The person next door is clearly crazy. But you are "nesting"

I own a nice place I rent out. Every tenant starts out, I love living in your place, your house is so nice. Slowly I get rent with my address on their checks, my address on return envelope, perfectly fine. But slowly it becomes our backyard, or I noticed you said "you own a piece of Grass on side of house" My last tenant I noticed as soon as she called and said in year three her outlet is broken and her toliet is running. I can by to fix as I was free and a sunday, she asked me to take of my shoes, I fixed it and did not even offer a cup of coffee she was drinking. You are in the bitter tenant phase.

Get out an buy a place. My noisy neighbor never ever talks to my neighbors, but she keeps an eye on my place. My tenants come and go every 3-4 years, my neighbor is there for good.

My last tenant they finally bought a house and our very happy. I was glad to be rid of her and her husband.

I did not raise rent for four years, I gave them a good price yet by year two started up with they "our house stuff"

Time to go let the next tenant deal with it. There is an old saying if you try to make a crazy person non-crazy only thing that will happen is you will end up crazy.

You are absolutely ridiculous. It's completely natural for renters to refer to their homes as "theirs". And they are under no obligation to suck up to you, endure your dirty shoes in their place of abode, or offer you a drink, for goodness' sakes! My BIL and MIL are long-time landlords, and they never lord it over their renters as you do. What's wrong with you?

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.

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.

Then you were breaking the law, dimwit.

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?????

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.

Sorry you find it a pain when your tenants comply with state and federal law, and sorry that you failed to comply with said law when you were a tenant. In any case, you are a nutcase and have no business being a landlord.

This is wildly out of line. I’m a renter of a SFH by choice. Meaning I sold my home and decided to rent because I didnt feel like dealing w the headaches of home ownership anymore. I absolutely asked my landlord to take off his shoes when he swung by to fix something and I didnt offer him a drink. I’m doing him a favor by keeping the place as clean and neat as I do (ie no shoes in the house). And the condescension in your post about renters being able to buy a house is ridiculous. Not to go all dcum but I definitely have more money than my landlord. He keeps asking me to buy the house! Just saying don’t be so holier than thou you have no idea why people rent or don’t rent or the decisions they make with their money.

These has to be more to this story. Also, sorry, but it's gross to leave dog poop out in the yard for hours and/or days. Did you do this in the summer too? What other gross habits do you have? I just feel like we're missing something.

Agree. I have a dog and there is nothing that pisses me off more than when I see neighbors see their dog pooping and don't pick it up, even on their property. I also dislike when they pick it up and put their poop bag in my trash receptacle. The poop issue speaks volumes about you. The neighbors sound crazy but that is, unfortunately, what you endure as a renter and live around other renters when you own a home. Save up money for a down payment to buy your own home and check the neighborhood out first to make sure it is not predominated by renters which drive down the value.

Holy hell. No to all of this. Forgetting to pick up poop on your side of the yard does not justify being called the C-word or the B-word. That kind of gender-based hate language is positively, absolutely out of line and has no place in society. At this point, you do not have a problem that needs to be addressed by your landlord. You have a problem that needs to be addressed by the police. The fact that your landlord is BFF with these people and tolerates then calling you the C-word every time they get irritated is despicable. You need to shut this down, now, with a call to the authorities. The next woman who moves in after you won’t deserve to be called those names either.

The landlord who thinks it’s rude for her tenants to use their own address needs to start their own thread.

+1. It's your yard. BUT people on DCUM are so dog poop crazy and get themselves all frantic over dog poop. Pick it up every other day and go on about your life. I would write a letter or email to your landlord with the wording as the PP wrote (especially the trespassing bit) to indicate that these people are trespassing. I would inform the neighbor that if they trespass on your property again I'd call the police. Otherwise I would not engage and keep saving every penny so that i could move.

The thread is too long to catch all the details. I have a suggestion to OP, if it has been mention before, you can ignore it.
I would ask the landload to put up a fence in the backyard. This way, your crazy neighbour cannot walk to your yard any more. Believe me, your landlord may resist at the beginning but the fence will enhance the value for his townhouse so he will thank you. Of couse it depends on the monthly rent. In DMV area, a nice townhouse in a good neighborhood could bring $2500 to $4000 to the landlord. Most landlords value stable and pay-on-time tenants so if you are one of the them your landlord will be happy to keep you.
Leaving poo from your dog is not the best thing to do, but it is on your yard so its your right.
Speaking as a landlord.

This. Call the cops. Nobody gets to call you a c*** like that over something as silly as dog poop.
