This post doesn’t make sense.
How are the cameras in the trees in the rental property powered? Neighbour is not climbing up to recharge batteries.
Why is the landlord not actively removing these cameras?
So far, there is no evidence whatsoever that the neighbour has done anything, or is a creep, other than OP speculating.
So, I would say, no, there are no grounds for breaking the lease, as the neighbour hasn’t done anything, and the solution is for the landlord to remove the cameras.
If the neighbour ever does do something creepy, or unacceptable, *then* there may be grounds for breaking the lease, depending on what it is. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I would recommend you do the same I guess lol, no way it would need 100x mirrors to reach a temp to melt plastic | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I studied physics in college and have worked with mirrors in a lab. The reflected light from a plane mirror has a little less intensity than the incident light.
I mentioned the Archimedes legend of a destructive array of mirrors, which would be like a big concave mirror. Good luck building or finding that. A laser would be more practical, if legal. Removing it or duct taping the lens would be a more effective measure. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
What if our lease says there are no cameras allowed to be used on the property? And now we have found cameras on our property. Isn't that at least something of negligence by the landlord and gives me a right to hold this lack of disclosure by the landlord against them? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I would write the landlord a letter, tell her she knowingly (given her niece) rented in an unsafe situation. She is to return your deposit, or you're filing a lawsuit for the cameras ON HER PROPERTY and for not informing you.
Might not work, but I'd be calling every single day, making her life hell. Also see if local media is interested in the landlord who has cameras hidden in their trees and claims it's not theirs but refuses to help. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I agree a laser would be more effective, I think we all studied physics in college, are you saying you majored in it? Either way, I’m not saying it’s efficient, I’m saying it could be done with much less than 100 mirrors, I’m not saying one tiny mirror is going to do it… | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
The landlord has to be given an opportunity to remedy the situation, which in this case would be removing the cameras.
Why haven’t they already removed them? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Apparently, she and her previous tenants never noticed them. She's "on vacation" right now so she'll "get to them when she can". Obviously I don't have a giant ladder to climb to get them down either. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
She could hire someone to remove them, or you could and deduct the cost from rent - with the landlords permission.
In any case, the landlord should be moving on this urgently, vacation or not. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If they are on your property rip them out what is he gonna say they damaged my property that was on OPs property side?!?! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
One option is to have the landlord uninstall them since it's against lease rules to install them. Thus, he doesn't have the right to have them either. Simply ask your landlord to uninstall them. He can't refuse even if they're his because he then either rats himself out or loses the cameras.
Now if you don't feel safe you can try and ask the landlord once again to kindly be understanding of your situation and how unsafe it is by letting you leave without problems from the contract. Or you can try some sneaks means I'm sorry I can't come up with a good way to handle this in that manner 🤔😅 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This but only the ones that look into your back yard and other places where you have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" in most states, you are not allowed to place cameras looking into anywhere that you expect to be private, like inside your home and in your back yard. Your front yard and door are not considered private areas, unless maybe if you have privacy fences going around the side and front along the sidewalk. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
People point cameras at the sun. No damage. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
OP, if you're going to go the drone route, make sure you follow all the rules. Don't need him calling the cops on you. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
To be honest this is and awesome idea since they can't do anything if you said
"I don't know anything about it" lol ironic | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I'm all for getting a firearm and learning to be proficient with it, but I feel like there are other steps to take in this situation. A gun doesn't solve the issue if all the guy wants to do is voyeur and never escalates. In the meantime, I'd remove the camera since they're on the property I have access to, and have the guy charged for trespassing if he tries to do anything about it, especially now that its already on record that this isn't a safe space. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If I was a woman…. I’d go the gun route for sure. Just a small one. One that can fit in a handbag easily or a bra holster…. Small .38 be more than enough. Guys like that are scary. You don’t know when it’s going to escalate. Remove the cameras and go from there. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yes there was a post in relation to a neighbour having a camera up pointing to a teens bedroom. And agree, laser pointer will do the job nicely.
For OP, if neighbour denies any knowledge can always take them down and point at a wall. Will learn soon enough if they are his or someone else's. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I’m guessing that the rock that someone threw knocked those camera out of the tree and you were nice enough to dispose of them. You never though to ask the landlord as he already said not his | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If he “knows nothing” about the cameras and said as much to police then it’s time to trash the cameras in the backyard. If they don’t belong to anybody then they’re just litter after all | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If the cameras are on your property just take them down and put them in a box or closet. I doubt the neighbor will dare approach you asking where his cameras are since he doesn't seem to want to admit they're his cameras lol. Take them down. You should have done this already :) I'd also Low key put a ring camera somewhere facing your back yard, despite what the landlord says. Have it somewhere not obvious Maybe on the inside of your window. In case he tries coming on your property to plant more. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Since your landlord knew about the issue with the cameras, and they are the reason that her niece moved out, then you might be able to break your lease because of nondisclosure. Check with a lawyer. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
No, I'd take them down, give them to the police, who should be able to track the owner through the serial numbers. Then they became evidence of voyeurism and would be grounds for a search warrant to look for footage on hard drives etc in the house and possible voyeurism/stalking charges. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Not everyone studies physics in college, but it’s irrelevant. A plane mirror wouldn’t focus light unless you use a lens. You could use a concave mirror of some sort and it would focus light at a point, or you can place a lens after the mirror to focus the light. The incident light isn’t technically parallel but it’s pretty close. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I went to a college that required it, so everyone at my college did, but you are right, not all colleges require it which I didn’t think about :) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Great Idea....even better have it pointing to a dark corner with someone standing in said corner facing said corner with wreath of grass above them :)
Ok I'm weird.... :)) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Bonus points: put something that's constantly moving like the [drinking bird](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_bird) thing that will just make the camera storage fill up and use battery faster. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This is true. In this case I'm sorry it's true but you can film anything your eye can see from your own property. Sadly | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I don't even think OP needs to ask permission to have a camera on the inside in a window. It's a decor item :), I'd just do it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Get one of those grabber claws. Or spray paint them. Take charge. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Right? I doubt it's actually legal to prohibit the OP having security cameras. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Smash the shit out of the ones on your property and then see if he comes looking for reimbursement. He can’t be that smart if he’s installing the same exact cameras that are visible on his property, on yours. Hopefully the destruction of property won’t fall on you since his crimes of trespassing, pestering, stalking, harassment etc. are more severe. And maybe if they can get into his stuff they will find a lot of saved evidence against him. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Laser pointer to burn out the sensors. Camera's of your own to cover your yard and tree's. Catch him coming in to replace them. Call the police with evidence. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Exactly.
The cops cannot tell you what you can do, on your property, with gear that's legal to use.
I'm glad Special K is giving up his spread of incorrect information. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
He says they're not his and now it's on your property so they're yours now. Take them down yourself. If he comes around asking for them don't give it to him and call the police back to say that he's confessed. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Escalate, destroy the unknown surveillance devices and leave them hang as a totem to privacy. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

*laughs in 100degree weather* | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I would email or text your landlord that the police responding to your call flat out stated they don’t think you’re safe living there. This was after they made contact with & spoke to the neighbor.
You sincerely wish she had told you prior to you moving in that her niece had to break her lease suddenly due to the same behavior from the neighbor. You suggest that she not rent to anyone else without disclosing the neighbor’s concerning behavior, especially women.
Your move out day will be x, you’ll return the keys on x. You expect your security deposit, etc., back in full. FYI, in accordance with your lease, you didn’t install any cameras. All the cameras on her property, according to the police, appear to be the neighbor’s. All are focused on her bedroom windows, doorway, porch. At last count there were x, but he appears to be adding more.
See what she says, OP. She already let one woman break her lease due to the creep, so she set the precedent that he’s enough of a threat to allow it. Doesn’t matter if it was her niece or not. Stand firm, you’re terrified, you’re under 24/7 surveillance, he’s even adding cameras. How could she rent it out knowing he’s unhinged?! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I would get an attorney to fire off a letter about her not voicing the fact that the last tenant left because a SEXUAL PERVERT lives next door. I would tell her that lawsuits are alot more expensive than you getting out of your lease because you fear for your life. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Am I missing something, on your property, neighbor isn’t claiming them, nor is landlord? Just remove them | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Please damage the camera in any way possible, but also, please hide too. (I.e. blinds, blackout curtains, etc.) It sucks that you have to keep private like that, but now, privacy and protection seems to be very essential. These kinds of people will never stop. And that, unfortunately, is reality. The worst part of it. Also, record and report what you can. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Take his cameras off your property and point them at his house. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
She actually said that the landlady admitted her niece, who used to live there, left because of this neighbor. I believe that omitting these kinds of things can be cause to break a lease, but definitely check wit( your local tenant advocacy board or a lawyer.
If you cannot break your lease without penalty, go buy reflective window film. You can have the one way reflective kind that allows you to easily look out while preventing anyone from looking in. I don’t have problem neighbors but have these up on my bedroom windows (added safety precaution).
In the meantime, I would pull the cameras out of the trees and destroy them. He denied their his, they don’t belong to your landlady, so they’re trash. Good luck. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
You have the right to have a personal camera inside your rental pointing out though. That's electronic equipment. Again....just get a ring and have it inside facing the back yard. Your landlord has no say in that. I did that years ago when people kept coming on my apartment patio stealing stuff, Just having the inside camera visible put a stop to it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I got something similar to this on Temu:

Umm - if the cameras are on YOUR PROPERTY - just take them. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Are the cameras in trees on that property? If so trim the trees and make him come to you for the cameras. Before you give them back, download the content. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |

If the cameras are on YOUR property, beat them down
With a baseball bat and call it a day. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Oh yes it can. It can cause damage to the cameras image processor or sensor filament. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Sounds like they are your cameras? They’ve been left unattended on your property. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Congrats on that. For they cannot deny the cameras are invasion of privacy. Hope you were able to find a better place to live with the money. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
What’s the problem? The landlord said they are not hers, they are not yours. They are in your tree. Go take them down. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
I’d take them down if they’re on the property you rent and your land lord knows nothing about them.
Or tape a water proofed picture of Nicholas Cage to where the lens is. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
The camera is on your property? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
No point in saying this since you solved the problem already, but.... I would've suggested to cover up the windows they were aimed at with curtains or blinds & then if you could, spray paint the lens' | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Do you think green or red would work better? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
I’m just curious what makes you think the situation might be safe? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
Never said it specifically was. Was just asking if that is what was specifically said or was something taken out of context. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
By saying it might’ve been taken out of context, you’re implying the police officers didn’t think it was an unsafe situation. The opposite of that is a safe situation… why on earth would you think it was taken out of context if you agree it’s unsafe? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
Get a BB gun and shoot them out | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
YES! It was pointed into the daughter’s bedroom. She did it. And then when the police questioned him he shared footage of the UNDERAGE DAUGHTER changing. Which opened up a world of well deserved hurt his way. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
A few ways to deal with the next situation that may arise in the future with neighbor having cameras that point into your property/home. Especially if they are on their property. If there is a fence between the properties, get a bird, squirrel, etc. feeder and place it above, on your side of the fence, between your window and the camera. May have to find a way to put it up so it is not permanent. Hardware stores may help. Put a solar powered lights on it, and bright colors and reflective surfaces of various sizes on the side pointed toward the camera. Have varying powers lights around it as well that change all the time. The camera will be attempting to focus, especially when it gets dark. Get bigger lights that can clamp onto surfaces. Want these to also be solar powered, etc. Aim them just over the fence. Help if they changed color, intensity, etc. all the time. Do not aim at his house. Enjoy the night lights outside. And there isn't much he could do about it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-26-07 |
Assuming they were bought with credit cards then the police probably could do this maybe or at least see what network they were connected to as in if they were connected to the neighbor's Wi-Fi then obviously they're his and he set them up but I highly doubt that they would take the effort to actually go to that trouble. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-26-07 |
Sadly, you're most likely right. At the very least OP or her landlord should remove them. Since they were illegally placed there and pointed at OP's bedroom. Whoever put them there wouldn't have any recourse and if the individual foolishly tried. The police would have the necessary information to further investigate. Again assuming the police were willing to put in the effort. Something I just thought about, aren't most wireless cameras linked directly to some sort of cloud based storage? I've been out of law enforcement for over 10 years now so I wouldn't know how easy it would be able to access that now | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-27-07 |
either works well! I've learned that green stands out though, so be mindful of visibility! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-08-08 |
Email again, saying they've been notified repeatedly of a hazardous living condition and done nothing. Cc the highest people in the property management company you can. Tell them you hope they solve this issue, but if not, as a heavily pregnant mother you will take the steps necessary with the local government and also contact the news.

Haha. Ok. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
you are too vague about many things and baity specific about another.
You don't disclose your country and city, so that we don't know if you're in Canada, the USA or elsewhere.
You don't tell if you have any existing savings or checking in your own name.
You need to go to a credit union, show them your post.
The advice to start with maybe Macy's credit card is good but if you have a few hundred dollars savings your (new) credit union can start you with a secured card altho personally, because there is a Capital One Cafe in my city, I got my secured card from them...
...within about a year after having that secured card, and hardly charging anything but always paying it off in full, on time, I'd gotten a credit limit increase and then before I even asked they refunded my secured deposit and converted me to a non secured card.
In the 5 years since that credit journey started, I never changed my address and only once changed my phone number, but that's because I was lucky that not be officially a renter on a lease where they ran background credit checks, I just always filled out every credit app by listing my friends paid for house as my home address and my rent as zero—but really that may not be what helped bounce around a 747 credit score, since my younger friend with lower pay, less stability has about 21 points higher credit rating/score each month, maybe they live that he has had same phone number longer than anybody ever had :)
best wishes to you on setting aside a certain amount of time each day to think about investing a certain amount of time each week with wise people that have a level of financial stability that you are intrigued/impressed by.
p.s. sorry about the snark where I say it was baity specific to include your gender/sex, but for this topic it is much less relevant than giving people an idea of if you are in NYC or Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or LA which would enable people to talk specifically about brands of banks/credit unions you can walk into and do something immediate about your situation.
You didn't mention much if anything about your school's Financial Aid office and if you'd talked to anyone there that felt they could depart from mere FAFSA talk into topic of personal credit, work study etc ...
When deciding how much student loan debt to take on, or avoid— doing whatever, work study, outside jobs, etc, the main issue is are you skillful and hungry/eager, will you not only complete your degree but go into the job market prepared AND focused on the fact that you can do better than others at winning jobs that will help you defeat debt.
Best wishes! pps. people that already have a Discover or Capital One or credit union card might get you a $50 or $100 referral bonus, amounts for you and them may vary. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
thank you so much! and yeah i don’t use reddit a lot and i wasn’t sure how much personal info to include. here’s some possibly helpful info: my school is nyc, i’m not currently employed (but applying to places everyday) and i have a little over 10,000 of personal savings from previous jobs. i really appreciate the advice!
edit: i have contacted my school advisor about seeking more financial aid but they tend to be pretty stingy after your initial package. i will be looking into outside scholarships as well. and i have a grandparent who has about $7,000 saved for my college fund which would cover about 1/3 of a semester | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
thank you! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Thank you :) it's an awkward situation for any of us whenever things tighten up financially and probably more awkward the first time in life in the middle of a planned project (bachelor's degree) that has high costs.
Maybe you're lucky and skilled enough that you're at Pratt, new school, NYU or ColumbiaBarnard, and eVENTuAlly various parts of the school, Student Counseling Services, Admission/Retention, Finanial Aid will craft a plan to get you to the finish line with less debt than you think may be necessary, but a resource like 7,000 grandparent dollars might be secret between just you and grandparent if you trust them to make arrangements to use it after graduation when you start paying of loans you can't defer.
Alas there's a lot to research/study now while you're not even taking classes you'll have to read up on what the web says about student retention at your school, financial aid hacks, and difficult choice about maybe a year off of coursework at a less expensive school but transfer back...or not.
When I was in NYC I never joined a local credit union there nor moved my money to any of the big banks, online banking and ATM were enough and I didn't have the thousands you've got saved. Moving that money might help you on your credit journey and snag you a hundred or few hundred dollars of incentive bonus... Search online for Forbes Bank Bonus page, bankRate monitor bonus etc, until you give your cash as payment of tuition you should be able to earn 5% APR on it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Youre beyond welcome! Just keep getting new ones and put one subscription svc a month on each and autopay- use for nothing else. Keep calling and asking them to double your limit- and never use anywhere close to that. Youll have better credit than your parents in like 2 years. The goal is to pay on time and never spend more than 30%of what they tell you you can.
I used to be all cash, then got divorced and had to refi the house in just my name. Now i have ~$100k available credit. Once youre there, anyone will let you borrow whatever you want.
My step-dad showed me the way, happy to pay it forward! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Smoking inside the house, and leaving cigarette butts outside, we’re likely in violation of your lease. This smell is very difficult to remove.
You are only fooling yourself if you want to pretend roommate only smoked outside. Gonna be difficult to fight those charges.
You had plumbing blockages, and those are typically the tenant responsibility unless there was an actual plumbing issues with the pipes, which doesn’t appear to be the case here based on the statement above.
She obviously gave you an itemized statement since you listed it here, so this is also irrelevant.
The other two remaining issues I’ll let someone else chime in who is more familiar with your state law. I imagine, there was a post date on the envelope, with your deposit check? What was that?
Did you take video or photos of the place when you moved out, to support your case? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
She needs to [provide receipts](https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/California-Tenants-Guide.pdf) for the supplies/materials and account for the hourly labor if wages were not included with the service (like painting).
I will say that getting cigarette smoke out of walls, carpet, and furniture is extremely difficult and usually expensive. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
She needs to provide receipts for the actual repairs, I would let your landlord know this. This should show exactly how the money is being spent on so called repairs | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Read your lease. Some landlords or property management companies take care of pest control. Some do not and it’s the tenants responsibility.
Either way, the landlord will probably somehow find a way to make you pay for it with extra fees if you go the exterminator route.
I highly recommend buying Dcon. Within a month our mice problem at our house was taken care of. We just always kept some Dcon out even when they were all dead just in case. Make sure if you have pets they can’t get to it or children.
Mouse traps are messy and way more inhumane than poison. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

At best, you could be considered a guest. Since you did not sign a formal lease agreement you are not a tenant.
Idk what you plan to pursue, you got back your rent money and you likely did not give a security deposit. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yeah that's not how that works. First, they already accepted payment, they can't just decide they didn't. Second, thy need to give a minimum of 30 days notice. Third, did you pay final month's rent when you moved in? Because that would add even more time. Worst case scenario, if they gave notice of non renewal right now you'd have until the end of next month. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Lmao. You gotta fucking leave.
What is your endgame, to try to find some legal protections to let you temporarily live in this place where you’re not welcome ?
You don’t have a lease. Do you think you’re gonna have a good time there while you were legally fighting them to try to stay they’re not going to write a new lease for you. Take the money back that they are offering and go find an actual rental. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You did sign a lease agreement to live in the home for a specific amount of time and pay rent for that agreed price? Do you have copy of that? As 18 year old landlords (if they own the house they are the landlords)) they can make what decision they want to. The fact you are asked to move in a few days is highly illegal unless you don't have an y lease signed and can not prove you had a right to the property for instance if you don't actually pay rent or have an agreement to do so | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You don't have a lease at the same time they weren't the legal owners or even agents for the owner so you are probably entitled to ALL your money back. Make it the father's problem to sue them. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It sounds like you know your rights. Use your 30 days to find a new place to live. That's what the law is for - to give you a reasonable time to find something. Alternately, ask for cash for keys. They give you your money back plus enough to keep you housed until you find a place. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
No lease, and probably an illegal sublet, no rights for you. Why don't you live with your parents? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It sounds like it was a pretty good deal for you. I’d focus more of my energy on finding a new place… you knew it was an unstable living situation from the beginning. Let this be a lesson for you to do things the right way going forward. Sign a lease! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Untrue as far as the lease. I once tried kicking out an abusive boyfriend who was NOT on my lease, and even the cops told me that because he had paid a bill (even though it wasn't in his name) I would need to give him 30 days notice to vacate. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It is highly dependent on many unknown factors: location, agreement (and what’s written in text messages and such), length of stay already, how payment was made and if it was documented as rent payment, and many other factors. And given that they are paying their friend, not the father who is the owner, that’s going to add a layer to this.
This could get very messy. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I don't think they're trying to stay considering they specifically state they are planning on leaving ASAP. They're probably more concerned about getting all their money back. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Cops are not lawyers. Just because they didn’t do anything doesn’t mean they can’t.
And if physically abusive, they should have focused on that part, which they likely could have done something about, whether or not on lease. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Absolutely untrue under every state law I have ever heard of. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Wrong, for cops cannot evict tenants that was renting in an illegal sublet room. And the cop told you nothing for they do not get into civil disputes. LOL! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
