I know it has been a long time sense my last blog. I thought I would update and try to entertain you some. Okay here is a little story I want to share with you. This story takes place in VA. Let’s say it is in Prince Williams County. Fair enough! Let’s see how many times I spotlight my Slumlord landlord who shall remain nameless.
Mike and I started to look for a rental home house in September 2009. Our lease from Tyson Glen Apartment was about to be up in December of that same year. While hubby was at work. I decided to start looking for a cheaper and bigger place. I saw a few houses that where really nice. I turned down one because it was gas. I wanted all-electric, so I would not have to pay a lot of different bills. Not to mention we don’t have that many bills but the basic. I was just being a cheap ass. Anywho, this one house Mike and I likes. I took a look at it and it wonderful. So I thought.
Let me say this, if you are going to rent a house from anyone. I suggest before you get into a rental contract with a possible ASSHOLE get some a few of their past renter referrals. WHy didn’t I think of that before hand.
Once my husband saw the place. My hubby asked the people if this house was cable ready, because he wanted a media room. Now we have 2 big screen tv’s. Once the word came back from the landlord it was cable ready. We decided to go for this particular house. rent this house. Don’t get me wrong this is a nice house. We end up moving around Christmas time. Keep in mind we had a bad winter storm.
We got into the house and I did the walk through of what was wrong with the house. For some reason in my head I had to note everything and take pictures. I just had this gut feeling to do so. I did it in very details. So when I took the walk through papers to the real estate agent. They made a copy and forward it to him. Well a few days later he had not come to his house. First of all the lease said he was suppose to come to the house within 5 days of us moving in. Yeah right he was a no-show. Yet once he got the list he was all for coming to the house.
HE did the walk through. Mind you it was his first time coming out to see the house. “What a jerk” I thought. He never step foot into this house until the day he met us. Who in their right mind don’t know what his house looks like. This made me wonder even more. Now let me back up. To my shock this house is not cable ready. The cable people came out like 4 times and nothing. It is not even wired for cable. The cable people said the needed a written letter from the landlord for permission to run the cables. So the SLUMLORD gave a written notice. It states
To whom it may concern (Nameless cable people),
I Slumlord give cable person permission to install cable at the tenants residents.
If any charges are accomulated the tenants are responsible for this.
Please bill the tenants for any cost that may occur.
Stop right there. The tenants are responsible for what. Okay right there! Cable people came out and said it will be a charge to get service and a few jacks in this place. I told them no because I will no pay to update someone elses house.
So when the Slumlord was here. He asked about the cable. I was ready to rip him a new one. I told him. This is not my house. This house is not cable ready. It will cost to get it cable ready. He was like you can pay to have this done. I said listen to what I am saying. I WILL NOT PAY TO UPGRADE YOUR HOUSE. THIS IS A SELLING POINT TO ADD AT MY EXPENSE. He was like this house is cable ready. I said no it is not. The cable people came out several times this house has no cable at all. They have to install jacks. So then he was like we can go half. I said listen here Mr. Slumlord. We have good credit. He stopped me. (funny part ) You have alright credit. I pulsed. Why? Because he don’t think woman should have a voice. Plus he think I am stupid b ecause I am a woman.
I said listen hear sucker. I know for a fact I have good credit. I had good enough credit to rent from you. If I would have known this house was not cable ready. I would not have moved in. If I would have know you are an ass, I would not have moved in. I never been late on my mortgage or rent in the past. I was going to stay for 2 years. Trust me when I say this you will get your 45 day leaving letter early. So do what you please. I am done. Thin as I was leaving he wanted me to listen to him. What part of done did he not understand. Was I suppose to sides with him because I am a woman. Mother Fucker please.
Okay now here is the joke. I paid my rent to him in a check while he was here. He gave a blank check to my hubby. Now this stupid mother fucker that is a damn disgrace to his mother womb, wants me to go into his bank every month and deposit the rent into his account. Now my bank can do it online through the banking part. However, what internet will I be using. I have no means of looking at the news, or getting online from home.
Yet I have time to sit here and talk a whole in your ear about the Mr. Slumlord. Just keep reading. I promise you it will get better one of these days. Just not right now.
Okay back to my story. He tried to ask my hubby if he is willing to sign a 2 year lease. My husband was like if you can make my wife happy then sure.
It is this simple. all he had to do was get the house updated for cable. No his fucked up ass couldn’t do that. I don’t have the news and what is going on in the world. Right now I have to listen to the radio. Get my updates on what’s going on in the world.
So a few days had passed. The shower up stairs was running. My son went to get a towel. He felt a drip. Yep the damn drain pipe leaking. Guess what I called Mr. Slumlord. He was like what happened. I told him my son notice a leak when he went to get a towel. He was like as your son what did he do. I was like run that by me again. I let him have it. How dare you accuse my son for anything. What the fuck is your problem?
So a few days after that he came to fix some things on the list. He asked if I had cable. I said no reg tv with 3 stations. He was like that is good. Well to him. Selfish bitch. You looking at tv everyday. You know what’s going on. I spit on the ground you walk on.
Update with tv. I now have no channels. (Fuck you Mr. Slumlord)
Okay so now it is a slow drain in the tub. Mr. Slumlord said we are responsible for fixing it. He lives 30 miles away and that is too far. Read my damn lease. (Listen hear stupid fuck! I am not responsible for that. IF you go back and read your damn lease you would know that jackass.)
Hear is my outlet for the day/night.
I can’t stand this man at all. He only wants the money and that’s it. He don’t want to keep up his property at all./ All he wants to do is have someone else to do is put money into his property to get it fix and take the credit for it. I have never lived in such conditions before. I rather live in the worse part of Dc there is. I would be much happier and content. I am now going to make sure I have the cheapest meals I can find for the next 8 months. I will be moving else where. I want to save every damn I have. Okay I am being dramatic. I don’t have to eat like I don’t have any money, but you know what I mean. I will not call Mr. Slumlord anymore. He will not hear from me. I hope he don’t think all is good because I have not called him. Once he said read the damn lease it is history from that. I don’t give a shit anymore. I will give him a 60 day notice instead of a 45 day notice. I hope he happy and hope he find that will never happen. He will have a hard time finding good renters like my family. He will have a damn hard time finding someone with good credit too. His fucking lost..
