When I lived in a basement apartment it had a dehumidifier. Definitely not ideal. It's a lot of power to be running 24/7 and they tend to be pretty loud. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Do you have to empty it, does it drain, or does it have a pump? A drain is the only way this likely makes sense.
Maybe it’s their a/c is only marginally adequate in a humid environment. If outside environment is not humid, a definite red flag. If it’s very humid out there, maybe just an idiosyncrasy that will be fixed one day.
Edit: let me explain. You can keep the place 3 degrees warmer maybe with a marginal a/c unit if you’re running a dehumidifier in a hot humid place. Say it’s 95 but feels like 110. You can run the a/c at 75, and it might feel like 72 with a dehumidifier as the dry air inside will more easily evaporate the sweat off of your skin. It might keep you from turning down the thermostat below 68 or so, if it already feels cold enough. More power used, less strain on the a/c unit. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I would say it’s not humid here nor did the apartment seem humid at all when i went, i know normally when places are humid it has that smell. I’m pretty sure there’s a drain, i really wish i would have asked more about it when i was there. That was quite informative i dont really know too much about these things. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Usually it’s there to fix a humidity problem first, and the mold comes secondarily if humidity isn’t addressed. So if it has a setting, like 45-55% humidity, it shouldn’t be running all that much. If it just runs all the time, then you have a humidity issue. It’s also not good for it to cycle on and off all the time as that’s hard on the dehumidifier and i think is more inefficient. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Yea this seems pretty concerning. I don’t even want to risk mold problems. The apartment did say it runs all the time and they expect that to continue, so i’m thinking you’re right and there’s some kind of undisclosed issue potentially. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

the ceiling has been water logged and water drips out every time i shower/bathe.
it seems to be progressively getting worse, but the landlord hasn’t done anything for a couple months.

That NEEDS to be addressed now. Especially if it’s dripping when you shower | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Those look like asbestos tiles that have been encapsulated and now damaged. I would consider moving stuff out of the house into storage that you care about now, and probably plan on moving out completely during repairs.
I hope you have renters insurance, as you may be engaging it soon to replace items that were exposed to Asbestos fibers, clothes, furniture, bedding, etc, if the ceiling tiles actually falls down. Also may be engaging them to pay for housing during repair, or relocation costs in general. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
i don’t have renters insurance. it’s a short sublease. i’ll move out asap, and probably file a complaint | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Report your slumlord to the local authorities. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Also, get renters insurance. It’s like $20 a month in most cases. Covers items getting stolen from you car, and storage unit too.
Right now you’re not at claim status, but if the landlord doesn’t act you will be. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

We moved into our new apartment exactly a week ago today. We are on the top floor. Since day one, there was a foul, sour-ish smell coming from the bathroom. Honestly it kind of smelled a bit like decay. Now, it has gotten so bad that it has been causing smell in the living room. It is so unbearable that I cannot be in the bathroom. Today, it smells like rotten eggs, farts, raw sewage, or decay. Before anyone suggests it, I have already personally deep cleaned the bathroom and deodorized it with distilled white vinegar. We sent in an email last week and another work order. They don’t seem to be too eager to come in and help. Does anyone know what this is or how we can fix it?
Praying that maintenance comes and saves us tomorrow. We will see. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
The wax collar under the toilet is likely the culprit with sewer air leaking out. You should ask the landlord to change the seal. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
my boyfriend and i got a place together it seemed too good to be true. when we got it. well a few months in. we seem to be right. first red flag was during the viewing they were very adamant on how nervous they were to be renting for the first time especially to first time home renters like us. well. about a month into us living here i turn on the BRAND new AC unit for the FIRST time, and after a day i was like “okay it’s getting super hot in here” (it was a heat wave and the outside temp was 98°) so i turned the ac unit down to 68° from the 70° it was originally set too when i turned the unit on for the first time. well a few hours pass and it’s just getting hotter and hotter so i text my landlord to let her know. well ill just shorten the absolute novel i got in response from her husband but they blamed me because it was an ice block. i felt terrible of course because i actually thought it was my fault and i did something wrong. they called the AC guy out he came and knocked on the door when it was done and let me know that there was no freon put in the unit when they installed it. and i said “oh so it wasn’t my fault?” he said “it’s impossible to go through that much freon you could’ve had it on every day you lived here and wouldn’t have gone through that much it just wasn’t filled, so no, it wasn’t”. my landlords then proceeded to get mad at me AGAIN because it froze? like you guys got the bill and know it needed to be filled with freon. how is that my fault after it was turned on for less than 24 hours and it not working once and me notifying them as soon as i noticed? (somehow that’s my fault and im to know that the brand new AC unit that i told was in perfect condition and ready to be used had no freon??) and another thing. my landlords show up to my house whenever they feel day or night without notice, they bitched because there was garbage on the lawn (it was garbage day and we live on a main road with a very high homeless population in the area), not exactly my fault but hey whatever. i normally pick it up but i was in a rush and needed to leave. im honestly just wondering how people would go about getting out of the lease? should i contact her and ask if she would feel more comfortable if we left her home? i just don’t know what to do anymore. thanks in advance. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

The downspouts are probably clogged causing the water to overflow the gutters. Your landlord is allowing more damage to be done by not addressing this. In the winter ice dams will form and damage the roof. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Roofing tiles are too far forward. I cut mine back and that stopped and water drained correctly | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I’ve checked the downspouts and the water runs through great. The issue is (and I’ve explained this to my LL and he refuses to listen) that the pitch of the gutters is off causing the water to pool towards my front door. That’s my concern is that ice will form & not only damage the roof but also cause ice on the steps below and either myself or someone else is going to slip and fall. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

That’s my concern is that ice will form & not only damage the roof but also cause ice on the steps below and either myself or someone else is going to slip and fall. I have renter’s insurance thankfully, but god forbid the mailman or one my family members walk up the steps and slips on a sheet of ice. I don’t want to be liable for that. And I’ve asked him several times over the last 4-5 years to fix them and every “fix” he’s come up with has done nothing. At a certain point someone should come to their senses and call a professional to fix the problem if after you do it yourself several times and it still continues. I would call someone to fix the gutters but A. It’s not my house & B. I don’t have that type of money to replace the gutters. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I also did adjust the angle on all the supports after I did do the cut back. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I had this problem and installed a new downspout in the low area.. less than 100 bucks in materials and 2 hours (would've been faster but it was pouring rain obviously) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
The problem with that is that then I would have no gutters at all. My LL already said that he’s not replacing the gutters as it’s too much money he says. I want to ask him “then what am I paying you for?” | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
This is what I told them to do and still hasn’t been done. I don’t think it would work though as this is literally right in front of my front door so wherever they put the downspout it’s going to have a little bit of a problem. What they need to do is have someone professional come out and pitch the gutters correctly so that they don’t dip to one side. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Yeah ideally that's the proper way to fix it.. but I don't want to rock the boat with my landlord as we have a good relationship and a fair price. So I do minor stuff around the house without bugging them..
Mine was over the front door too, the new downspout is about 4 feet from the lowest corner. If it was my house I'd at least push it closer to where it needs to be and put some screws in but I'm not *that* nice. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Oversized downspout (the larger of the two sizes at most big box stores) would help, or diverter (slides into shingles above and angles more water away from particular area) + pitch can be tweak by bracket tightening (tend to loosen over time as wood they're affixed to softens & slope goes from solid to almost non-existent) — but luckily you're renting. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Sounds like either you’re going to fix it yourself, pay someone to do it for you, deal with it or move. The question is what are you going to decide | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
INFO: Based on your post and comments, you’ve clearly explained the issue and the way to fix it. Obviously this (idiot) guy sees this as some nuisance he doesn’t want to deal with 🙄
My question is – In how much detail have you explained the **cost** of damages he is and could incur? Roof damage, floor damage, freezing and thawing, home owners insurance claims and premium increases
Not that you should have to! I’m just thinking along similar lines as a work issue, where the boss keeps ignoring a work problem until they see how it hurts them (because they don’t care about it hurting you) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
The best option would be to control the overflow. I know you're renting and won't want to put out much money, but that is a safety slip hazard on your walkway. Research rain chains on youtube. You can use one to take the worst of it away towards where you want it to go. You can also make one yourself with a hook and normal chain.

"Accidentally" rip a gutter down and say it fell during the storm. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Don’t go chasing waterfalls | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Your renters insurance won’t cover a slip and fall like that. It’ll be determined that it’s negligence on the LL’s side since you told them multiple times and they’ll be held financially responsible. Just make sure you document you telling them for your safety. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
The gutters might also be clogged/full of leaves/branches etc. That's why gutters need to be cleaned every once in awhile.
Sorry if you already know that.:) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Does your locality have some kind of oversight for rentals? Functioning downspouts are a requirement of rentals where I live, and I live in a podunk town with pretty lax laws generally. I could have an inspector out to make my landlord fix downspouts. You should look into that. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
If they are clogged the gutters will become too heavy with ice in the winter and rip away and the downspouts will expand and burst… this would be the minimum…. Worse would be water getting under the wood(looks like it already is by the green growing on it).
I’m a LL in NY and send people out to address these issues immediately since clearing a gutter is cheaper than replacing and repairing trim and gutters. This is basic maintenance and most Gardners will clear this when they clean out the leaves. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

One of my roommates ran an Ethernet cable along the walls of our apartment and taped it up with duct tape. We’re moving out end of next week, and we need to figure out how to remove the leftover adhesive. Thanks in advance | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I rent a home in NY & recently my drains have been giving me problems again. I made a post here back in like January. Since then I’ve resolved the issue, however the issue has come back & this time nothing I’ve done is working. I ended up calling a plumber & what he told me was that the mainline drain is sagging in one area causing clogs & my kitchen sink and dishwasher to back up into my tub & preventing my tub from fully draining. They recommended replacing all the drainage pipes so that the issue wouldn’t occur again. They confirmed that the problem isn’t due to my negligence and actually wrote that down on the receipt along with an explanation of the issue. My
LL is really cheap so he refused to use the plumber & has opted to try and do the work that needs to be done himself (he’s coming tomorrow). He’s so cheap that he won’t even pay the service fee that they charged - I ended up paying for it. We’ll see what he does when he comes out tomorrow, but for a so-called “handyman” he’s sure screwed up a lot of the work he’s done with the house. My question is, what type of legal recourse - if any do I have here & should I stop paying rent until the issue gets resolved? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
You likely have no recourse to recover the fee for the plumber from your landlord, since it was your choice to call that plumber. The only exception to that would be if there’s a local right to resolve it yourself if the landlord doesn’t fix it. Speak with a tenants rights group in your area. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I disagree with this sentiment. If you have documentation regarding the issue and the LL failure to address, then you may have a case. Depends on the time you provided and that reasonable time was provided to the LL to make it right. So if you have documentation that goes back months, this could be in the form of text messages, a formal letter and/or email. Depending on how bad the plumbing is could even result in the unit being shutdown until those repairs are made.
As for your question about withholding rent, check local and state regulations. In most circumstances you must provide proof that you have the funds available to pay the LL once the repairs are made. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Is there any harm or potential repercussions, aside from a fee, if I request another set of keys?
Context:
Nothing is outlined in my lease regarding keys, and I wasn’t asked how many keys I needed/wanted upon move-in.
I have attempted to get my keys copied at 3 different places including a self-serve kiosk. No problems copying my unit key. The one to the building front door is a high security key and isn’t replicable anywhere I’ve been.
I have been living under the same management company for over 3 years. I technically live on my own (my SO stays overnight about once a week) and am the only person on the lease. Whenever I’m out of town, I’ve given my keys to a trusted friend to watch over my cat. This time, there are challenges in my schedule that make getting a 2nd set of keys way simpler. Plus, I think it’s wise to let a friend or family member have a spare set in case of an emergency. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Standard answer: Ask. Your. Landlord.
There are almost never "repercussions" to basic inquiries. I really don't know why people think so. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
You should definitely ask the LL for a second key and just mention that you are willing to pay for it. Usually they have to go through the mgmt company to get it and could cost 25-50 bucks depending where and type. But reach out via text and email for record keeping and the worse they can do is say no. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
If it's a "high security" key a proper locksmith can copy it but you'll likely have to go through your landlord anyways since keys of that type are usually restricted and the locksmith would require the building owners permission to copy it. Go ask your landlord. Worst they can say is no. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I am looking to rent for the first time (Florida). The landlord of a single family home I’m looking to rent says that only 1 person can sign the lease and that they would be responsible for the other tenants. Everything I’ve seen says that all tenants must sign for the lease to be valid. Is there something I don’t know about or is he being sneaky? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Property manager, CA. It sounds like they want you to be the leaseholder and any co-tenants to be additional occupants. This is an issue because it makes you primarily responsible for all rent and damages. Assuming it's a share rental, the LL should either have individual rental agreements for each room, or have all occupants listed equally on one lease. I would be very skeptical of this situation. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
i just read over the draft lease and it looks fine to me. would you be willing to look at it if i message you? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I'm gonna be renting out my first apartment, and the process of even transferring the security deposit + first month's rent has been a nightmare. It's an apartment out of my state, I don't have a car, I have a pet, I'm moving out secretly so I can't easily visit in person to get this sorted out. The nightmare part is from my bank freezing all of my attempts to transfer the money on the grounds of 'suspected fraud', the transfer has been delayed by 3 days already and if there's no more fucking unexpected delays I'll be transferring the money tomorrow. I've explained everything to the landlord so far, but I'm so scared he'll think that all this delay is a sign I'm a troublesome tenant, decide to not rent to me, and ultimately this will have all been pointless and I'll have to jump through hoops and wait more for an apartment that's reasonably priced, lets dogs in, and not in the middle of nowhere. I'm trying really hard to not spiral downwards into self-sabotage (which I had to fight to even start this process in the first place) but the more and more I think about what might happen next the less good things I can see. Fuck. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Ask your landlord if you can give them a cashiers check for the deposit and rent. If you explain the situation to them they might be willing to wait for the payment. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I've been giving him updates on what's been going on throughout this whole thing, and he's been fairly accommodating \*so far\*, but I am still worried about another unexpected curve ball being the thing that breaks the camel's back. If another ones comes tomorrow I'll probably end up doing that. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Out of state plus having no one actually able to view the place is pretty risky. It’s possible the bank is trying to protect you from a scam. I hope you have reached as much as you can about the property and owner to ensure it’s legit | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I've done some digging and the owner is an actual person who is actually associated with the email and phone number he gave me, and is associated with the property. I get that doing this is a risk, but there is nothing in my own city that's affordable. My other option was Memphis, which is dangerous, and even then I'd still be struggling with my lack of credit history and no cosigners. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I need some advice on how to handle a moving company that broke my murphy bed while switching apartments.
I hired a moving company on Thumbtack to help move a murphy bed/couch combination to my new apartment (pics for reference). The company said they were insured and had moving licenses, but turns out, they never applied for a certificate of insurance. During the move, they were unable to correctly disengage the hydraulic mechanism that opens/closes the bed. One of the side shelves ended up crashing to the floor and chipping, and one of the hydraulic arms bent/had the head snap off of it. Luckily, no one was hurt, but it basically makes the whole unit unusable.
They promised to fix the issues to get the bed into a usable condition again, but that they didn't trust themselves on the install and I would need to hire an installer to put the bed in once fixed., They moved the undamaged pieces into my new place (where it's been unassembled for about 3 weeks now). Now, the shelving units have apparently been replaced, but they're unable to find the hydraulic piston to complete the unit.
Now I'm stuck with how to proceed. The moving company has offered to pay for the hydraulic part if I can find an installer that can get the correct piece. However, I am hesitant to say yes to anything at this point because I'm afraid that I'm just going to have a big pile of scrap wood if that person can't get the part either. At this point, since they haven't been able to actually find the hydraulic part, I've asked them to simply file an insurance claim and replace the bed (which is how I found out they didn't have a certificate of insurance).
I'm at a loss for what to do next. They're insisting that they're going to dump me with the fixed shelves, while leaving it up to me to find the hydraulic part. My wife is THOROUGHLY against accepting the shelves and having to store them in our unusable guest room while it gets sorted out.
Reddit - what would you do if you were in my shoes?
TL;DR - Moving company damaged my murphy bed while moving it, hasn't been able to find the parts to fix it, and is now telling me to invoice the part when I find someone that can find the part. Not sure what to do now | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Hello so I 23 (M) moved into a sketchy area in Buffalo NY. Rent is $600/mo everything included +furnished. It is a 3bed apt and I have 3 other roomates. Two which are a couple 21 F and 20 M that share a room and the other a 22 F. I actually went to high school with these people and we kind of reconnected during college/post grad but after recent events it’s pretty apparent that they do not like my presence and it’s been creating uncomfortable situations. I have not fully moved in yet or even finished building my furniture- technically only 11 months in the lease left but something in my soul is telling me to run and find a home where I’d be wanted/welcomed rather than put up with the childish antics.
Back story aside- it is a one year lease and the owner of the house lives in NYC and graduated from the same college as me. The property itself is poorly maintained and the most the property manager has done was splash some paint. I’d imagine as long as he’s getting paid I would be able to work out a sublet. It’s a 3bed-1bath close to a college so I think it would work out. The only issue is where I would be going after and how I would go about logistics when it comes to leaving the former roommates with someone | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

Due to a plethora of issues, it is absolutely imperative my girlfriend and I leave where we're living asap. We live in Ohio and we're about 6 months into a year long lease. The landlord would lose no money, given there's 3 other people living here who would still be covering rent. We just need our two names off the lease. I need to know my options, if I even have any. I'm sincerely hoping there's a way out of this. Thank you ahead of time to anybody who helps. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Look at your lease and see if this situation is addressed. Reach out to your LL and ask about options. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Is this a single lease between the landlord and all the tenants? If so, your landlord and your roommates would most likely have to all agree to release you from your lease. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

Look at your lease but I’m pretty sure you have to give them 30 days notice in writing that you’re leaving, you’d give a copy to your roommates and your landlord. Unless you’re not actually on the lease, then it would be decent of you to give your roommates two weeks written notice and clean your living area as best as you can before you leave. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Does your lease have a provision addressing this situation where a tenant wishes to leave while the others remain? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I don't believe it does. I'm re-reading now to double check, but the only thing I've found is a note about early termination and a fee associated with that. Nothing about individual people being removed. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Unfortunately our names are actually on the lease. We would most definitely give a notice, but surely there's some kind of catch with that. I can't imagine we give a 30 day notice and the landlord let's it go that easy. I'm a first time renter, this is all very new to me. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Then most likely all parties (the landlord, vacating tenants and remaining tenants) would all have to agree to release you from the obligations of the lease. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Okay, I guess the next step is talking about it with everyone. I sincerely appreciate your help. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Good luck to you. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
You only have to give 30 days notice, and your landlord literally can’t do crap about it. Make sure you have a place ready to move in to that isn’t going to fall thru the cracks leaving you stranded. They can’t force you to stay, and they can’t demand the other 6 months rent out of you with everyone else staying.
But yes you have to give both landlord And roommates written and signed 30 days notice of you leaving. That gives the roommates and/or landlord plenty of time to find a new tenant to take your place if need be. But even then, that’s their issue, not yours. No one can legally force you to stay there. Especially with written notice. Any less than 30 days though is seen as “inappropriate” | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-07-08 |

Plumber is probably a safer bet, but anyone on my maintenance team could probably have dealt with it. This 100% does not apply to everyone, though. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Handyman. Sounds like there's no caulk seal and decades of piss has pooled under the toilet. Gonna need a new wax seal after it's pulled and cleaned up. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
So I put in my notice of non-renewal today, with about 37 days until the end of my lease. Unfortunately, after double checking, I realized they actually ask for 90 days notice. But what’s confusing me is that the lease doesn’t explicitly state any kind of fee or penalty for failing to give that 90 day notice. I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’m freaking out that I’ll owe money even though I’ve already signed my lease for my next apartment. Should I be worried? Would it be something I could threaten to take to court if they tried charging me considering it doesn’t state a penalty in the lease? They’ve been pretty chill about stuff in the past (waived a late fee because I misunderstood the language of the dates) so maybe they won’t even cared but I’m so paranoid and can’t stop worrying! | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
The "penalty" is that you will owe rent for the 90 day period. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
So I live in a 473 square-foot one bedroom apartment. I went up to the apartment office-my complex is owned by a giant property management company—but apparently….they couldn’t add my just-married-wife to the lease because of the apartment size? It wasn’t physically doable on the website. And yes, I’m the only occupant as of right now. I’ve vaguely read on tenant rights PA websites that I’m allowed two tenants per bedroom, but what are my options? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Hi everyone,
Currently renting a room in a 3 bed flat. I (24f) didn’t know the girls (26, 29f) (one who has been there about 2.5 years and the other 1) before moving in, and I was quite disillusioned with their behaviour, they are very dirty and messy and they stay up until 2/3 in the morning on weekdays. They’ve also made me feel rather uncomfortable in other ways. So I’ve had to move out for my own mental (and physical health)
I’ve found somewhere new to live, signed & paid deposit and can move there on the 11th of August.
Here’s the tough part: I told them just over a week ago that I need to move out. They didn’t want to start showing the room to potential replacements as one of the girls is away until the 19th of August and wouldn’t be able to meet in person (which they insisted on) and they got quite shirty so I just left it.
Our lease is due to renew on the 27th August. I don’t want to sign to renew, as i won’t be living there. The girls need me to renew, as the estate agent stated yesterday that a new tenant needs to be in place by the 28th July (this Sunday) leaving them not much time to find a flatmate.
I sort of panicked and agreed with the girls to renew (but haven’t signed yet) but now realising that it would be very irresponsible of me as they may not find a suitable replacement and I would be liable to pay rent in two places.
Does anyone have any advice on how to manoeuvre this situation? It’s obviously very anxiety inducing for everyone involved and even though I owe nothing to these girls and don’t have any sort of friendship with them I still don’t want to out them in a bad spot. That being said, all my friends and family are advising against helping them and are saying they are manipulating me and bullying me into signing.
I’m also worried about losing my deposit as the way they have treated the flat prior to my moving in was not the best. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Move all your shit out while they’re not home and then ghost them before you sign anything.
It’s either that or learn how to stand up for yourself | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
So i moved about 5 minutes away to a new house and prior to moving I discussed with the realtor that I loved the house, but needed parking on site vs. street for safety as a single woman. To my surprise the landlord agreed to rearrange their gate and push it back since it used to be a driveway. Me moving was contingent on having parking. Well my move in date came July 15 (so I'd have two weeks overlap with my old place) and my car did not fit in the space. They said they'd hire someone to widen the space, which they did today, but my car did not fit - I drove in and got stuck for about 45 minutes which was anxiety inducing and my car couldn't open. It was such a squeeze that my black car was scraped and it left marks all along the entry way. I asked them to talk but curious my rights here?
I told them my kind of car pre-moving in and I wasn't able to test the driveway pre move since it was finished today and also there's a few other issues like windows missing key pieces / walls are damaged inside etc and I'm the first person to move in after a remodel and just seems like a lot of issues.
I sent them a text today about the predicament + the realtor, but feel like i need to look for somewhere else for Aug 1 or sooner (super important since I have cats!) and feel justified in not living here if there's no parking. I've already spent $1,000+ on moving my things, hanging paintings and new furniture finds but thankfully most things are still in boxes
I have a normal mid sized suv, my car would not open at all to even let me out + I was stuck | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
How were you stuck, you couldn't just back out of the spot? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
