I was considering filming what the handyman does... but maybe that would just make him nervous and cause him to walk out.<BR/><BR/>@everyone: I want to move. :( It's sad though, other than the landlord, this place has everything we wanted, and I don't know if we can find something comparable. Our rent is reasonable for the area (though every year he raises it as much as he can -- he'd probably like us out, so he can raise it for the next tenants even more). But once it gets closer to June (when our lease expires), I'll start looking.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments and support!!Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-10222690042279787632009-01-11T23:49:00.000-08:002009-01-11T23:49:00.000-08:00Yeeesh!

Second, to find out what you can do about his constant intrusion. <BR/><BR/>And what is this complaining that you don't stay in touch? You're not penpals fer cryin' out loud!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-27378527584632572172009-01-11T20:24:00.000-08:002009-01-11T20:24:00.000-08:00I agree with the folks, you might need to look int...I agree with the folks, you might need to look into other renting opportunities once your lease is up.

Our rent being below market rates helps too. ;]<BR/><BR/>But seriously, it's amazing how much people will put up with if the people they're dealing with aren't jerks, like your landlord. But I hope you can work things out--at least until your lease is up!mysticdomesticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678692482390681321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-26641810849988260642009-01-11T08:18:00.000-08:002009-01-11T08:18:00.000-08:00OMG, that is unbelievable.

I would start seeing what your rights are so you can get it fixed yourself.Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926161058644761041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-30562054772065412522009-01-10T17:40:00.000-08:002009-01-10T17:40:00.000-08:00Sounds like you have a SLUM lord, not a landlord. ...Sounds like you have a SLUM lord, not a landlord. I had one of those in college. It was a married couple (they were from the middle east) and they oversaw like 40 properties. They had no handyman service cause she always made her husband do it. When you have 40 properties thats a LOT of potential problems. It usually took MONTHS to get things fixed and he would just let himself in whenever with no notice really PISSED me off because I am a young woman and its just WRONG. <BR/><BR/>In the end they ended up keeping almost all of my deposit because they said I smoked in the apartment (I have never smoked a cigarette a day in my life) but I don't have the money or time to take them to court. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with yours. I would advise you get outta there as soon as your lease is up!!H.E.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00514402316650439777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-12539094958138200532009-01-10T17:21:00.000-08:002009-01-10T17:21:00.000-08:00Does he pay the water bill?
