Use Money, Love People – Not Love Money, Use People

If this web presence prevented landlord/owner from abusing another person, taking advantage of another family while he chased money, then it served its purpose.

To Landlord/Owner – We saw you at Chick-fil-a recently. The terrible feelings that were stirred as we stood and watched you go from your cheep into the store cannot be described. With your hauling lumber for another hackjob project, we could only imagine the house cringing again when you pulled into the driveway that day.

Please don’t do what you did to us to any other.

Finally, ask yourself at least, at last:

“Do I own this property, or does this property own me”?

Beware the Ides of March

doorframeI’ve always been apprehensive on March 15. Today gave good reason to continue that sensibility. Landlord comes on property to play with his pool pump still. He persists in stating that “someone” broke it. Yet, after looking him in the eyes, standing my ground, averring that no one, neither me, husband or our pool man did so, he finally admitted, “Well, come to think of it, a man I had here five or six years ago broke a piece off.” In utter disbelief and disgust, not just at hearing another lie but in that he wholeheartedly committed himself to that lie for years, I proceeded to close the door. He then took his whole body and forcibly barreled through the front door, bending the metal closure on the door frame, and his force had the door send me sailing backward into a stack of boxes. After recovering myself, I went to the telephone to call the police. Landlord taunted me, “Call the police, go ahead. This is my property.” We had been subject to landlord’s bad temper for years, which culminated in this incident, documented as police report of battery against tenant.
