What would you do if your land lady told you to leave her apartment?
I met a someone (landlady) who offered me one bedspace rent that will be vacant in less than a week becoz one tenant decided to leave that room for a certain reason (his name is Michael). I accepted the offer coz i badly need it. The room will be shared by 4 people including me. One of them is currently on vacation & will be back next month & his bed is empty. So the landlady told me that i can use his space to put my stuff temporarily untill Michael leaves the room. So that's what i did. I took all my stuff and leave it there. The next day, i got a message from the land lady that there is a problem. Michael is not leaving anymore. He change his mind & decided to stay. She told me to take back all my stuff & find somewhere else. I got soooo ANGRY.. never been this angry before. The landlady & i had a very huge fight. I insist to let me stay instead of Michael bec. i have the more right now. The landlady disagree telling me that this guy is one of her friends.
This is so unfair to me, moving all your stuff is not easy.. they wasted my time.
My question is, who has more right in that room? is it me or Michael? Is her decission fair? Please post your comments..
My friend, just leave that place for your good health and peace of mind. Find a better place than that and say bye to that crap. She's not worthy to talk also. Good luck!!!!!!!!.
Thank u for your comments.
I forgot to mention that i havent paid her yet & I left the next day.
Thank you..
What ever the Landlady did is wrong. She should have confirmed with Michael that he will leave the room before she offered it to you. Once you have agreed and already moved your belongings she should not agree with Michael even if he is her friend to stay there. If she want ot keep her friend and kick you out ask her to compensate you for your expenses and problems occurred due to her.
I make it very simple here. Just reimburse your expenses and go out. It might not seem convenient for you in the present but in the long run it is worth avoid troubles.
Bro, pack your things and leave it's not worth the effort.
fair or not fair, her name is landlady, and your name is tenant. so when she says scram, pack your bags, and out you go, bro.
First your landlady, should have a made a clear agreement with Michael before letting you move in. You have right to stay especially if you paid already. Also, she should have not let you stayed in the bed of the guy in vacation because I'm sure he is still paid to her and secondly you have a right to your own bed.
Eventhough they are friends, she does not have the right to displace you like that, since you had an agreement. Personally I would take all my rent back and not pay her for my stay. Why? Because of the inconvinience. I'm sure you spent some money already moving to their place.
You would have more right in my opinion, but suggest you just take your things and leave their company. You wouldnt want to stay in a flat wherein you already had disagreements with the people there more specifically your landlady. Your accomodation should be where you can rest and have some peace of mind and having to think of the landlady will not give you that.
Hope you find a better place to stay in.
Legally, the one who was there first has the first right. Also, the one who has posession has the first right. I believe your landlady is correct. Also, she can decide which tenant to keep and which one to loose. My suggestion is not to pursue the issue.
That landlady is wrong by taking in another tenant without the assurance that the space will be vacated and available for you. She should not have told you in the first place to move your things, and then later on change her mind when the other tenant also did not leave. You should reimburse all the deposit you had paid, and insist to her that she must shoulder the expenses of returning your things back to your old place.
I suggest that you do not insist on staying there anymore, given the character of the landlady. You two will end up fighting on a regular basis.
Do not argue with her anymore because she will only waste more of your time and effort.
