OMG! She called my home phone yesterday, and left me a voice mail saying that "they" are thinking about taking the house off of the market! And then she said, "So I want you to know that you can stay"!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: What in the world????
I am still looking for a place, and I plan to move out ASAP! I don't know what she is thinking. How can I even begin to trust that she won't sell the house? Seems like a little game to me, and I am not playing!
I have appointments at several places this weekend, so hopefully I can find something and be able to give her my 30 days notice with my September rent check! On a positive side, I have found very few landlords NOT willing to accept my furgirls! Yeah! I would never move somewhere that I couldn't take my girls! That is out of the question!
Thanks again to everyone for their kind words and suggestions!
You go, girl!:D
She is really playing some games alright, and.....at your expense. She is not a good person. Best wishes on getting very far away from her and her psycho boyfriend.

I hope you find something soon!!! Does it say you have to give her 30 days notice in your "lease" where you have no rights?? I'd make sure that when I gave my notice, I had something lined up for earlier than 30 days, and had most of my boxes packed and either in storage at a friend's house or somewhere, because when she (and he) hear you are moving, they're going to want to get someone else in there quickly and they won't give a crap about you. (Can you tell I've dealt with crappy landlords before?! ;)).
There should be something on that lease about giving you notice before the property is being shown. I did press that one with the last place I was in. I'd come home and the doors would be open, my cats would be in the basement of the 1st floor apartment, and you could see people went through my drawers and cupboards (and drank my drinks in the fridge.. nice one).
Here is the latest! The last I had heard was a voice mail the she was takingt he house off of the market. That was a couple of weeks ago. However, the FSBO sign has remained in the yard. So last night, I got home late (I looked at a couple of places, then had dinner with my bf) and there is a REALTOR SIGN in the yard! Well okay then! I listen to my voice mails, and she, once again, leftme a message in the middle of the day on my home phone to tell me that she had decided to put it with a realtor. Now, I have never sold a house, but I think that before the house gets the sign in the yard, you talk to the realtor and sign a contract. So she had a few days before this all happened that she could have talked to me! So, the search continues. I looked at a place last night that I think is a real possibility. However, I have appointments to look at 3 more before I make a decision. I will keep you posted!
Just wanted everyone to know that I found a place, and I am moving this weekend! I am NOT looking forward to the move, but I am so happy to get out of that house! I called the owner (former friend) of my current place, and it took her 2 days to return my call! So I told her I was moving at the end of the month, and she said that I was welcome to stay until the house sells and I told her that I felt it was in my best interest to leave now and that I had found a great place. She simply said "okay" and hung up! So the next day, she calls me at home in themiddle of the day while I am at work (of course) and tells me that I am breaking the lease and that I owe her some outrageous amount of money! :eek::mad:Then she said that she would expect it on October 1. Well, she is NOT getting any money out of me. I called her back, of course, got her voice mail and told her what I thought! I then told her that she needs to call me so that we can talk person to person. Well, she must have gotten the message, since she called me back in a few hours. We talked for quite a while, and I told her that she needs to put herself in my shoes, and realize that I have NO CHOICE but to move. I told her that I had been trying to talk to her for over a month about my moving, but she would never return my calls except to call at home when she knew that I wouldn't be there. I reminded her several times that friends don't treat friends this way. I also told her that she couldn't tell me that, if she were made a full price offer on the house on the terms that the new buyers be able tomove in 2 weeks, she wouldn't accept that and give ME no more than 2 weeks notice. Well wonders never cease, and she said she understands my position. She never said that she would no longer expect the money, but that is okay. If she wants to sue me, she can take me to court. I have all of the phone messages she has left me saved on my phone. While I technically AM breaking the lease, I think that I have no choice since I have no idea when the house will sell.
She called me today to tell me that the realtor is showing the house tomorrow evening. She called me AT WORK! WOW! Maybe I got through to her. I told her there are boxes everywhere and they would still be there, but that I would do my best to make the house as presentable as possible. **I am trying to play nice, she just makes it so hard!**
So, if anyone is in the Fort Wayne Indiana area on Saturday and would like to help me move, come on over! You are more than welcome and we can use the help!
Thanks for everyone's support through this nightmare. I truly appreciate it.
By the way, my new place is great! Lots of windows for kitties to look at people, squirrels and birds! And I will be happy there also!
;):D
The new place sounds great, and couldn't have come at a better time! Sorry I am too far away to help you move! My only tip is, of course, corral the cats FIRST!
Congrats on standing up to her about the situation. Best of luck on the
move into your new place.:) Moving is never fun, but finding your peace
of mind should make the work go a little easier this time.:)
