I am so overly annoyed with my landlord (landlady?).. I don't know if I'm overly annoyed because I'm pregnant, or if the situation is really just annoying. If I could walk out there and just punch her in the face I would.... I am THAT annoyed. We've always had issues with her. When we signed our lease, the realtor told us that the owners lived in the back house, but that the wife was in Hawaii and the husband was a ship captain, so he would be gone for months at a time. We were also told that we would have a spot to park on the dirt in front of our house. This may not seem like a big deal.. you're probably thinking "Just park on the street".. which is all fine and dandy, but when parking sucks and people are parking in front of your house and you have to park down the street because some asshole decided he didn't want to park in HIS driveway, it's kind of a pain. So, we parked in the dirt.. someone called the city on us and they came out to tell us that unless it was concrete and we had a permit, we couldn't park in dirt next to the driveway. Whatever, fine.. come to find out it was our neighbors that told on us. I really don't see how it's any of their concern? So, all has been fine.. etc. They were gone for a little while, then she ended up coming home with him.. we had asked him if we could get a small dog, he loves animals, so he immediately said yes. Later in the night, she forced him to come back to our house and tell us no.. after we had already planned to go pick up the dog that night.. we promised we would clean up after him, he wouldn't bark, etc.. if he did we would get rid of him (or move out lol). She reluctantly agreed. I don't see what the big deal is, considering they weren't often there. The floors in our house are awful, and weren't replaced (wood floors).. not like a dog would do any damage.. or any animals for that matter. - So anyways, a little time goes by.. and we get tons of ants.. we had to throw out tons of food etc. We kept telling them about it, they wouldn't do anything.. just do stuff themselves, like spray stuff outside of the house etc. Well, it wasn't working. Finally I said "These ants are getting out of control, we are going to move out if you don't have someone come in and take care of it" - so she finally did. The ants were everywhere, it was absolutely disgusting. They weren't even going for anything in particular. After that, she had gone back to Hawaii, and he was here off and on.. I noticed that I was not feeling well, breathing shitty, etc.. there was so much condensation on the walls that you could literally swipe your finger on the wall and your finger would be soaked. We moved the bed and dresser and found mold. I was able to clean it up, and we arranged the bed away from the wall. Our mattress was soaked.. our pillowed would end up wet in the middle of the night.. it was gross. THEN, I went in the closet to see.. and noticed that all of our shoes that were in the closet were molded and completely ruined... amongst some sheets and other things that were in there. At least $1000 worth of stuff. We told the landlord, we told him we cleaned it up.. he said okay, and that was that. Never came to check, nothing. I hadn't mentioned it ruining our things, I was upset that these were things we would have to pay to replace, but I said whatever.. it's fine. I was a little concerned that he didn't come and have it checked. We're breathing this stuff while we sleep, who knows what it could have done to us. I actually had to go to the doctor a few times within that span before we found the mold because I was getting sick a lot.
So anyway, after that later on down the road.. they were home again.. she had her kids over.. and then decided it was okay to have her daughter in law park on the dirt/our lawn in front of our house. WHY is that okay!? The street is a few feet away, and there was ample parking.. why can't she park on the street? Her being fat and lazy, is NOT our problem. We rent the yard as well as the house, it's in our lease!!! So, I went outside and said "Your daughter can't be parking there.. we already were warned by the city." she says "It's fine, I told her to" and I said "No, it's not fine.. we aren't allowed to park there, neither is she" and she said "it's fine" so I slammed the door. Resulting in her having her daughter move her car. Then, just this last week, her kids were coming again.. so she decided to park her big ass van in our backyard (it's a small backyard). Someone tell me why this is okay!? It's totally NOT okay! If we were parking our little car there, she would have a fit!
Next, I was the most upset with.. Travis and I had planted flowers in front of the house.. when we had moved in it looked awful, so we asked the landlord (the husband) if we could plant flowers.. he was excited and said of course we could. So, we planted flowers... bought some nicer ones, and a jasmine that Travis was super excited about that cost us over $20. I was talking to Travis the other day about how we should put the jasmine in a pot and either bring it with us, or give it to his mom. Then I wake up yesterday morning, to every flower we planted ripped out and in the garbage. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. She didn't say a word to us about it. I don't even think it's legal for her to be coming onto our portion of the property without notice! Then, the last 2 mornings shes been banging on shit outside of our kitchen window. No offense, but we're only here another 10 days or something.. can she not wait? Maybe she should at least ask if it's okay with us?!
We don't have A/C, and it's starting to get hotter.. not to mention our house is so small and it gets stuffy, I'd like to be able to open my windows and front door..but I can't because shes in the yard, and it's uncomfortable. UGH.
I hate her. I feel sorry for anyone who moves into this house when we move out.
Maybe all this stuff is petty b.s., but I'm VERY annoyed.
