Ex-landlord is ghosting me. Will not return phone calls or text messages. The final walk-through was supposed to be Tuesday, but nothing. I still have the keys. She is going to force my hand and make me take her to court to get my deposit back. I am so mad.
Been there. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. In my case she ignored me up until the absolute last day and then came up with a list of BS expenses that ate up my entire deposit.
Just be glad you're a homeowner now and don't ever need to deal with that shit again.
Well unless she is planning on blaming me for the leaking/bad roof and the termite damage there is nothing that she can add up to amount $1050. I scrubbed the fuck out that place, patched all the holes and took care of the lawn. I am very glad that I don't have to deal with a landlord ever again, but frustrated that she is ghosting me after she made such a big deal assuming that I wasn't going to pay her rent, getting mad about me pro-rating the rent and then telling me that I get my deposit back after the walkthrough.
Plus side, I have all that on in writing since I only deal with her through my text messages.

You'd be surprised. I was only there for a few months and the house was over 100 yrs old, she blamed all the wear and tear of that old house on me (as I'm sure she did to everyone else before me). As well as throwing in a new fridge because hers had a drip inside. LOL. This BS was after we had already done the walkthrough and she said the place was the cleanest she'd ever seen it.
People are terrible. I hope yours is less terrible than mine was and is either getting the money together or is just being very flakey.

She is terrible. I discovered the termites in September and she has never gotten anyone out. The room leaks whenever it storm bad and under the sink leaks, all of which she never did anything about. When I told her I put in my notice via certified mail (which she refused to pickup) she told me that she didn't accept it at first. Yelled and assumed a bunch of shit through text messages. She is pretty fucking horrible... Oh and batshit crazy. The reason I don't call her is you never know which version of her you will get.
I am 100% positive that she simply does not have the money and is hoping that I just drop it. She is going to get a rude awaken when she gets summoned to court and I have pictures of the house after I left that she refused to do a walkthrough on and I win. She's going to have to pay my deposit back and my court fees. If she did the walkthrough and tried that, I would still take her to court. New Orleans court for housing 90% of the time side with tenants. You have to have been a pretty shitty tenant not to win. I am just mad that she is forcing my hand, especially since she straight up told me I would get my deposit back after the walkthrough. That is what is pissing me off the most. If you know you don't have the money, than why give me shit about the last month's rent, which I was paying anyway, do the right thing tell me to not pay rent and not expect my deposit back. Fucking broke-ass slumlord trying to get over on someone.
The landlord did a "walkthrough" while I was at work. I had to text whether she went or not. Came back with bullshit excuses, like trash in the lawn...we mowed and cleaned a week ago, you know when I moved out. Told her to email me an itemized list and that I had before and after photos.
Guess I'm officially taking her to court. I already have a lawyer friend helping me out. Just really didn't want it to end the way. I paid my last month's rent, I cleaned the fuck out of that place. It had termites and the roof leaks while we lived there that she never took care of and she's still trying to keep my deposit. Only good thing is, I never have to deal with a horrible slumlord again.
I've been living in my current place of residence for a little over three years now. All five of us are people who found the rooms on Craigslist and moved in at different times. We're all just random people to each other, and we all keep to ourselves, aside from an occasional "hello" in the hallways. It's not an ideal living situation, but it's usually manageable. I can adapt.
Except the lack of cleanliness is absolutely unbearable.
It has gotten So. Fucking. Bad. During my entire stay here I've been one of the primary ones to clean the kitchen, and though it was annoying sometimes, I didn't mind TOO much because other people would at least take out trash/recycling, clean the bathroom, and would clean the kitchen every once in a while. And too be fair, dishes are a chore I prefer to do. Nothing was ever assigned and we never really talked about it too much, but past iterations of roommates at least knew how to be decent fucking people and keep the house functioning.
But not anymore.
The current group of roomies has been here for about a year now, and in the span I think someone other than I has run the dishwasher once, MAYBE twice. And I'll run the dishwasher, and then will anyone else put the clean dishes away? NOOOOOOOO those dishes just go in the sink, because fuck it. So then the dishes pile up, leaving me to empty the dishwasher because I'm apparently the only one here capable of seeing past my own nose (which, coincidentally, tends to get all wrinkled up when I come downstairs and the kitchen smells like filth).
So you'd think that with a now-empty dishwasher, people would put their dirty sink dishes away, right? NOOOOOOO those dishes stay in the sink, because fuck it. Until I have to cook, of course. I don't like cooking among days-old food-encrusted counter-and-sink dishes, so I get to play Magical Cleaning Fairy again! YAAAAAAY ME! Wash, rinse, repeat. Literally.
And yes, I realize that me taking care of their dishes enables the situation and allows it continue. But I've tried everything. I've been nice; I've been not-nice. I've tried organizing a household chore calendar just so shit gets done. I've tried just simply not doing it to see if someone else is actually capable of giving a fuck (they're not).
But we have ants now - sink, counters, kitchen table. And a mouse. It's gross. I'm not a neat freak by any means, but Jesus Christ, people. The kitchen looking like an episode of Hoarders is not okay.
I'm seriously considering moving all of my dishes and pans and stuff into my room, washing them by hand as soon as I'm done with them, and keeping them to myself. Then all other dishes (and food, and boxes, and wrappers) that get left out I'll just put in a trash bag and leave it in a corner of the kitchen until someone is forced to fuck-give due to a lack of kitchenware. Yes, I realize that's insane, and I might be a crazy person. But I also just got done picking other people's dirty napkins and food-waste up off the floor and emptying out the two overflowing trash cans and recycling bins (because I'm the only one here who cares about such things) as well as doing the dishes for the umpteenth time, and that shit will make a man fucking nuts.

I fucking hate roommates. I'm so sorry. I'm messy (clutter not food stuff) but that is crazy town. Idk what to say but fuck. Can you call a roomie meeting? Not that it'll help...gross those people are gross. Sorry honey.
The fact that it was functional without planning before is kind of miraculous, maybe just try to talk to everyone and assign some tasks. It's easy just to assume someone else will do it but if they know they're supposed to do it it's harder to blow off
i usually don't get so personal on here, but i'm not fully prepared to have conversations with people in real life about this, so here goes. it had been a rough few years for my family, as we suffered several huge losses. in the fall, one of my sisters got married and the other had a beautiful baby. it seemed like everything was starting to turn around. then at the end of the year, we found out that my dad has cancer. some family now knows, but i have not yet shared this with anyone. he is finally starting radiation treatment today, and we'll go from there. it all feels real now. i don't really know what to do, but i needed to actually say it somewhere.

Oh Beebee, I'm very sorry to hear this. Can't even imagine how hard it's been. Your dad and family will be in my thoughts. Thankfully your dad has people as awesome and strong as you and your sister to lean on for support.

Hugs and love and all the positive vibes to you and your family.
Mentioned above I threw out my back. I went to the ER today, they think I have a herniated disc but my insurance won't cover an MRI.
Wtf.
So, I guess it's more missed days of work and eating muscle relaxers at this point.
That sucks homie. Do whatever you can to elongate the spine and put space between your disks. Lie down on your back pull your knees to your chest and when you put them back leave your knees bent and even put a pillow under your backside. Anything to get that space happenin and the pressure off the disks.
Will your insurance cover chiropractic care? I found, for myself, that to be very effective with back issues. Hope you get to feeling better!

Bee I am so sorry to hear this. That has to be incredibly tough. It must be a great comfort and source of strength for him to have the support of your family to rally and shower him with love through this process.
Please let us know if we can do anything at all to be of any help, for you or him. As you know, we've been known to send loads of notes of encouragement and cards from strangers before, and we're definitely willing to do it again! Or anything else you think might cheer him up
Sending you the biggest hugs and hopes for healing <3

See if they will cover (or if you can spring out of pocket for) physical therapy. I have herniated discs, and a few months of bi-weekly physical therapy and the occasional acupuncture appointment completely alleviated my symptoms. I haven't taken any pain meds for it in over two years, so I'd say it's worth a shot! I was amazed at the results (still am, honestly).
In the meantime, have you tried using a TENS machine? It could help alleviate some of the pain and wean you off the painkillers a bit (I know those can be their own special kind of hell).

Thanks for sharing and yes most indeed fuck cancer. Thoughts with your Pop and the rest of the family yoh!

Hubby's 2 week old (new to us) truck got broken into last night. Sooooooo frustrating! It doesn't look like they took anything, either. Just did lots of damage.

It does, and he's sooooo in love with it too (we'd both been driving absolute beaters until very recently). So it stings a little extra to finally have something nice and have it get beaten up by some jerk.

I left my doors open and my car got rummaged through a couple months ago. I can't even imagine them actually breaking into my car. I felt seriously violated and had panic attacks before falling asleep due to it; Jeremy ended up putting a key on our headboard so I could ease my worry.
I am so sorry this happened to y'all and then having to either file a claim or pay outright to fix where they broke in. What a fucking headache. People are fucking assholes and have no respect anymore. The good thing is there was nothing to take. Hopefully you can get it fixed quickly and you won't lose any sleep over it. Quick question, did the alarm go off when they broke in? I am not sure how all that works.

My car will be 14 years old this summer. I'm probably going to have to replace it in the next couple of years, but I almost hate to because it's kind of nice to not be worried bad things happening to it (although, of course, there is a not-insignificant worry that it's just going to crap out on me and leave me stranded somewhere one day).

Oh I have had that happen, totally not fun. But at least there are cell phones now, and you don't have to rely on the kindness of strangers. Good luck.

It had some crap from my old car in it, which he cleared from my old car to show it to prospective buyers yesterday. They must've rifled through it and deemed nothing worth taking (it's just stuff that had been living in the trunk of my old car for months lol). So annoying. We usually don't keep anything in either of our cars, but yesterday was a fluke.
