Landlords Suck

[BKKG]

So I was supposed to work today at 10, which meant that I had to catch a bus around 9. So I got up around 8, and there was a message on my phone from my landlord's sister, saying that he was going to come to my apartment sometime after 10, to do a quick final inspection so the last tenant can get her security deposit back. This is ridiculous, because his sister already did an inspection before I moved in and noted everything down, but he's still coming. Worse, all of my dealings have been with the sister, so I have no immediate way of contacting the landlord himself.

This is a problem because I'm watching my ex-roommate's cat, which I'm not supposed to have, and I've also got a grow going. So to be absolutely safe, I had to take my poor flowering plants and move them down to my storage area in the basement, where they're getting one sad light bulb's worth of light until after my landlord's visit. I had to call into work to switch my shift so that I had time to move all the incriminating stuff away, as well as have time to move it back.

I've lived here for a month already, why does my landlord insist on showing up like this?

Bummer dude, i think you need to atleast have a 24 hour notice, and they still can come in w/o you there?


seems fishy.

[BKKG]

Yeah, it's technically illegal without a minimum of 24 hours notice, but if I make a big fuss about it, his visit is going to be a hell of a lot more thorough when it happens. So I'm just staying quiet for today, and as soon as he's left I'll bring my babies back up.

I think I can get away with the cat by saying that I'm just watching him for the day while my old roommate moves into her new apartment, to keep him out of the way. He's been here as long as I have, but there's no way the landlord will be able to tell that.


I was going to wait a little longer to make a proper stealth grow cabinet, but I'm not waiting any more after this. With the new one I've designed, it would be no problem. Now I just need the cash to build it

yah, i lived in my own apartment for the last school year and man landlords suck. everytime we made a bit of noise he would come over and spazz. and he would always come in
(even when i was sleeping, ffs) to "inspect" random shit at random-ass times. it was sooo annoying knowing someone had authority to do this at any time really. i was also growing a plant at the time in the closet, but i didn't care much cuz the landlord smoked weed too !
i just tried to avoid him most of the time, he looked like a mongloid anyways,, the weed must have got to him, lol

[BKKG]

12:30 and he's still not here... I have to leave by 1:10 at the latest to get to work on time, and I have no way to stop him from coming in if I'm not here!

[ayysee]

i feel you man, i had 6 beautiful females in the first week of flowering when my landlord told us they would be giving random tours for the next month and i lost my whole crop. I started another one after the tour bullshit was over then when i had plants a few weeks into veg. they were randomly checking apt.s for repairs. such bullshit 2 good crops down the drain

[ipack]

It could always be worse, you could live in the same house as your landlord, granted i have my own entrance, own lock and key on door and own kitchen in the basement.. but yeah it's actually pretty chill.. she doesn't care about weed

[Phenominal One]

change the locks after his bs if he finds out which he shouldnt unless hes shady, that you lost yur keys so you replaced the locks.

So it's 7:02 here, and I just got back from work. As I stepped off the bus, I got a phone call from my landlord's sister (the building manager), who chewed me out for not having a rug under my chair and for having a cat in the apartment (even for one day! It's not true, but that's what I told her so that's what she thinks she knows).

And somehow the lamp in my storage unit went out while I was at work, so instead of my two babies surviving off of a single 23 watt CFL, they were in the dark for a good six hours. But as soon as I got back in I moved everything back into my apartment, including putting the venting back on my box. I finished about two minutes before 7, which is lights out time, so their schedule wasn't disrupted any more than it had to be.

On a positive note though, one of my plants is starting to develop a cola!

P.S. Thanks for the words of support, everyone, I needed them today.

And if I hear that anyone is coming to my apartment without proper notice again, I'm not even going to try to be nice; they'll find out that I'm actually pretty well versed in property rental law.

Good for you! Don't take shit from people who think they have the authority.

My landlord is pretty nice. I hardly ever see them and they only come in when asked.
