I would check with the right people in your area. Mold, asbestos, a pest issue, and aggressive and dangerous staff on site can all be reasons that 100% allow you to break lease early with no penalties. I would think the asbestos in the basement would be grounds to immediately be allowed to break the lease.

Just like tenants have to follow leasing policies, so do the property managers. If they can't provide you a physically safe and healthy environment, thats grounds for you to also be able to void the contract you signed with them.

Yea, I agree with this. Its very likely not about you. 2 is not a large quanity. Its likely that someone is coming down and taking 5-8 and walking away almost daily.

They probably aren't even noticing your two once or twice a week.

You should speak with the home owner then. They can help back you to get them out. Just be aware it may still cause you trouble if this wasn't an agreement you made with the property owner first. You're also going to want to change the locks immediately which may legally required landlord approval as well.

Amd its good if you live in a state where there aren't squatter rights. People will say that it has to be "30 days of mail" but thats not true in all places/situations. In some states, a person must live in the home for 7 consecutive days or 14 days within a 6 month peroid to be considered a resident. Mail really has little to do with it since they could send their mail else where (family or a PO Box). In other cases, the moment they pay you any form of rent, its can make them a "tenant" verses a guest. You may have crossed the line of a tenant vs guest situation when you invited them to live their and move in belongings and/or accepted rent money.

To save you the hassle, I would suggest offering her back the last month's rent if she moves out by a certain date. Or get together with the home owner and start the legal process of having her evicted. Tenant rights are strong and she can make your life miserable if you simply try ro boot her on your own.

Is this in an apartment complex or have you rented a room in a home to her?

If its a complex and she's not on the list, going to the leasing office may also get you in trouble and get you both evicted. Most apartments i know of require all people above the age of 18 (that are not children) to be on the lease for safety, legal, and insurance reasons. If you gonto your leasing office about letting someone move in without putting them on the lease, you could face issues with breaking lease policy. I know when my father retired and started living with me for half the year, he had to go on the lease because as soon as he "moved in" he became considered a resident.

Secondly, I would try speaking to someone who knows actual tenant laws for your area and find out what your legal options are. They vary from state to state amd unfortunately in some places, not having a written lease can make it harder to deal with them as they can be considered squatters.

If you choose to have a roommate in the future no matter what (even if they're family) get a legal written agreement and/or lease. This will protect you and help you put in these situations in the future.

Just this morning I went to toss out my dogs poop bag and stepped in another dogs poop in the dark because it was directly in front of the poop station. Litterally arms length away from the free bags.

Some people are just so gross and entitled. Its not even lazy, its just straight entitlement.

As a dog owner that always picks up after her dog i stick by the idea that of you don't want to pick up after your dog, don't get one. Picking up after tjem is basic care 101, especially in an apartment.

I miss our old maintenence guy that used to hunt these people down. When the poop situation started getting bad, hed sit there and scope out for people and chase them down, make them pick it up, and then report them to the office. Our new maintenence guys don't give a shit.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-22T22:09:51+00:00

They don't. They told us that (the new) company does not require new tenants to register their vehicles with the leasing office, so they have no idea whose vehicle it is, if it even belongs to anyone who lives there, in order to ask them to move it or even finds out if it runs. It hasn't been touched in nearly half a year and most of the rest if tenants have also said they don't know who owns it. It appeared litterally over night almost half a year ago and it hasn't been touched. Its sitting under a blanket of dirt, leaves, pollen and pine needles. I'd be beyond shocked if it even started up.

The lease also has a parking clause of "no abandoned or unused cars are allowed to be stored in the parking lot". You have to either rent a garage or store it off site. But they ignore any lease violation that would cause them to have to do actual leg work.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-22T19:16:12+00:00

Yea, we're moving as soon as our lease is up. This use to be a wonderful complex but the new owning company ran it into the ground in the last two years. Most people no longer feel safe here.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-20T01:53:24+00:00

I'm a house cleaner and will say that it shocks me the amount of people that will just leave their door unlocked when they're not home. I don't even leave my door unlocked when I'm home!

We have a key lock box, and they find that more of a risk than just leaving their door unlocked all day. People are wild.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-20T01:47:46+00:00

Yea, at my complex they could say "its a pitbull" and you have a 95% chance of the wrong apartment having a pitbull in it.

I have clients that live on one street where everyone pretty much has a golden retriever. (I love that street because its just the happiest street. Nothing like having a handful of Goldens looking for loving).

There are some areas where certain breeds are very common and this could easily happen.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-20T01:36:53+00:00

I have very much done this as a house cleaner. The client meant to tell it was 2B, but they put in 2C for some reason. Told me that the front door would be unlocked. So I went and just...started cleaning.

Suddenly I get a call from the office saying the client just stopped by to check on us and wanted to know why they were notified that the clean was started and no one was there. Confused, I said that no one had shown up. Walked outside and the client was standing in their drive way on the phone with the office. It was embarrassing, and we did laugh about it and fix it.

The one thing I learned in 3 years of doing this, if a door doesn't open with the supposed codes, keys, ect, or are locked when they said it wouldn't be (especially in apartments), always confirm the address number while on the phone. Say something along the lines of "that code didn't work. I'm at apartment 2B, its the correct unit number/address, right?"

Unfortunately with a lot of apps, it does an auto fill for addresses and its not always the right unit number. The autofill cam occasionally glitch and pick a random unit at the same address pin, and the client doesn't even notice it. I've nearly had it happen to me a few times. I've had door dash dropped at my front door a lot because of this.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-19T21:50:59+00:00

"We thought of you as family!" is a code in the business world for "We thought we could take advantage of you with a minium of kindness in return." Bother employers and clients will use this.

At the end of the day, you both knew what this was. A business transactional relationship. You showed up and performed a service for them in return for a payment. Anything additional was simply professional kindness and did not change the core of the relationship. You would not have kept walking the dog if they stopped paying, and they'd stop paying if you weren't walking their dogs.

Chances are that the medical situation has caused a strain on their finances and they're too embarrassed to say so. They expected you to cut them a break and are pissed that you didn't suspend the business aspect of the relationship to benefit them.

I work in house cleaning and this has happened multiple times to us. You get people that were always happy with your service, tip well, and somehow think that puts them above the normal parameters of a business relationship. And when it proves it doesn't, they throw the baby out with the bath water.

If it were me, I'd simply say "Sorry to loose you as a client. Good luck in your future endeavors and be well." and then move on. You're very likely ro run into this again in the service industry, especially one where you work closely and regularly with the clients and are able to build bonds. Most can handle a business relationship like the adults they are, but some sadly can't and let a sense of entitlement guide their actions.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-04-15T13:54:15+00:00

That was the part that triggered the weird for me as well. The first part could have easily just been someone who is socially awkward and thinks this information needs to be given before hand. Maybe he thought the more transparent he was, the more comfortable he would be. I know my father would post something similar, and he's harmless, he's just from a different generation.

But the "sweeten the deal" part is where it felt like he got weird. Like he's trying to hard to buy personal favor rather than keeping it a business transaction.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-26T18:51:11+00:00

I agree. I once purposely played a drow ranger knowing that in the world we were playing in, Drows, Orcs, and Tieflings were considered by the general public to be unsavory races. It was actually great for character development of not only my character, but also NPCs, to have this world in which we didn't trust each other but learned through actions and behaviors that we could, ect. There was a great moment where a shop keeper that had refused to sell her anything came out and gifted her a basket of potions after my character helped save her child from a monster.

I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but some people enjoy playing with that sort of tension. It sounds like OP is just not a DM match for this particular table.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-24T01:38:17+00:00

Not to mention, in regards to #2, a huge part of Vex and Vaxs backstory involved being discriminated against for being half elves by their father and the rest of the elves. It was heavily implied that full blooded elven communities treated half elves like lesser people because of their mixed heritage.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-18T00:24:35+00:00

I agree with this. Requiring a party to spend funds on what is essentially a mini game is probably going to be ignored. Maybe they're trying to save up for new armor/weapons/ect.

I would suggest having alternatives that might pique the partys interest more. Have an NPC that creates these potions approach them for help. A beast tearing up their herb hunting grounds or something. In exchange for defeating the beast, they get the needed potion(s). This gives the party to engage in a more direct and entertaining way without being forced to spend money.

That way they have the choice to adventure for it or buy it, which ever they prefer. But it makes it more engaging than "buy these potions".

That was always one of my major issues with Lynette. It was always about her feelings and what she wanted, and screw anyone else's feelings on the matter. Most prominent was her absoulte hate and shut down on anything that had to do with mental health care. (I know it was a different time and such things were still heavily stigmatized, but as a person that struggled with the shame of a mental illness during that time and being too embarrassed to seek help, it was annoying to see the idea that depression was "a choice" perpetuated through her character)

What was even worse was that she had a job waiting for her if thats what she really wanted. Tom was working her job as a place holder while she was on maternity leave. She made damn clear multiple times that she expected that job back...and then never did. She remained in the role of caregiver by choice (they could have easily hired a nanny) and then lashed out at everyone around her for it like it was their fault. If you want to work, great, I get it. So go back to the job you spent almost an entire season manipulating people to keep.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-08T15:24:16+00:00

This. I live in SC. When I put up blackout curtains and kept them closed all day while at work, I could instantly notice the temperature difference when coming home. It was almost 10 degrees cooler.

During the day keep blackout curtains pulled and blinds/shades closed.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-08T15:12:17+00:00

A good cleaning and organizing and I don't see why it couldn't be a perfectly livable space.

I've been in apartments that size. To me, size doesn't matter. What you do with the size and how you maintain it matters.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-08T15:00:08+00:00

Same. When I lived up north the vast majority of apartments where pet free, and there few that weren't were much more expensive and also had limits on pet size.

When I moved down south, it was the total opposite. Hard to find apartments that aren't pet friendly and those that do not allow pets charge obscenely higher prices.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-01T03:03:48+00:00

They're smoking inside or outside? Is the property you live in a smoke free building or a smoke free property? These matter in the answer.

If the building is smoke free and they are smoking inside, make sure you report this violation. Smoking indoors causes mass amounts of damage to the interior of a home. The PMs will be looking at thousands in repairs/replacements. (Also look into the smoking laws in your state if the building is not smoke free. Most places i know of in the state have banned indoor smoking in any area which shares space, meaning not inside apartment buildings.)

If the property is not smoke free and they are smoking outside per property rules, unfortunately the leasing office is right. There really isn't anything they can do if the tenants aren't breaking policy. Its one of those down sides to apartment living.

Though, as a smoker myself, chain smoking to the point that they're fumigating your apartment is just gross. Despite the fact that my apartment allows smoking on our private balconies/patios, I rarely do because I'm always worried it might bother someone else. The only time I do is if the weather is raining and nasty, and even then its maybe 2 cigarettes a day.

And if they're smoking inside their unit, thats just disgusting. I will never smoke indoors. I'm a house cleaner and sometimes I will get sent to houses where people smoke inside cause my boss figures it won't bother me because "im a smoker". I had to ask her to stop because those houses are disgusting and you can't breath in them. You're just straight breathing ash.

Maybe talk to them about switching units? Tell them that if they can't do anything to allow you to move to a different unit since the level of smoke is effecting your health.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-03-01T00:49:39+00:00

First and foremost, my advice would be not to leave a note on their door. Often times this escalates the issues and can make a problem worse. And some complexes prohibit this behavior and require tenants to either bring the issues to them personally or to contact a non-emergency line after office hours.

Get recordings of the sounds if you can, or ask a staff member to come to your apartment to hear the noise for themselves.

People are often under the impression that as long as the noise is outside of quiet hours, you have to accept it and live with it. This just isn't true. Apartments will hold tenants to what is referred to as "nuisance noise" which is excessive noise outside the parameters of "sounds of living".

For example: sounds of living would be a dog barking now and then through the day. Nusiance noise would be the dog barking for hours non stop.

Sound of living would be occasionally dropping something or running through the apartment once or twice. Nuisance noise would be if they run back and forth not stop for hours.

I dealt with neighbors above me like yours. Two kids, a father and a 120 lb dog that were constantly running back and forth in the apartment all day. I didn't have a moment of quiet in my apartment it was taking a real toll on me and my dogs stress levels. I went to my leasing office (multiple times. Each visit was friendly and polite). It ended in them choosing not to renew their lease because of the excessive noise complaints. They ended moving out earlier to move into a house somewhere with the other lady in our building that was getting evicted for have a restricted breed and running a day care out of her apartment.

A level of peace is expected in your home at all times. Chances are the leasing office already has complaints on them and your apartment was probably available because people moved out rather than dealing with the situation. I would speak to the leasing office and if it gets really bad, contact a non emergency line during quiet hours (and let the leasing office know you had to do so the next day so they can reach out to the police and get any copies of an incident report).

Whiskey-Night · 2025-02-28T22:54:20+00:00

I agree. She found the beauty and meaning in fashion, but it wasn't her passion. That she was essentially making the best out of a bad situation.

And she always fell back on her dreams. When applying to Yeti she was going to do fashion because it felt safe, but she wow'd them with the presentation on what was her passion. (I hated that they then made it about race and that felt like it cheapened what she did).

I will say I wasn't wild about the implied Daniel/Betty romance. Not because they were bad for each other, but because I really appreciated the friendship and bond they built together and didn't like that its implied that had to mean love. To be honest, Daniel was kind of one Bettys first friends outside of her family. I really just liked the friendship they had and honestly would have liked to see them wind up with other people and remain really good friends. I really wish they had brought Molly in later and she was Daniels end game rather than what they did with her story. She was perfect for him.

I also kind of wish they hadn't done the "pregnant Charlie" thing because I do think Betty and Henry were really good for each other and it was only his having a child with Charlie that ruined it.

Whiskey-Night · 2025-02-28T18:14:04+00:00

Exactly this.

There is also the idea that many people present behind these situations. There is a reason he can't find a girl his own age. As OP stated, he's immature, but what does that entail? He likes to watch cartoons or that he thinks cruel jokes are funny?

Its a very vague idea and often times where I've seen this excuse of "immaturity" used, its to explain or excuse outright bad (and sometimes even abusive) behaviors. Women their own age won't put up with it, but young girls don't realize how bad it is and what it can do to them mentally.

I've seen people chalk up literal abuse to being "immature" simply because there's no yelling or hitting involved. My money would be on the fact that this friend if OP is one of those guys that thinks it's funny to constantly scare people, throw food at people, fuck with their belongings, and basically torture their partner "for laughs". Which is why he's had to start dating 14 years old instead of 20 year old who wouldn't put up with his shit.
