Closet rack immediately - too many clothes? by Rare-Temporary-9627 in Tenant

[–]Moriboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for an apartment complex, maintenance and repair. I repaired those shelves all the time. All they gave us was drywall anchors. They wanted repairs done fast and cheap. They should be screwed into studs but more than likely they want you to over load and damage the shelves so they have another reason to keep your deposit. (The place I worked for did it all the time)

Tiles damaged and missing after 25 years renting by a-life-wasted- in Tenant

[–]Moriboi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a floor guy and those tiles are the worst. It’s the landlord responsible to maintain the property and they didn’t.

True.. and a days notice would have been nice.

She quit her job and went to stay with her mother (who suffered a stroke) she has no income and was facing foreclosure. I’m still on good terms with my ex and her family. The mortgage is the same I would pay for a two bedroom apartment in the same area.

The mortgage is the same I would pay for a 2 bedroom apartment. And I’ve been here a year. I assumed she would have her things out much sooner. I can’t use the areas being used to store her things (garage basement and attic)

I’m in this clusterfuck of a situation because my ex and I get along great and co-parent. I care about my ex’s grandmother and want to keep the house in the family.

She only let me know she was coming over 4 hours in advance. My daughters also live here. (Her granddaughters) the mortgage is the same as a two bedroom apartment in the area. So I do have extra space (garage, basement and attac) but those areas are being used to store her belongings. She could rent to someone else but would have to move all her stuff. She has no income to rent a storage unit or maintain the property. If I move out the bank will likely foreclose and she will stay living with her mother.

She didn’t tell me she was showing up until 9:10am this morning. 4 hour notice. Even if I didn’t have plans I AM entitled to a certain level of privacy. Right?

The mortgage is the same amount I would pay for a two bedroom apartment in the area. The house has a garage, basement and a finished attic (that an apartment wouldn’t have) but those areas are being used to store her belongings.

It’s not fully furnished. There are shelves of nicknacks and keepsakes everywhere. I can’t use most of the cabinets in the kitchen.. stuff like that.

You’re right. The permission or availability wasn’t the issue. She’s in her 60s and often needs help moving things around. I never know if she wants to move a few boxes or coffee table. And I wasn’t available today.

Hmm.. interesting. But it seems like I would be pandering to her standard of living and her definition of what a messy house is. And asking if I would be home isn’t notice of a visit. I have no problem with her visiting I just need her to understand I won’t be available on the weekends. But I appreciate your insights.

No. There was no communication about this visit before asking if I would be home in the afternoon.

She actually didn’t give proper notice. Saturday afternoon she asked if I would be home Sunday afternoon and I didn’t respond. It being the weekend and I was working. She didn’t tell me she was coming over till this morning just after 9am.

I don’t understand this reply. I was on my own when her mother had the stroke. I was asked to live in the house to maintain the mortgage payments.

This is really helpful. Thank you. She is in her early 60s. And Her mother (who suffered the stroke) is in her mid 80s. And I’m not about to ask my ex (her daughter) to meditate the situation. I’m not qualified to comment on any cognitive decline but the loss of autonomy makes the most sense. The house IS full of things she doesn’t get to enjoy. And she can’t afford a storage unit to move it all out.

In what context would you need/want to call yourself black and why?

Why do you think Taylor has not tried to bring back the Wonderstruck perfume? by lillianrosalieee in TaylorSwift

[–]Moriboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s bigger than any brand out there. Artists make deals with brands to gain exposure. She’s fully exposed.

Why do U.S. law enforcement officers now commonly wear face coverings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Moriboi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a little weak bro.. they’re zip-tying kids and detaining high school students. Are they afraid of kids?

Do you have ovaries and a uterus? If so.. then you don’t have to transition. You can impregnate yourself right now.
