Eggs Not Hatching

Ha ha I know what you mean bug. We've had several "noise" complants, about dropping dishes (OK now that one I have a medical problem), But you can't help dropping things can you? We've had so many complaints against us that supposedly 3 people are going to move out if nothing is done. After all my work trying to keep us to stay here. I was wrong, all the loop holes I found. Nope. it's all "perfectly legal".

But then again our roommate isn't the brightest either. We tell him we're getting evicted and he turns around and throws a party that night. a week later another party, but louder. Then we get a noise complaint and a maintenance person knocks on our door about a noise complaint, and the Rental office said their not allowed to knock on our doors.

So know me and my B/F have decided to move out and draft off several letters to the Rental office (they have this thing we're they'll only reply to complaints in letter form {Can we say BS}) to try and get the people making the noise complaints kicked out themselves.

Can we say Evil :grin01:
 
I think that most people learn the hard way about moving in with their "best friend", thank god mine was only a close friend, but its better when you don't really know them so it doesn't hurt your feelings when you find out you really hate them lol.

I would look into your state laws. Writing into a contract that the landlord can come and go as he/she pleases voids the contract. This is a common state law.

But in retrospect, just because the landlord said the contract didn't change doesn't mean you shouldn't read it. It is a personal obligation to read over all paper work before committing yourself to it.

My company has non-cancelable (for the term of the lease) commercial contracts and you wouldn't believe how many people we have calling up, saying they didn't know it was non-concealable. (though any sane person wouldn't miss it).

I would chalk it up to experience and find a place that allows animals so you wont be bothered.
 
Yeah... my next room mates will be.... snakes! And my cats and ferret of course hehe... but lots and LOTS of snakes!!!
 
Yeah basically I know that I should of paid better attention to the lease in the beginning and therefore not seeing that is my fault. But Its very difficult to understand because when I moved in I moved in under the intention that pets WERE allowed, I do have a dog that the landlord knows about and has provided me with a written agreement stating that she is allowed. Apparently snakes are more destructive than the dog??? Also the landlords have seen the snakes on several occassions and have never commented before, this time they are only concerned because my roomate called them complaining and she has resigned a lease with them and well I definately did not. Also I already have a place lined up for once Im out of this lease! And it states that all pets are allowed as long as they are house pets/non agressive or a endagerment to other tennents and as long as you pay a pet fee (Security Deposit) and that there combined weight is not over 50lbs. I guess you could have like 10 toy poodles if u wanted! Till then I will be counting down the days till I get to move!!!

As for room mates... yeah.... yuck. I lived with one of my BFs and he turned out to be an @$$, kept me locked in the appartment all the time.. then the landlord heard we were moving ($3000 a month for oil is just stupid!) and ran in with a loaded shotgun!! Had the cops there for 15 hours while we moved out ~,~ Got the new place and I kicked my BF's lazy butt to the curb! (Having a 7'1" tall 350 lb friend back you up is wonderful hehe)

Gin that is awful! And something similar happened to me, including the cop scenario. Hmm, no wonder I opted to use my spare room for the critters even though I could rent it out and not be as broke.

Bug I hope you will be out of that place soon, it really sounds like both the landlord and roomie are horrible people.

Absolute best roommates! (IMHO).

I've had terrible roommates, it really sucks and all you can do is think about that count down until you get to move out. I hated it. Actually the only person I have ever lived with with out a problem is my husband lol. (Even then, you have to make sure you both have your own room lol).

In my experience the people who moved in with complete strangers had less roommate problems than people who moved in with their bf's. go figure.
:flames: :grin01:

and if your lease doesnt say no pets they shouldnt fine you. and that no pets thing only applies to thing not held in a tank i think. because they cant stop you from having a fish so why a snake.

That is very much untrue. No pets means NO PETS. That applies to dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents and fish.

Their is an addendum for my tenants that lists what pets they have. It is clearly stated in the lease that no pets are permitted in the apartment unless on that addendum. I also absolutely do not accept dogs or cats.

My current tenant has a Ball Python. :)
 
I agree with Blckkat, it sucks but if you ask the landlord (or rental company) about certain pets they will break down the rules for you. Most places wont let you have a waterbed much less an aquarium.

I do think caged animals are a little bit different story but rodents can smell to high heaven.
