Ups and downs
Mar. 22nd, 2015 11:17 pmThe upside:
I was at the annual meeting of my forest environmental organization this weekend, and it was GREAT. Lots of good discussions, lots of good friends there, no conflicts. We have a great board for the coming year. I am all full of new energy!
The downside:
And then I get home and find that the landlord FROM HELL has had people go into my room without asking or telling me and painted the windowsills. They moved all my plants and some other stuff around. I had a sex toy by the bed and various other private stuff lying around. He may own the house, but this is MY FUCKING PRIVATE ROOM and I will FUCKING END HIM. This is not the first time recently that he sends people in to do various renovation stuff without telling us first, which is not okay either, but this is an order of magnitude worse. What makes it even worse is that it's obvious he's only doing this because he's going to sell the house. Before that, he never renovated anything or fixed anything that was broken if he could help it.
We're having a meeting with him tomorrow and I'm calling the tenants' organization before that.

Downside IS WRONG forty three ways. That's actually illegal in Wisconsin, I do hope it's not legal where you are! you can bleach the sex toy but you can't bleach your plants, woe.
I've checked, and it's illegal here, too. I'm going to make a police report, and I'm going to take great pleasure in telling him so TO HIS FUCKING FACE. Also he has to tell us in writing a month in advance before he does any renovations, and we can contest it if we want to. I will take great pleasure in telling him that, too.
ETA: Or maybe not. My housemates are afraid that if we do this, he will take revenge by claiming that we have made damages to the house and send us a huge bill after we move. We could of course take him to court over that, where he'd have to prove it, but if we lose it could have bad consequences. ARRRRGHHH. We'll have a meeting about it tonight. Updates to follow...
