OsuMj Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I am pretty close to giving up. My landlord may be (imo) one of the most difficult people to deal with - EVER!I "moved" into my apartment and found this:That would be my "toilet". This would be some of the mess that wasn't cleaned up yet:So after 8 days of imposing on others bc I can't live in the apartment that has no bathroom, my landlord was suprised when I called to say that I was tired of waiting and that the level of effort needed to be raised... now, she's is trying to lock me out of my house WITH MY THINGS INSIDE!! I spoke with a police officer, they suggested that I could break in as long as I take responsibility for the damages... *evil laugh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsn3485 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Dude, that's disgusting!!! It would be rather impressive to see you trying to use the "toilet" though.I suggest you take your stuff, file some kind of legal action (There's gotta be something to get your money back for that mess), and run far away.

OsuMj Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I signed back in July and the landlord's story was that the previous renter left the place a disaster and that she would have it srsly cleaned before I moved in - which is what would be expected. Also promised the bathroom renovations would be complete the saturday before I moved in. It has officially been 12 days since I moved in and its still not done. The previous renter left in the middle of his lease, left a huge mess, clothes in the closet, etc, so I dumbly assumed he was the problem... now I see why he moved. My landlord has resorted to calling me names and trying to demean me... I'm strongly considering moving... this is a bit much even for me.PLUS, the apartment is HUGE, beautiful woodwork, awesome neighborhood, 100ft from my place of employment... generally sweet... in my opinion, totally incompetent landlord though.

Likwid Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 damn. is there a contract?Even if there is Ohio protects renters, you can essentially evict yourself for things like bathroom, water, and heat if the landlord doesn't fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 pretty standard lease agreement.nothing stating that all that would be taken care of? cuz those are pretty horrible living conditions there might be something you can get out of the agreement with.

John Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 put your rent money into escrow until everything is fixed. really though, since the landlord sounds like a total ass, just leave. you go to OSU right? there is a free renters legal advice service there. you can go talk to them, and they will let you know what your rights are.

Or, you get about a dozen of us to show up at your landlords place and ask her wtf is up? We could politely ask that she rip up your lease agreement and everyone go their seperate ways.
