Omg, this! Your address is on your tenants checks? Your address is on the return address on the envelope? What address SHOULD they put on these things? Your entire post is beyond petty and you sound like you despise being a landlord. Setting your tenants up for failure from the moment they move in (by 3 months they're doing this, etc). Keeping a running tally of BS like this is so passive-aggressive -- why not have the balls to actually say something to them? And I have news for you... if they're paying you rent every month, it IS their home for the period that they paid, period. |
| Also the same address on their license, I’d imagine. |
| The OP sounds like the neighbor from helllllll actually. |
| She may have some dementia. Treat her like she’s crazy, which she sounds, and ignore as much as you can. Pick up the poop. Document any issues. Get out of that place as soon as you find somewhere to move. |
I rented myself many years, 14 years. Landlords I never contacted, most part I did not know who owned building. I did not register my car, vote or use building for tax address or paychecks. I lived several buildings so a pain to keep switching. I have rented to three newlywed couples. Nesting starts innocently, address in checks, buying mailing envelopes, using address paychecks, then tax return. Then the weirdness as calling it their kitchen, their toilet. It moves on to thanksgiving at their house, onto asking for a pet. Next asking to change things, like one did built into bookshelves, slowly becomes resentment to writing you a check each month, to anger as home prices rise and they debate having a kid in apartment. Till the end of relationship where you stop raising rents. I have rented till three newlywed couples. All great, but between years 3-5 same thing. I am a better tenant. Last place I lived 300 miles away, only slept in unit four days a week, no mail or guests. My relationship as tenant I want nothing to do with owner. My relationship as landlord, you are a head on a bed, just sleep there till you buy a house. Don’t nest. |
You are either a troll or an idiot. Unless you are running a hotel, you should expect your tenants to use their rental property address as their address. Indeed, to the best of my knowledge, you are required to use your current address for tax purposes. In any event, if you're really this f'ing stupid, I hope you have adequate litigation reserves set aside for when one of your tenants hauls your slumlord ass into court. |
You want to run a hotel, not be a landlord. My apartment is where I live, my only address. Of course I register my car, get my mail, and host Thanksgiving at my apartment. Where else would I do those things? |
This post is beyond insane. You're not running a hotel or an AirBnb. They are within their legal rights to have their rental address on anything-- from return labels to voter registration. And yeah, they can also host Thanksgiving at THEIR place if they want to. Seriously: WTF? This is so crazy I want to believe it's a troll but sadly don't think so. I have been both a renter and a landlord, and I am deeply disturbed by this attitude. |
| The landlord poster on here is legit nuts. Fretting over renters “nesting” and acting as if tenants should behave as house guests as opposed to someone in their own. Heaven forbid someone who is a renter *gasp* file a tax return or have family over for Thanksgiving. |
| *their own home |
This was my first though. If this is a sudden change in behavior, she is likely in decline. |
You're a lunatic. You're supposed to inform the DMV of a physical address change within 30 days. It also sounds like you voted illegally in the wrong district. |
So what address DID you use for voting and vehicle registration? These things require a PHYSICAL address where you live. Oh, let me guess. You were also renting out a property so you used the address of the property other people were living in as your home address????? |
| The poop is in your rented yard. There is no problem with just cleaning it up every few days or on the weekends. Your neighbor is crazy! |
In my case like everyone else I knew at time my address was my parents house till I was married. My car registered and insured there. I never had parking at any of my apartments so my car was at parents house. After graduation, I lived in apt then moved home, back to a coop I bought, sublet that, moved to another apt then back to coop then bought a house. It is a massive pain to keep switching stuff. I have never met my tenants, I live in another state. I am hardly a helicopter landlord. I personally find it a headache when folks put stuff in my apartments name. My tenant who knows what they are up to. My realtor said she told them i live out of state. Have no one watching over unit or maint person. They told realtor they value their privacy. I fully expect something funky when they move out of my fully furnished unit. Hopefully my TV, phone, paintings, carpeting, beds, dining room set, my coaches are not messed up. I am pissed over WFH as not they are home all the time. There right, but when you rent fully furnished. Kids, pets, wfh not as desirable due to wear and tear. Best tenant ever. My brother had one who rented a whole house as a single person!! Was Heaven. |
