The joys of being a renter in this market!

LMAO that was the funniest story I read ina while my wife was even laughing. I wouldnt show that place at all. Wow some people have some nerve you know they will (or have) kept collecting rent as they stopped paying for the place.

“I see stupid people” was the best bumper sticker I have seen ina while.[/quote]

I’ve known some tenants who say

“You can show the place but I want Half rent.”

I’ve known some tenants who particularly mess it up during this process, the landlord has a “Right of inspection” which they sometimes use to bring a prospective buyer through, but that doesn’t mean you have to clean up.

Leave some drug paraphanalia around , that usually scares off buyers.

You can learn from my story, tell them your husband is a nudist, refuses to wear clothes and likes to rub up against visitors (make up a syndrome name), that if they break the lease you can convince him to look for other rentals during the time of the open houses.[/quote]

it’s called Frottage.

Wow. Some LLs have a lot of nerve.

We have some friends who went through the exact same thing. They tried to be the good guys by allowing the LL to set all the terms but ended up living in a very stressful situation for months, and the LL actually got an attitude whenever they asked him to work with their (the renter’s) schedule. After all was said and done, I don’t think they benefitted at all from being cooperative with their loser landlord (stuck flipper/realtor, BTW).

Here’s what I would recommend:

1. Inform your LL in writing that you will not allow the house to be shown until 30 days before your lease expires.

2. In this same letter, state that if the LL wants to negotiate terms, you might be willing to work with them, and ask for (demand!) the following:

-25% off rent (or more)
-showings only during certain days and hours (your discretion!)
-Bi-monthly cleaning service, as you will not perform any extra cleaning services so that they can sell the house.

——————–

Explain to them that their financial mismanagement has caused you severe stress, and that you are very disappointed that they didn’t disclose their financial circumstances when you signed the lease, as you would not have rented from them if you had known they would be inconveniencing you with a sale during your tennancy.

Plese let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

(BTW, very funny story, TG!) 🙂
