If your going to rent a room or anything for that matter, read the legal stuff.....and then try and be competent about it.

I am now respectively going to no longer HAVE to worry about this particular problem in three days, as I will legally be moved out and gone.
However.
RENTING SUCKS.
ARCK!

We have a police Escort now to be with use when I retrieve my things. and my mother dearest is NOW driving me to get my things. This has been fun *NOT*

So, I take it you have found a new place for you and Oscar? I hope it works well for both of you.

And yes, renting sucks. But so does owning your own home at times, like when the water heater dies...

Apparently now I owe her $400 dollars for emotional damages and animal abuse. Said dog has never been hurt. I've spent about $500 on her dog, walked said dog every night, and made sure said dog was inside one night after she was to drunk to realize she'd left the dog out.
I have a feeling I'm going to need a police escort to get my things out. I have 48 hours and am only allowed to ENTER on saturday at 8:30am. I cannot get a hold of her reasonable son. Who I think is still Vegas.
Again I'm not sure weather I should call the police ahead of time or just wait and see if this goes okay.

they are not allowed by federal law to keep your belongings.. if they do they can be arrested for theft.. if they have a security they can hold it until a judge makes a decision but it has to be kept in a separate account from theirs. It would be very hard to prove you cause her emotional and physical stress. She would need doctors papers to prove it and then it would be hard to prove it was you. Let her know you just want to move out in peace, make sure to give her your new address and phone number so she can make contact if you donot this could go against her, if you donot want her to have your address just your phone number is enough. If she tries to cause you trouble when you move, then YOU can call the police to assist you.
good luck in your move.. make sure to keep all paper work if you have any on what you have done for her dog and her..

make sure any thing that goes on between the two of you is in a letter form to her.. sign and dated send by sign receipt if you can.

She's been uttering threats all evening.
I am not allowed to have anyone help me move.
No one but me is allowed to enter the house on saturday at 8:30am.
I am not allowed to enter the house on Friday night to begin removing my things I am only allowed to enter on Saturday.
In less I call the police and say she is withholding my items AKA stealing.
I told her I just wanted to get my things and go.
She's just making this into a massive drama fest.
I'm trying to figure out how to blacklist her so others don't get stuck in this trap.
I also have to go as soon as I get can and file for a restraining order.
Seriously this sucks.
We had no written agreement. She unfortunately has my cell phone number, which I now may need to change.
Oscar will be safely here with my parents in till I get this sorted.

I'm confused....
Did you give her 30 days in writing that you were vacating?
Is your rent paid for the month of December?
If so..the room is still yours until the last day of the month...
you should be able to go in and retrieve your stuff until then.
I wouldn't worry about her trying to sue you for emotional upset...heck,
if that were possible..I'd be a rich lady now for all the times I have been
s r e w e d by tenants...

Renting is not always a postive thing, but then, being a landlord is not a bed of
roses either.
We just had a tenant move out...we are having to pay someone to clear his junk out
of the apartment...so far, we have filled a dumpster...and not done yet...guess who
has to pay for that?
Sue him you may suggest? What for, you can't get blood from an apple..or however the saying goes...
Besides the junk he left in the apartment, there is a car in front of the apartment that is a
piece of crap, not driveable..
We called the police for advise on how to get rid of this legally...we have to pay to have it
towed to some impound place.....tenant is never going to want this vechicle....but should
we call someone just to come and get it to crush it for metal, said tenat could come after us
for destroying his property...never mind that said property was abandoned on our property.
I could go on and on and on of the horrors we have been left with when tenants have moved out,
and the destruction and filth...

My dream is for someone to come along and buy this property, so we can be rid of dealing
with these types...
Anyone want a hectar of water front property??
Would make a fantastic site for condos overlooking the bay...

Go get your stuff Jess, while your rent is still paid up..bring your mom and or dad...
and should she give you a problem, call the police and ask for assistance...

Jess, do NOT go alone. She cannot tell you that you cannot bring help to move. And I agree with Joan - if she gives you a problem, call the police. And make sure Oscar is far, far away.

Jess my advice have the police there I did this once when I shared with two guys when young i found out they we growing cannabis under the stairwell and reported them to the drug squad the police were there to escort me safely out. The. Drugs squad swooped. A bit different & she cannot withold your possessions unless you are behind in rent. Always have a tenancy agreement and insist on it. Put this up on the uni notice board too

Hugs mate you will be fine as will Oscar

as I have said and the rest, You have rights, even if you were given notice, you can have as many as you want to help you move.. she cannot dictate to you.. you need to in writing tell her your intent to move , when and that is that.. also call her and tell her if she keeps with the threats, you will have law enforcement come with you.. and to STOP harrassing you. Yes, Joan, sometimes it is the tenant that is the villian. works both ways.. I hope you can sell your place soon, Did that once, it can work for some but a total headache for me...
