Gave landlord 30days notice-now being given a hard time!
Hi
I am in need of some help and advise.
I was in a verbal contract with my landlord- just month to month. Since I moved in on July 7,2008 he has not done anything agreed upon. For example- when I moved in he had his personal belongings all over(they were supposed to be moved out)- I had to move them out and box them myself as he never did it. I have another room that I pay extra for that is full of his crap- he recetley went in it and took his winter coats out- I never gave permission and he never bothered to remove anything else. This list goes on too...
I have decided to move and have giving my 30 day notice. Since I have given it to him, he has become a huge jerk.
I have horses on the property. He was supposed to build a separate area for them to be turned out in so they could be apart from his horses. He never did so we have "been taking turns " with the use of the pasture(he has 2 horses also). Well since I gave my notice he told me I can no longer use the pasture and my horses could sit in there stalls till they leave. Can he do this? Is this legal? What can I do about it? I feel horrible for my animals. He also parked his tractor right in front of there doors so I can barley get them out- they can get out but it is a tight squeeze.
Also we have well water and he can control the pressure from inside his house. He has now re-adjusted it to were my shower turns on for one min and then off for 20 seconds and then on again for a min and so forth. Is this legal and can he do this? The water pressure has never been great, but it has never been this bad!
I also saw my apartment advertised in the paper- my horses are leaving before me (since they can no longer go out I have no choice)- and he has the barn area avail to rent 2 days after the horses leave- even though I paid rent for that already. Can he rent something I already paid for even though I am not using it? He also has my apt advertised avail for the 1st. I am paid through the 7th.
The house is connected and I live on the other half. He is making it very uncomfortable for me to be there. I feel he has anger issues and is a control freak, there is a lot more that has happened since I moved in also... I didn't move out sooner because I didn't have the money to move- just to move the horses is 200$. Any help please? What can I or should I do?
One last question- if he wants to show the apt to people do I have to let him? I do not feel comfortable with it, esp if I am not there.
