[quote=Anonymous]My DD had a landlord like this for her off campus house and it was an absolute nightmare and a constant fight.  Landlord refused to abide by her own lease.  We knew that our DD and her roomates were in the right and we constantly raised objections - but it is unecessary stress for kids trying to balance grades and, in DD's case, a sport.  Eventually, we mutually agreed that the girls would move out and she could keep 50% of the deposit as a lease termination fee.  Over a year later, we still get emails from her saying the girls owe her for this or that.

Examples:

1.  Landlord or her college age son would drop by unannounced and come in with a key in non-emergency situations.  VERY scare for 3 college age women to come downstairs and see her son in the home.

2.  She would tell the girls where the furniture had to be placed and she approved every piece of furniture brought in.

3.  The maid, her sister, who was only supposed to clean common areas, would enter the girls' rooms without permission and take pictures.

4.  She got mad with the girls for something and cut off the cable/internet at the junction box.  Problem was that the cable was in the girls' names and she violated the cable company policy by doing that.

5.  She tried to evict the girls for inviting one of the girls' family for dinner, including her grandparents.  She claimed it violated the "no party" clause in the lease.  Besides that, she failed to follow state law in evicting the girls.  It resulted in $500 fines foe that she tried to pass on to the girls.

Funny though, DH is a RE lawyer and he responded to every infraction by letter - he specifically told the girls not to engage her and to tell her they were repped by counsel.  Drove her nuts!
