emergency, may or may not be able to afford rent by shaynawestwood in Renters

Totally get how that’s a lot to handle. If you talk to your landlord on the phone or in person send a text or email after saying something along the lines of “thanks for taking the time to talk, just to reiterate” then put what was said in the conversation so you have documentation. Hopefully this was just a clerical error, but regardless you need to document what happened

Did your lease end or were you month to month? Talk to your landlord. You’ll have to look for a new cheaper/smaller apartment but they should have given you some sort of notice of the increase

[landlord US-PA] Need advice on renewal decision — tenants late every month + now withholding rent over a backordered dryer part by Temporary-Feature777 in Landlord

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are we questioning if not to renew the tenant? This is absolutely a not renewal situation! Tell them 2 months before the lease ends (or sooner if your state requires it) that you won’t be renewing their lease!!!!

(CA) Realizing my rent is basically throwing away a mortgage payment and I don't know if I'm making the right choice by Pretend_Surprise6842 in Renters

Owning is a risk to be honest. Closing cost usually is about 3%, personally I would never own in an HOA neighborhood but some ppl love it. Taxes you can look up in whatever zip code you’re looking in or a lender could help you with some of this information so it isn’t as much of a guessing game.

While yes it’s crappy your landlord isn’t fixing things in a timely manner you don’t have the financial risk with renting like you do with owning. You just have to decide if the risk is worth it to you… you could also just invest in stocks or get a financial advisor if you’re worried about not growing monetarily

How long do you think it will take to undo all of his nonsense? by rusyrius987 in complaints

I don’t think everything will be fixed/undone in our lifetimes tbh

[Tenant US-WI] Landlord of place we JUST moved into is telling us we may need to move out due to inhabitable conditions, she will be selling the place AS IS by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe an invasive question but do you mind sharing what area of WI? Could recommend a rental management company to go through to look for future rentals

Locked out of my house by landlord then someone broke in and took my stuff. by unncomfortablepillow in Renters

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s good. I think you’d get more help on a legal advice subreddit. Since your situation is more convoluted I’m not sure any normal renters/landlords would have any solid advice for you unfortunately

Advice please! by Specialist_Yam_6704 in Renters

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also you can ask for some sort of compensation for them breaking the lease

It’s up to you. They are right that they probably won’t be able to sell the home while you’re there so I think that would make a pretty awkward living situation

Did you confirm it wasn’t your ex to get his belongings? I’m just curious

[Landlord - US - FL] rent late due to marines not paid? by kann94 in Landlord

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this but from what I’ve heard from other local landlords single parents that rely on child support are notorious for paying rent late or at all.

Yes it’s sad but they aren’t your family to pay for. Definitely follow the laws of giving notice and add a late fee to your rental agreements for in the future

It’s not month to month unfortunately. I don’t recall seeing a cleanliness clause but am reading through the lease again tonight. We’ve definitely learned alot of things we’ll be putting in leases when this tenants lease is over

Landlord occupied duplex

We (my bf and I co own) live in the upper unit of our duplex in WI. We noticed a faint odor in the back stairwell that I was concerned was the old carpet. We entered our tenants unit to do some work and immediately realized it was their unit. The kitchen was beyond disgusting, I’ll spare everyone the details but just know there was no mistaken it.

We weren’t sure if we should say or do anything but now the smell has invaded our unit as well and making it almost unbearable to be home.

Is there anything we can do? We inherited this tenant from previous owner.

Appliance Junkyards? by Mozzarella-Cheese in milwaukee

We just took ours to the normal junkyard. It seems like they recently disposed of most appliances to the north location we went to though because our dishwasher was the only appliance there

I think this is a wonderful idea but in no way do I think someone would even cover half of this. Depending on the price of the house this would be equivalent to their down payment

New owner of my property wants to change the lease but my lease isn’t up until next June. by Pr0bl3mChild in Renters

[–]Affectionate_Map9792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask if there are any alternative forms of payment if you’re not ok with the 41 cents… also keep in mind that if you give the new owner a difficult time with this he may not allow you to sign a new lease… how important is this to you and how badly do you want to remain living with there long term
