I had contacted a lady about a place to rent, she had a whole 3 bedroom house and said to share with HER (and that she works most of the day).
I emailed her, she repeatedly said her. I go to look at the place, I walk up to the front door there is kids toys all over the front deck.
I am thinking is this the right house, it was..... she forgot to mention she had a kid, and her boyfriend comes and goes.
As soon as she said this, I go you can show me the house, but I am not interested.
I will not pay to listen to someone else's kid, now her boyfriend I could probably handle, as I mind my own business.
She goes this is why I didn't mention I had a daughter, and my boyfriend comes over a few times a week. Well hiding it will just make you look bad, I apologized and told her no I am not interested.
She was begging me, but I told her sorry, but by her emails and ad I assumed she was a single lady.

I wonder if she would have appreciated it if you told her it would just be you and then come moving day, you moved in with someone else with you? Completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

She lied by omission. She apparently is having money problems. I wouldn't trust her character just because she tried to slip something by you.

Yeah... I'd be wondering what else she'd "forget" to tell me.

I guess she did mention that she had a daughter the other times and could not share the house. Perhaps she should have asked for another woman with a child to share the house with her, and also mention the boyfriend so that people would not assume she is a lesbian. Also you should have mentioned that you prefer sharing with another single lady sans children. I would have been wary of the boyfriend, but that' me.

Most people would say I have a child, or my none live in boyfriend. That's the last thing I would ask, or even think of to ask.
She thought the person would just agree, why would I caare if she is a lesbian?. I don't swing that way nor do I care which way she swings, I would mind my business, and just have a place to live, most likely barely talking to her. But she has a young daughter that isn't even school aged yet.

Wow that is ridiculous. If you tell someone that it is just you that you are going to be sharing a house with its expected to just be that person and thats it. Her having a child should be one of the first thing she tells people. Not everyone wants to put up with kids all the time.

LOL what? Really? Did she think you'd just smile and nod and say "that's okay!" 
I would've been annoyed that she wasted my time like that. But on the bright side, at least you didn't have that sprung on you after you moved in...

well at least you found out before signing a lease. My granddaughter rented an apartment in her friend house. She was told that she would have access to the internet through the friend and also cable TV. Well after my granddaughter signed the lease and moved in she was told that the friend/landlord was. canceling bot the internet and ta cable TV. My granddaughters mom and dad just bought her new TV for Christmas. She had been living at home the same as you do. This is her first time living out on her own.

It`s absurd to "forget" to mention something so important when renting or shring a place. One would stat to think aboout what else is she hiding. I would not dare go to a place like that. Besides, in youe cae, moone is kicking you out of your place. So take your time. Luck!
