How on earth could I handle my Landlord? (A little long but I really need advice)
DH and I moved into our apartment in November. We are very comfy here and we like the apartment a lot. The neighborhood is wonderful and the price is right! I just can't stand the landlord anymore! We thought about moving, but we really like it here. We have a big 1 br apt with all utilities included for $900 a month (parking included as well). These homes around here go for no less than 1 mil (literately) so DH and I thought we really scored! The only problem is, the landlords live upstairs from us and they are soo annoying!!
They claim their son (I believe he's in his mid-to late 40's) doesn't live here. I really could care less if he did or not, so why would they lie to me about that? His car is always here and they claim he just parks it here. I really don't care if he lives here, so why lie to us? Not really a big deal right? They really are nice people (the owners) and I have not one problem with them.
When DH and I were moving in, I found out he had a daughter. I don't care about that either but SHE IS THE MOST MIS-BEHAVED LITTLE BRAT ON EARTH! Our first night here DH and I past out on the couch with boxes every where because we were exhausted. We forgot to lock our door that leads to their apartment. Well, his little 7 year old girl came down in my apartment while we were sleeping and left a note for us to 'wake up so I can come play with your puppy'. As a parent, how could he allow this? We could have been naked or something lol.
The next day, I let her down here because I felt bad. She wanted to help me put my kitchen stuff away, so because I felt bad, I let her. She dropped a glass Lenox bowl of mine on the kitchen floor and it broke into a million pieces. Her father just stood there and said 'Lets go, so they can clean up' Ummm how about I'm sorry, how much was that? Or, Let me help you? Anything would have been nice! Maybe of your weren't such a drunk, you would have noticed that I was PISSED!
I let it go and DH and I constantly keep our door locked! Now, when his daughter comes to visit (3-5 days/nights a week) she knocks on my door constantly. She must sit at the door all day. She yells at the door 'Jules, Frankie' continuously for hours. I feel bad not letting her down here, but DH and I moved to have our privacy. Not to deal with this!
One day, she had a fit because DH told her she can't play with the dog because I was sick! She threw a temper tantrum in front of DH, me and her father. Screaming and yelling that it's her grandpas house and why can't she come into our apartment. Are we serious?
The next day, I was leaving my house to go to the doctor. I had an allergic reaction and I had hives from head to toe. When I went outside, guess who was sitting on the porch. I tried to act like I didn't see her and she ran up to DHs car and stood in front of the passenger door. Mind you, her father was standing right there. She said 'where are you going'. I told her I was going to the doctor. You know what she said? 'Well, you don't look sick to me'. Ahhhh I wanted to smack her. Then she asked us to unlock the door so she could play with my dog and cat when we weren't home. Of course, when we told her no, she stomped her feet and yelled at us. 'I wanna play with the dog! Daddy, tell them to open the door!' DH said, 'I'm sorry, I'm not' and closed the door. We left as she was screaming and crying.
Since then, all she does is knock on our door all day, every time she's here! (like always) The father never disciplines her at all! She reminds me of the spoiled little brat from Willy Wonka!
On top of all that, maybe 3-4 times a week, his ex-wife comes here as well. For hours and hours, they scream and yell and throw things up there. I don't know what the hell is going on up there at all!
DH and I really don't want to move. Every day my decision is getting closer and closer to a yes. Am I crazy for putting up with this? Should we just move? Or should we say something?
I really feel that I should say something to him, but really it's not my business how they discipline their kid. I don't know exactly how to tell him without being nasty or to invasive. Any suggestions would be great!
I feel better after that vent! TY for reading!
