akbarpunjabi: “This topic is insane! Did you not begin posting here a few weeks ago and admit that you have not been paying the rent for the past few months and also that you couldnt even afford to pay the rent you owed because you spent it all and have no savings or job or child support or alimony or whatever.”
This is incorrect and besides the point. I am paying my rent. I do have a job, just not in my field yet and I do receive alimony and child support even though my ex tried to get it lowered.
I did stop paying him for a few months, but we have set up a payment arrangement. Don’t act like the owner isn’t responsible for that, he let his home go into foreclosure without telling me. I was harassed for months by phone calls from his mother demanding I send HER the money instead. That alone is worth me withholding rent.
But, again we have payment arrangements in place; before that I paid my rent on time for over 2 years, therefore it’s a non-issue in terms of his responsibility to make sure the dwelling I am renting is pest-free.
