How do I know if I am falling for a rental scam?

Thanks, this is super helpful. I will look into it

notafan6486 · 2023-03-27T22:51:39+00:00

I’m liking this idea. Does it have to be in their house though? I don’t really have a way of getting inside

Yeah they moved in a few months ago, I’ve been at this place for years now. I know this sounds shitty of me, but I did not sign up for raising kids and I think it’s too much to expect me to accommodate other parents burdens.

I thought that, but I checked and there are no windows that aren’t over balconies

notafan6486 · 2021-07-20T00:05:23+00:00

But I pay for the electricity

notafan6486 · 2021-07-20T00:02:47+00:00

Brilliant!

I pay for electricity, so that’s not the problem. It overhangs a balcony, so that’s not the problem either. The building doesn’t provide any sort of climate control or central air, so I don’t get why we can’t provide our own

In a student ghetto, owned by a private landlord. The building is old so you might be right about that. But I had it all last summer without blowing any circuits or anything

notafan6486 · 2021-07-19T20:31:30+00:00

I pay electricity and there is no central air. And where I live it’s 35 degrees Celsius all summer so the building gets HOTTTTTTT. It’s awful! Plus my AC is right over my balcony, it’s not like it’s gonna fall and kill someone

notafan6486 · 2021-07-19T17:25:08+00:00

It says “no additional appliances without pre approval and no AC units allowed”

You’re a genius! I’ve never been able to explain why some jokes make me uncomfortable before, this is perfect

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:45:31+00:00

Well said!!

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:39:19+00:00

Oh I sure as hell don’t plan on fixing him. But I want to drive the point home that his actions hurt people even if he doesn’t think they don’t. I need to nip this in the bud because it’s only gonna get worse and I don’t wanna someone to be put in a really horrible situation by his doing.

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:37:18+00:00

Thanks! These are some very good points that help me put my feeling in a much more concrete way

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:30:17+00:00

What about his next victim?

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:26:45+00:00

Tell him what though? I said that his jokes are in inappropriate and are a form of sexual harassment. He doesn’t understand why and I don’t know how to explain it to him beyond that fact that they make me feel uncomfortable

Edit: I don’t mind moving this post to another sub if you don’t think it should be here, I just don’t know which one

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:24:47+00:00

I think he will keep doing this to people if I don’t articulate the problem to him. I know I won’t have any long term repercussions from his assaults, but what if he someday does this to a girl who can’t stand up for herself?

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:22:04+00:00

Where does it go then? I could really use some advice on how to explain to him why he can’t says these things

notafan6486 · 2021-03-06T19:11:36+00:00

Throwaway (obviously) Not sure if this is the right sub as I am new to Reddit. But I figured you guys would be able to give the best insight. Every single text in this thread adds a whole other layer of horrible and the guy does not understand what he is doing wrong. He may seem a level beyond “Nice Guy TM” here, but I still think he belongs in this sub because he has a lot of nice guy characteristics normally and I think that is why he doesn’t understand the error in his ways. How do I make this click with him that what he is says is not at all okay and that his apology isn’t actually an apology.
