So these people took over the property that I live in. She proceded to tel my 10 yr and 9 Year old what she didnt like about my house.. Only one pic should be on all walls , she doesnt like the paint color so all walls need to be white or yellow (does she know how long walls stay white in my house?) turtle should NOT be in front of the window in my living room, we need to get new carpet, she d
oesnt LIKE my daughters things she has on her wall. (and once told her that her shorts were to short) No bunk beds because she doesnt like them no dogs, but preceded to brag about hers and show pictures.....We need to replace the windows (they are like 30 years old) damn right they need replacing and the carpet too, But NOT BY ME!!! And we cant have our bedroom in the lowest level of the house....If thats the case we dont have enough rooms. This she told to my youngest two kids!!! WTF I hope that she doesnt have all that on the new lease because I am going to have issues. We have been here for 7 years and she has no right to come in here saying that and putting up those types of stipulations. And I just dont know where we can move to because we have a large family and rent is so high every where I look. My kid are establised right here, school friends. I am so upset.

I think this woman wants to make your life hell. She has no right to talk like that, especially to your kids! I agree with gifts&bags that she may be trying to make you move without going through the hassle of eviction. And possibly because of your kids she wouldn't be able to. And she doesn't have the right to tell you all those other things - where you should sleep, etc. Can you talk to a lawyer, just to find out what your rights are and what exactly she can't do according to law? Some legal associations give free consultations on stuff. I'd look into it. Forewarned is forearmed. If you know your legal rights you'll be better off. Good luck.

Yes she did make a good point on the lady trying to make me move. Just so that she can have her house just the way she wants it. the only problem is that the renter lives here and its a house not an apartment, so the renter should be able to make it their home while they are living in it. I have always been very comfortable in my home until now. And that has been SEVEN years!!!! The part that got me the most was that she was telling my kids all this stuff. WAY OUT OF LINE. She told me absolutly none of this when I got back. Acted like everything was perfectly fine. I am very nervous about the day that they come do a walk through and hand me a new lease. But I do have free legal aid that I am getting ahold of prior to them coming here. I also think that with us already living here its unreasonable for her to make us change all of this.

I'm SO glad you can get legal advice. I can't believe she never said a word to you but dumped it all on your kids! What kind of an adult does that???? She is very sneaky. My experience has been when people talk to kids like that but don't confront the adult that they're very sneaky people. And I really don't think she can tell you how to arrange your furniture or where you can sleep, etc. Relax, take a deep breath, straighten things up and let her b*tch all she wants. I think maybe you should have somebody there with you when they do the walk through. Do you have any friends/relatives that have a forceful or intimidating presence about them? Somebody that could just not say anything but watch them like a hawk while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. Things like that work wonders with the type of person she seems to be. Who is coming to do the walk through? If it's her and she's bringing someone with her you should really have a friend with you. And it will help you from feeling so nervous. I would be so upset if that was happening to me.

Yeah, there are students at the university that we have on the city that we live in. So part of their internship is offering legal aid free to people in the area. I was thinking the same thing about what kind of person does that. I mean they are young kids and have no understanding of any thing that she was saying except thinking oh no what are we going to sleep on and we have to take all of our art work down. I am hoping that my husband will be here. Oh great, I just learned from my husband that she is comming tomorrow morning at 9am....I just dont know how I will handle her talking any of this junk to me.....

I would be upset as well. If she has all those opinions, then some of them need to come out of her pocket. However, she does not need to be talking negatively to your children. Actually should not be talking to them at all without you being present.

I am very upset because this is my home and I have felt very at home and comfortable here, my children also. We told them from the beginning that we planned on staying here for 10 years at least. And most likely until my kids are out of school. I am so mad that she dared to talk to them making them become stressed out about if we can stay in our home. We have become establised here and planned on it to stay that way. I will tell them that the next time that she wants to come, she needs to just wait outside for me if I am not here.

We have been great tenants. We take good care of the property and the painting is colorful but its tasteful and brings out a pleasant appearace of our home. Our kitchen is accented with one wall and then cabimet accents in a cranberry and then the alternate color is beige. Every one that has come over just loves our work. We have matching curtains and table clothes and area rugs. They have never offered to paint and every year its nice to do a touch up. Since we have been here so long with no issues I dont see her problem. She just came in and just gets all these notions that she is totally in control of everything.

You can very nicely explain that it is for her well being as well as theirs. You would not want anyone to accuse her of molesting the children or injuring them. She should always have their parent around so that no one makes any mistakes about what was said or done. It is sad if she wants you out. I imagine you have been good and reliable tenants.

I can see someone maybe trying to insist on painting the walls, but Carpet and New windows, unless in your original agreement when you first moved in, since this is now their house, and responsibility this is up to them. I would not be going for something like this, and be wanting to move immediately. Does not sound like someone who would be easy to live under.

Hi,
It is very irritating that lady behaving rudely with you and your children. She has no right to tell you where to sleep and how is your bed and all that. I think you try to leave this house, because it would be headache for you. Take legal advice and teach a good lesson to that arrogant lady.
