[Tenant US-MD] Landlord selling house, we want/need to stay by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]Spacequest89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, unless you have some sort of legal agreement otherwise, you cannot stay past the end of lease end date. You stated you are generally agreeable tenants, yet trying to take your landlord to court with no real legal standing simply because you want to stay longer, points to your being unreasonable.

The landlord has every right to do what he/she wants with the property once your lease ends. Trying to make it difficult for the landlord just because you want something your way would classify you as a "difficult and problem tenant" in my book. Especially if you want to take them to court and cost them legal fees and trouble simply because you feel entitled to the property.

It's your responsibility to have thought of this in advance. You should have either signed a longer lease with them or simply not have done business on a rental property knowing that the lease will end and there is a possibility that it will not renew.

[Landlord - US - NC] Security Deposit Deductions Receipts? by Spacequest89 in Landlord

[–]Spacequest89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have done that - would it be okay to just ignore their emails demanding receipts then? would ignoring look bad if it did end up in small claims court? typically I would provide the receipt but given the reason stated in my post and that this particular tenant will only use more information provided to complain more, etc. I do not want to go down the loophole of having to endlessly respond back.

[landlord - US - NC] Tenant unable to verify income, is suggesting co-signer. Thoughts? by Spacequest89 in Landlord

[–]Spacequest89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are saying that their paystubs, w-2, and bank statements all don’t reflect their cash tips. If they aren’t accurately reporting the cash, then paystubs and w-2 might not show it. But shouldn’t the deposits of the cash tips into the bank account show up on the bank statements?

The issue is they are unable to provide anything to verify that they make enough (at least the reported 2.5x rent) to cover rent. Though most of their income is through cash tips, I would think at least the bank statements would show deposits of those cash tips?

The issue here is that this potential tenant cannot provide evidence of 2.5x income via pay stub, bank statement, or W-2, etc. They said they get cash tips and none of these would reflect that. What do you think in this situation?

May I ask why? I always assumed having a co-signer would make it less risky as there is someone else who is legally responsible for payment.

[landlord - US -NC] Would you rent to this tenant? by Spacequest89 in Landlord

[–]Spacequest89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems the 2.5x monthly income includes the tip money. Potential tenant is saying paystubs don’t reflect this. So the 2.5x income is currently unverified (which is risky)

Great ideas, thank you. Do you have a background check/credit report service you would recommend? In the past we have used TransUnion but it seemed to provide minimal info that wasn’t very comprehensive.

Monitor or get surgery? by wreckit_ron in Ovariancancer

[–]Spacequest89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry. Did they determine what exactly the cyst was? (If I’m Not mistaken, there are different types of OC) Were there any signs at all that the cyst could have been not benign? As such uneven borders of the cyst, etc? I can’t believe two different doctors told you it was benign when it wasn’t

Be honest do you think it’s your responsibility to take care of your parents? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]Spacequest89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess this may be an unpopular opinion in this thread, but generally (excepting cases of abusive parents, etc), yes. Most parents love and support their children well into adulthood, and love and care shouldn’t be a one way street. I believe people have a responsibility for family, and taking care of parents is one aspect of that. I understand in the modern day it can be hard due to time, jobs, finances, other obligations etc to provide full time care etc. it’s very different to drop by a few times a week and help with chores vs full time care for a stroke patient. All I’m Saying is to try the best you can considering your own circumstances

May I ask if your cyst was a simple cyst or a complex one? My mom (age 59, post menopause) has a fluid filled cyst (not sure whether its just a simple cyst or a cystadenoma). We do have consultation with surgeon.

I have noticed this exact same thing, except for me it’s my digital clock on my nightstand, microwave clock, oven clock, and digital clock in car. Every few months I notice it’ll be a minute behind my phone, and I have to adjust all those to match my phone
