[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid just learned a hard life lesson. Next time she'll ask about rules and the addition of other tenants.  The rules are a bit crazy but don't esclate the situation until you see how the LL is enforcing them. I think there's a good chance that the LL won't actually enforce the rules.  It is a pain to move so just see how it goes and wait until there is a real problem to freak out.[/quote]

I agree - PPs have to relax a bit. If the house is in a safe, convenient location, that's worth something - but not being harassed. Landlord sounds extreme, but he or she might enforce the rules loosely having seen how well the girls keep the house.

Honestly this sounds typically like someone who has had serious problems before, and will scare the renters straight by visiting at the beginning, then loosening up. Your DD may be on her best behavior for the next couple of weeks, and quite likely will be able to relax for the rest of the year.

The truth is, there is more than the law to this. There are social cues and tacit understandings and the building of trust. All great life lessons. And since red flags have been raised from the start, you will be ready to act if there is need.
