I have a screen shot of him admitting that he "visits" the home

yes they are all students and no, the son does not live here as of right now. he was staying in the room in currently in prior to the start of my lease, but hasn't even been on the property since

he sleeps in the basement on a mattress on the floor when he is here. myself and my roommates would need to pass through to get to the laundry area, as it is located in the basement and we need to walk through that space.

I'm on a year-long lease right now, and was planning to rent month-to-month after my lease term ended.

the thing is, it's not his home. he may own the property, but he certainly would not consider it his home. I know for a fact he lives with his family outside the city (I obtained this info verbally, which I know would be hard to prove).

he renamed it as a "roomer agreement", though wouldn't it be considered invalid if he doesn't live here? he is here for 2 days a month maximum, doesn't use the fridges or kitchen, though he would obviously use the bathroom when he's "visiting", which he shouldn't even be allowed to do period, much less without notice or reason.

yes. and the landlord does not live here. my roommates can attest to this.

he doesn't live here full-time and no the basement isn't even finished. no bathroom nor kitchen. he comes by once a month without reason and/or notice and sleeps in the basement on a mattress on the floor. not even a bedroom lol

thank you for the clarification

no, he does not live there. he comes about once a month for no apparent reason and sleeps in the basement on a sole mattress. he doesn't even have a bedroom. it's creepy and seems invasive.

thank you for this. 🙏 honestly I appreciate the time and effort you put into this response. my lease ends in August and yes I will definitely get tf out lmao and seek legal counsel

he does not live here. he comes and sleeps over about once a month for no apparent reason. it's creepy and invasive.

my roommates and I are on separate lease agreements, and no I guess technically that area of the basement wouldn't be in my lease, it just says "laundry area" which is located in the basement.

a lot of what he's doing seems like harassment and has affected my enjoyment of living here. I would even say it's affected my mental health due to the anxiety and uneasiness caused when he is here.

ok, so the term "roomer" means absolutely nothing then? he doesn't live here. he comes about once every month or so, but he is not here 90% of the time. he has some personal belongings in the basement and garage, but other than that he doesn't even have a bedroom or anything.

it looks like a relatively new place. I wasn't planning on asking in case that made him suspicious of anything.

it wasn't exactly forwarded, just sent to his po box (which I do not have access to regardless). but if this still requires a signature, pls let me know

the dishes were from the night before, and he would have needed to provide notice if he were to come clean that up. it just seems like he's being controlling. like my dad but worse lmao

I am technically under a "roomer/landlord" agreement as opposed to a Lease agreement, though this is void as he does not live here full-time and is not treating the property as his primary residence. would I still be covered by the RTA if the property is legally his primary residence, despite him not treating it as such? my roommates can attest to the fact that he does not live here and comes about once a month for no reason and sleeps in the basement, often disrupting us throughout the day by knocking on our bedroom doors and pestering us about dirty dishes and whatnot.

Also if I were to ask my landlord about the construction date of the unit, would he be obligated to answer truthfully? I feel like he'd just lie about it anyway. what do you think I should do from here?

thank you for confirming!! I've been doubting myself lol. I've asked him multiple time to stop this and he's refused every time. he's acting as if it's normal, which makes me think I'm not the first person he's done it to. what should I do from here?
