Further Adventures in Tenancy
Bucky bird

Landlord's worker showed up this morning, replaced some outlets, went outside to wait for landlord.

Landlord finally showed up, VERY angry. Claimed we were late on rent - he "didn't receive" the certified letter, that he had moved three years ago and the address on the lease was no longer valid. We moved into this house - and got the lease with his mailing address on it - two years ago. He also claimed he had told us he had moved. (If he'd moved a year before we moved in, though, why would he?)

Landlord also claimed that we were not permitted to have pets. We signed a paper when we moved in, listing the names, breeds, sexes and ages of our cats. He claims we never did, "and judges don't go for that sort of thing!"

He took issue with many of the items on the City Inspectors' report and yelled at me about them. But, you know, that's his problem.

After about an hour of fury, he suddenly changed personalities and wanted to "start from scratch" and let bygones be bygones. But then he said "I didn't give you permission to paint the walls," even though he most certainly did.
