Sanctuary....

[celestinewolf]

So, many of you know about the difficulties I've encountered with my duplex since my move-in last February. A quick refresher....the place was a complete and utter pigstye. The Landlord's Son, daughter-in-law, and their 2 year old lived in it for 3 years. I'm quite certain that she hadn't cleaned.....EVER!!!! The home itself is beautiful, but

Next time. Get these "promises" in writing. FUg him. If he wants to be a creep, that's his deal. You've done your part. If you've paid for all the work and are gettin no compensation, maybe there's a way you can take him to small claims court. I dunno. This guy really does sound nuts. I'm so sorry to hear about this Diana. I hope you find something marvelous soon. Lease? What's this guy's deal? -Nik

nuts...

Thanks for your emotional support. I did perceive some benefits in renting from this guy...a) he was a friend of Vicki b) it was a 2-bedroom, 2-bath c) he gave me the first 3 weeks off rent for cleaning the place d) he asked for no deposit (which was good because I'd recently given most of my money to my family). I can't help but believe that this is yet another fine example of my gullible nature in which I take people for their word....my basic belief that people know and want to do the right thing. I've also learned that signing a lease agreement basically means quat in the eyes of the court because anyone can make up any reason to get out of them...and depending on the mood of the judge the day of the hearing....you may loose what seems like a cut and dry case. I don't know what to think some times about all this. I'm doing the best I can, and trying to learn from my experiences...but today, I feel less than competent in living this life.

Don't discount yourself with the court. I know all about knowing what's going to happen before doing anything, but, maybe... idunno, i hate that kinda hassle myself. Anyways, there may be a "window opening?" idon'tbelieve i just said that.
love, nik

Hey! Good job on being assertive with this guy in the first place though Diana. Seriously. THat's new for you, well kinda new. You have more in you. You're smarter than this guy. He's just full of piss. You can work something out with him. "an offer he can't refuse"-like a gansta. It's just bizness. Nothing personal. Yeah, I know it's personal, it's your home, was your home. BUt, if you really don't want to leave and want to work stuff out with him let him know that, but, make sure he understands what you've given to this situation. Maybe talk to his wife or something. I duno.
Love you.
