accomplished actually. I have been trying to do research online and print out NY tenant-landlord statutes to shove in this guys face but it's all really confusing and lots to read through. I think this guy is just going to end up getting away with it because the only time I will have to confront him is tomorrow as we are moving my mom out of the apartment but he told her that he wasn't going to be there all day tomorrow (has a funeral to go to or something) so...oh well. I guess this creep is just going to get away with my mom's money unfortunately :(

I just hope karma comes back to bite him in the ass some day.
