mtnmanseth 0 Posted December 16, 2015 Hey gang - I’m currently embroiled in an epic housing disaster… I allowed a woman to move into my place on the beach in Encinitas on December 1st who I’m now sure is actually the devil. I believe she’s trying to steal/strong-arm my home, and I’ve hired an attorney to assist me. Unfortunately, co-tenant laws provide me zero additional rights to the place as the longtime incumbent tenant, so I’m now considering letting the terrorists win by moving out. This is a very long/shitty story that I can explain some other time - ALWAYS GET IMPORTANT VERBAL AGREEMENTS IN WRITING. Anyway, just letting my friends know that I may need a room to rent beginning mid-Jan or February 1. I do require garage space for 2-3 dirt bikes and a little storage. Prefer to stay in North County, but really don’t care as long as it’s north of downtown. If you know any friends or colleagues with a room/property to rent starting mid-Jan or February 1, please let me know. (I'm mid-30s, like beer/bacon, employed fulltime by the same engineering firm for 11 years, have excellent credit/references) Please PM me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 405 Posted December 16, 2015 you already have the correct attitude don't waste your life energy (and $$) fighting for a "win".......get you stuff and give the "it" the old finger wave on the way out. PS my casita does not fit your needs...otherwise door is open for emergency egress/temp stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afry 1 Posted December 16, 2015 Are you still on the lease? If so your on the hook for any damages or failure to pay rent in the future. Try and negotiate you way off the lease before moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtnmanseth 0 Posted December 16, 2015 I'm month-to-month, so moving out is not a problem. I've been there without a single problem, missed payment, or anything for 2.5 years. Soon as I give my 30-day notice, I'm off the hook for rent payment after 30-days. The problem with co-tenant laws/leases (aka housemate leases) is that when a crazy person moves in and just decides "Nope, I'm not paying what we agreed anymore", then the other co-tenant (me in this case) is 100% responsible to cover all rent. Before she moved in she was sweet and seemed reliable/reasonable. I entrusted this person to keep her agreement and made a horrible mistake of not getting a housemate agreement signed before she signed the lease with the property manager (a real POS who totally completely dodged all responsibility to mediate/assist me in this instance). Always protect yourself! Always always get things in writing! But... Even if I would have got a housemate agreement before her lease was signed, it would only help in Small Claims Court, as I would still be on the hook to cover 100% of rent when she decided not to pay. The property manager only cares that 100% of rent is paid. If it's World War 3 at one of their rentals? "You guys are on your own." So bummed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted December 16, 2015 Look on the bright side. This happened to me......after 10 years......and she got more than half of everything I had. I like beer and bacon now, too. I'm completely outta your 'hood but temp storage for 1 bike avail. Beer, bacon, Jacuzzi, avail. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted December 16, 2015 (a real POS who totally completely dodged all responsibility to mediate/assist me in this instance). Sorry this is happening- I know it sucks. Having been a landlord, the only position worse than yours is that of the property manager who gets themselves involved in these problems. I wouldn't accept co-tenants at all- I wanted one name on the lease and the same name for the deposit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dylan 0 Posted December 17, 2015 If you're 16 days into the move in and ALREADY having issues, take the high road and put in your notice NOW. Get out ASAP. Been there, done that. Never got the T-shirt. Plan a day when she is out of the house, and get your important stuff in storage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
