landlord from HELL

My new landlord is really getting on my last nerve,I haven't even moved into my place because I'm limited with help,so I haven't had any of my utilities turned on cause I'm not in the house yet,so he calls me out no where saying I need to have them turned on ,well wtf if I'm not moved in yet why would I have them turned on? I got so mad I really had to bite my tongue on this,I think he's gonna be the landlord from hell, I mean give me a freaking break!I'm doing my very best to get into the house as soon as possible,I just have my 2kids and my mom helping me,I'll be so happy when my husband is back so he can set him straight..cause this is really stressing me out!!!! If I didn't need a place I'd ask for my money back!! Its like he's rushing me,how can you rush a pregnant woman who is already going threw enough? Smh..

Here's my thing about this post. Wtf does it have to do with pregnancy? Nothing. When people post about their husbands, baby's father's, etc it's typically related to their pregnancy. So calm down, move on and remember this is a pregnancy forum, not your personal Facebook.

Haha good Lord this pregnant woman is hormal as h*** haha wow... ok sweetie no one was attacking you, all they were trying go do is give you GOOD SOUND ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS. yes you are right, anytime anyone else wants to vent they nornally put that its just a vent and no suggestions needed but you didnt therefore all these good supportive women werw teying to do was help you out and suggest things and give tou advice to help you out. Your the one who flippes out to everything anyone said. Goodness woman just calm down and do the crap yourself, bottom line is hes the landlord and if he wants things done a certain way then not much you can do but do it his way, nornally when you have a labdlord whose old af they are anal as heck and want things done their way whether it makes sense or not. Sorry your dealing with someone like this hopefully it gets better but take a chill pill and stop taking everthing the wrong way and from now on of you dont want feedback then make sure you say it first ok? Good luck and stay calm haha

Wow, it sounds like the landlord could do better at talking to you and being more comprehensive of the situation your currently in.  And by talking I mean he should explain why he has the urge of you turning on services. Really,  to me it makes absolutely no sense- and we move around so often (4 times in the last yr) and never had this issue. I assume you'd still have to pay rent when it's due whether your living in it or not. All I can suggest to you is sleep it off and maybe tomorrow you can give him a call and ask what the rush is. From there you have the upper hand at reminding him you need a little more time.  Just remember it's all in choosing "kinder" words so you can get your point across. And on the other hand if I may add- I know it makes it a little more frustrating when people tell you to calm down,  it really has the opposite effect- but don't let it get to you,  you have two kids and baby on the way and they can sense/feel your frustration. I really hope this turns out well for your family.  Feel free to message me if you ever need someone to listen, best wishes! ;)

It must depend where you come from for the utilities I didnt pay a thing for mine until I started using them

If you have the utilities turned on but not using them yes you are still paying for them. They charge you for delivery meaning being able to have the heat or gas there when you flick a switch read your bill. Second I don't understand what's his deal with him wanting it on if you paid your money one you should have keys and turn your stuff on whenever you move in.  Who would have utilities turned on in a place before you move in glad I am not in that state. But last I understand where your coming from and understand you needed to vent. Everyone has an opinion like they have an ******* meaning everyone has one. All the pregnancy forms are the same mean bitter females attacking each other. Thankful for a job and family so I don't sit on here and get caught up in the battles of nothing. Good luck girl it will work out.

I really think u need to calm down because if the lease is in your name and or the keys is in your possession the utilities should also be in your name not his he has that right as the renter lashing out at ppl because they don't agree with u is dumb

If you turn utilities on....but they arent getting used...will there be any charges?
I mean I had gas heat turned on in june but never used it until like november since my stove and water heater are electric. I think I only had the taxes and service fees as a bill. Cant charge me for things Im not using.

Have you tried to sit down with him face to face and explain the issues you are having with trying to move in. He maybe able to find someone to help you. Explaining to him may help h see where you are coming from as well as why he needs it turned over into your name. Just take it easy and deep breaths and keep your cool during the talk.
Taking other ppls advice can be hard especially if it's something you don't want to hear. We are here to help one another and to give others hope when they feel at a lost. Pregnancy is tough on everyone and we need each other the most during this time. Just listen to others saying... you don't have to take their advice just say thank you and I will think on it.. it will keep everyone from fighting. Good luck!

You do realize everyone who has commented has suggested calming down and doing your best, to not stress and take it one day at a time? All anybody has done is give suggestions on his possible motive, but it seems that because people are not agreeing with your opinion of him just being a jerk you are getting angry. I'm sorry you've let it upset you that much, I will not even make another suggestion as that is obviously not what you want. Just want to wish you luck and hope it doesn't cause to much more stress, hope it gets resolved soon. :)

I always thought this site was for adults so presumed that there would be some maturity...obviously not.  People are giving you their opinion on the situation but instead of talking to people and explaining your situation your just pounding straight on top of them.  Have you thought that maybe you shouldnt have gotten the keys until everything was packed up at your old place it is generally a normal thing that utilities are turned into tour name as soon as you get the keys and if your not using any of them like you say whats it matter if theyre turned on or not it isnt hunna costyou anything

Ok when every damn body else vents here they aren't attacked,ppl talk about their husbands and how their not supportive,they talk about their jobs among others things..so why is it when I say something about my damn situation.. I'm wrong? I guess if I talking about how bad my husband treats me or something it would be accepted...really girl? Ok I'll be the bad guy..it's really funny how far this has gotten..however it doesn't matter cause I'm not moving until I'm ready:) so comment until you're water breaks I really don't care..you know nothing about me or my situation:) now you can consider that as being attacked cause I'm tired of the comments!saying I'm attacking ppl..whoop there it is!lmao

You arent attacking people, you are just unsatisfied by their responses. If you didnt want them,  maybe venting here wasnt the right choice. Dont let your emotions control you  its simple.  If you weren't ready, things shouldnt have happened house wise. Theres really nothing more to it. Especially if you have people around you that dont want to help.  Your smiley faces show the rude and unappreciative in your comment due to you being unhappy at the truth. Worried momma was right. On all levels. It is not all about you. Sorry to break it to you.

Hi preggo1980 I work for an apartment complex and if utilities are off for so lomg they require you to get permits maybe thats why he wants you to turn them on. Maybe if you told him a date that you were moving in it might have coincided with the dates. I dont think you should be upset because it is just business but that is my opinion.  Maybe you should try not to rent from a private landlord but from a complex. Good luck
