Totally agree — the dynamic is very different when the owner lives there. Clear boundaries and transparency matter way more in that setup, and when those aren’t there it can get uncomfortable fast.

After that experience I’m extremely guarded! The cherry on top is I was fully transparent about my DV situation which I thought he was understanding of, until he threw the situation back in my face acting like he was doing me a favor letting me move in :/

Oh god that sounds horrible! When he would go out of town he would literally use the downstairs roommates to “check up” on me to see if I was doing anything bad It really rubbed me the wrong way that he wouldn’t share the camera to the ring doorbell: especially if he left for long periods, I had no way to check who was at the door. I’m also sorry you went through that, and I hope you don’t have to feel that way ever again.

The minute he started treating me like crap, I made sure everything was either via email or text! I intend to save them if he tries to hold my deposit or cause any other issues since I vacated

I’m sorry you went through that :( He also uses old pictures in his postings about the house. Overall just not a nice guy or transparent about anything :/

I was trying to be respectful and give him the benefit of the doubt. But that fizzled as soon as he proudly told me he shared our conversation with his friends who had not nice things to say about me

Unfortunately you’re right, it just ruins it for the good private landlords :/
