My landlord is such a fucking bitch

[naeljun]

And I have up swearing for Lent.

She spoke to new LL and I guess new one told her the rent because my current LL sent me an email saying that the reason she agreed to let me out of lease was because I said I couldn't afford it. My rent is currently 50 less than the new rent. She is upset cause she found out it was more. So she already wasn't giving me back my 1300 security deposit and now she may sue me for rent until it leases again. That's if the new LL even gives me the place. God only knows what she told her.

I explained to bitch that moving to this new place means no more school tuition for DD so that frees up about 500 a month and it is a much better situation for her. Current LL does not have any children and is a cold hearted bitch so I'm not sure she would even understand what a parent would do to create the best situation for their child.

She doesn't want me here. I don't want to be here. I'm sure this place will rent by May 1. She has my security for April rent that she isn't giving back to me. Ughhhh. I cannot stand her.

I'm sorry. I've been having (potential) landlord issues as well. No one wants to rent a tiny apartment to the chick with kids. Can you do any leg work to find a new renter? That's common in my area.

Document everything b/c you know that this LL is going to be shady when you do move out. If you can swing it financially hire a professional cleaning service to come in and do a full cleaning when you leave. Take photos of everything and keep your receipts because if she is pulling this crap now she may try to pursue you for "damages and cleaning fees".

That is exactly what I am doing.

My lease isn't up until July 2015. Stupid me signed a 2 yr when it renewed cause I didn't want my rent to increase. She is already keeping my security and that will cover April. Worst case is she doesn't rent it for May 1

How stressful! Sorry girl. I agree with alleinesein-document and take photos.

I would also check into your state laws. In my state, landlords cannot keep any of the security deposit for anything other than damages, and the responsibility is on them to document all the supposed damages and itemize the charges. Of course, getting that back will require going to small claims court, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it to pursue getting that back.

It is like that in my state but I am breaking the lease.  she has given me permission to do so but has since reneged on it.

chalupa - she actually told me she was going to return my security deposit the beginning of the year. Since I may be moving for April 1, she said that was not enough time to find new tenants so she wasn't giving it back to me. Fine. Keep it. I don't care. I just hope she doesn't sue me for the rest of my lease. It will take me forever to pay that off. I also hope that she does her due diligence and tries to rent the unit in a timely manner. When I called about it, I had to call her RE agent twice before she called me back. I'm going to be sure to tell her that too.

But all this could be a moot point because she may have thrown me under the bus. I mean, how did she find out how much the new rent was? Why did that even come up in conversation? Did she say to the new LL that I am moving because I said I couldn't afford it? If so, why would the new LL think I can afford 50.00 more a month despite my income stating I can? I'm just really, really worried. I'm more worried about not getting the new place for DD than I am about being sued.

Maybe you should call new LL and tell her you had a conversation with your landlord & she's upset because of the higher rent. You told her moving would save you money but didn't give her details...explain why you can afford it and you hope she will still consider you. Maybe if shes hears from you again it will help. good luck!

[turtle1120]

I hope you can work everything out. Saving $500 a month on school tuition for your DD would be HUGE!!!

And yeah, your current landlord sounds like a bitch!

This is my plan today.   I am not worried about affording it.  I honestly can afford what I pay now but I was using that to get out of my lease.   I don't typically lie and this is why. I suck at it.   

chalupa - that is a great idea.   I will offer that to her but I do not think she will agree. There is also no way she would ever agree to a sublet either.

It's in writing right? Then she can't touch you

Yes. It is in writing. I actually think that after I move and the smoke has settled I am going to take her to small claims to get my security back
