My landlord is such a complete dork (page 2)

SheilaM

We are very familiar with this as my hubby does home repair and inspections (and is a writer) Yes, the dork can do this legally but you can ask to be there, have notice and make sure they know what they are buying LOL But make sure you keep your valubles locked tight my hubby has seen to many thefts from would be "buyers" also some case out a place for a burglery later (sorry but it is true) make sure you tell the landlord your concerns of this.

Also, the poor kitty...I have three Maine Coons that URP from the hairballs I have tried everything but they have such long hair and well it could be worse...wellll maybeeeee

((((((((lauralisa))))))))) I don't have any answers, but you truly have my sympathetic shoulder to cry on. This is just awful. Send your landlord here and I'll give him something to suck on!

Hope your kitty is feeling better soon.

Love and hugs,
Dottie

Thanks guys

Valis - you're quick, man! I noticed that freudian slip in the subject after posting - cracked moi-self up, well, not really, since I am NOT IN A GOOD MOOD. I miss YOU, muchly, and could use some of your always cool and relaxing company right about now.... (I'm all set up these days too )

Lisa - I have always liked your style. I AM going to insist on being present during showings. And there are some definite issues with the house like leaking roof, cracked foundation, inaccuracies in the freakin tax assessment which any non-fool prospective buyer would figure out in a heartbeat (home is worth like $75 K; w/six acres attached, the guy is asking $249K). The next-door neighbor's horses are all over the acreage, (I loved that !) so they'd have to battle property lines/fences.... PLUS the house will exist in a CONSTRUCTION ZONE for at least three years!!!!! Only a complete idiot would buy this place when there are like 50 other huge, luxurious homes for sale for less that $250K within 10 miles... with ponds, fireplaces, bathrooms with walls around them, etc.

caligirl, thanks for the kind words - mean so much right about now...

Bikerchic - thanks to you also. I'm not a complete slob, but there is no way in hell I'm going to do anything other than pick up my husband's underwear from the living room before the invaders arrive... and yep, I'm hiding all my narcotic prescriptions for sure (j/k) Wait ! I'll just put laxatives in the bottles labeled "category 3"!!!!!

Elsewhere: Calling a lawyer means $, so can't go there; I don't want to fight with anyone. Just have to find another place to live I guess..... people don't like to rent to anyone with dogs over .0924 pounds unless you give them your entire 401K plan as a non-refundable deposit.... don't know what they'd charge for barfing kitten deposit... Aggggh - thanks for the cool ideas tho!

LB: don't worry hun! I might IMAGINE revenge, but my old jw morals/pacifism/'suffering feels good' mindset still prevails... the place is crappy enough without my having to make it look any crappier!

Dottie: thanks, sweetie... he's so slimey, I wouldn't let him within 20 feet of you. I still need to write you to get your address so I can send you one of my crotcheted ornaments and put in an order for a beautiful dishcloth.....

Sheila - OMG that is like the #1 fear on my list.... when you're selling your OWN place, you at least have time to get all your stuff 'organized' *LOL* and all - I had three days' heads up and I still haven't put my summer clothes away! Now where am I going to hide all of my huge diamonds and original Van Goghs.......? OMG I AM TOTALLY PISSED OFF !!! thanks for responding...........

Hope I didn't miss anyone. Thanks loads, and wow I feel a little better actually You guys are great.

love, laura (who would never allow dork sucking to happen to anyone, anywhere)

Sending sympathy hugs your way. I rent too, so I know what it's like to have dorky landlords (esp those who are as tight as with spending money on repairs etc). I hope you aren't too inconvenienced by the prospective buyers.

I don't have any words of advice either; just here to lend a sympathetic ear. What a bitch to have to deal with right here at Christmas!! That sucks totally. Hey, grab a bottle of your favorite wine, sit back with a glass, and enjoy the fire (assuming you have a fireplace, which is something I don't have and want very badly and before you say it, yes I KNOW I live in Florida and I can always crank the a/c down ya know!).

Major hugs to ya!

BTW if your landlord is such a big investor, you might want to contact the media also..

Paint one of the rooms red and hang posters from the Exorcist, Amityville Horror and Psycho on the walls..................

If you plan on staying at this place, remember that one of these visitors may be your future landlord, so it would be best to present yourself well. There is nothing wrong with someone putting their own property on the market. Maybe you will get an even better landlord out of the deal?
