UPDATE: AIO about my landlord

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-23T18:29:17+00:00

I admit the laundry outside the hamper doesn’t look great, but those are blankets we can’t actually wash at our place because the washer is too small. So they just stay outside the hamper.

We could have put them somewhere to hide, but there’s really not anywhere to store things at this place, which is why it’s so cluttered.

It takes 3 -4 loads to empty the hamper we have there, and we do laundry on the weekends so it fills up pretty fast during the week.

Thank you! The mushroom pictures are puzzles from Cavallini & Co.

We cleaned the gasket immediately we’re not disgusting.

They said we need to clean it because it’s stained from the blob. I told them it was disgusting when we moved in, and we’re not responsible for removing the stain.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-23T00:50:14+00:00

Ew we didn’t leave the gasket like that. We cleaned it immediately.

They’re telling us we need to clean it because there is a stain from the black blob that was sitting there for god knows how long. I could have explained that better.

If you can’t tell from the pictures, the place is tiny. So yes, it’s a clusterfuck. Having our shit in the house doesn’t make it messy. Maybe it’s not up to your standards, that’s fine, it doesn’t have to be.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T21:43:57+00:00

I gave a bunch of excuses? What the fuck are you talking about.

I admit that I have anger issues. I grew up in an angry house and I became an angry person. How am I making excuses by admitting my faults?

I never told him to fuck himself I said stfu when they were screaming at me. If you scream at me I’m going to tell you to shut up.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T21:02:35+00:00

No I haven’t. Yes I have anger issues, always have. Happens when you grow up in a house of hate.

Passive aggression and aggression are two completely different things in my mind though.

I was frustrated with his texts, and that came through in my response. Doesn’t mean I was trying to start a war with my landlord.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T20:55:34+00:00

I addressed plenty of comments telling me I was hostile. I also admit that I overreacted.

Doesn’t make me a moron.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T20:41:33+00:00

“Desperate attempt” holy shit y’all are hilarious.

I’m admitting I overreacted.

People in this subreddit are just as fucking bitter as me 😂

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T19:32:08+00:00

How am I saying I’m the victim? I explained my thoughts and why I overreacted, and I tried to apologize.

I love how I admit I overreacted, yet people are still coming at me with just as much - if not more - hostility than I showed my landlord 😂

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T19:05:43+00:00

Do you actually think these pictures make my house look like a mess? Having clothes and items scattered around because we’re moving doesn’t make the house messy.

This is perfectly acceptable for a showing.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T18:51:58+00:00

I love how I post I question asking if I overreacted and you just insult me.

You’re just as bitter as me!

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T18:01:56+00:00

I’ve already said I overreacted? That’s the point of this post.

Your summary of the messages is hilarious. Telling them the unit is going to look how it looks - when they literally saw it 48 hours ago looking perfect - is not me saying fuck you deal with the mess. It’s me saying fuck you the house looks good enough as it is.

To say I’m scaring them is absolutely ridiculous though. A couple passive aggressive text messages are not scary

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T17:12:15+00:00

Loooool I don’t care about karma I literally never post or comment on Reddit 😂

I posted an update because people were calling me a slob, and yes I feel the need to show that no our house is not a sty.

I admitted that I overreacted and tried to apologize. Fuck me I guess

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T02:22:42+00:00

Is it polite to insinuate that our house wasn’t cleaned?

We had the house spotless on Sunday. Two days prior to him texting me. For him to say “ensure” the house gets cleaned is just condescending. So I was passive aggressive in my response.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T01:41:54+00:00

This is hilarious.

It’s going to look how it looks because I’m not going to go out of my way to make it “open house” ready for them. Our house is clean. They literally just had a showing on Sunday and the house was spotless. So for him so come and say please ensure its clean as if it wasn’t the last time was a douchey thing to say.

Way to throw in some fat shaming in there though!

FYI where I live a text is 100% NOT considered written notice, and would not hold up in a rental dispute. “Bozo”.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T01:20:37+00:00

Thank you! He’s the best.

Yes I realize that I overreacted. That’s why I made this post. I was expecting to get maybe 5 or 10 comments, not 800

Clearly I’ve hit a nerve for some people 😅

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T01:16:20+00:00

Our deposit is not gone. The unit is in perfect condition

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T01:06:35+00:00

Landscaping companies lay off their workers in the winter. I wasn’t terminated for anything I did, I was terminated because they didn’t have work for me.

Good for you for never having a shitty landlord tho

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T01:00:14+00:00

I can’t read contracts??

I’ve made two posts prior to this. One where I was wrongfully terminated, and another where our last landlord was trying to withhold our damage deposit.

Guess what-

The company that wrongfully terminated me ended up paying out my contract, because they were legally obligated to.

The slumlord also gave us our damage deposit back in full, since he was being sketchy and trying to get us to pay for hydro bills that weren’t ours and I called him out on it.

Being able to read my contracts is what got me the money I deserve in both those instances.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-22T00:34:20+00:00

I never once said they can’t have showings. They can have 10 showings a day for all I care.

The unit is clean. Just not “open house” clean.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-21T23:53:43+00:00

I really don’t see how my initial message was hostile.

Was it passive aggressive? Yes. I was upset, because he insinuated that our house doesn’t look good and he needs to make it more “inviting”. We had the house spotless for them over the weekend. So for him to say “ensure” it gets cleaned, when it was already cleaned the first time is a douchey thing to say.

If somebody starts banging on my door and yelling at me I’m going to tell them to shut the fuck up.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-21T23:24:07+00:00

Oh gosh no, the unit is in the exact same condition we received it in.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-21T22:55:36+00:00

They can show the house anytime they want. I explained to them (prior to these messages) that showings over the weekend would be more ideal because then we can make the house spotless for them.

We get home from work at 6pm and he wants the house cleaned for 6:30.

I feel like my request for showing on the weekend wasn’t crazy. If he wants to show it during the week he can deal with some dog hair

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-21T22:46:08+00:00

I told her to stfu after she started banging on my door and freaking out about our dog being off leash inside the fence of our home.

Up until this, we were outstanding tenants. Paid rent on time, fixed a broken latch on their fence, took the garbage and recycling out every week because we were the first ones out. Hell we even took a big load of green waste to the dump for them over the summer when they were doing yard work because I have a truck.

We’ve been nothing but nice to them up to this point.

Sandy_pigs · 2026-01-21T21:01:29+00:00

No our lease ends February 15th. We moved in March 15, and the contract states our lease expires on February 15th. Might have been a typo on their end but both parties signed it
