Ok feel a bit calmer after my 3 hours of sleep. I'd apologize for the post below but I can't. It's just my temper. Just be glad you weren't here to see it live and in person. Yeah...not a great night in Tammi's World.
Now that I've settled down a bit I can see that I've got to follow through with this. I truly believe this guy thinks he has all the power. He has made two mistakes. Judging me based on where I live and underestimating me.
I'm a nice girl....until you put me in the corner.
I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that he made it personal in his letter. He stated he feels I have a "hidden agenda". Oh there is nothing hidden about it. I said flat out that I was looking to move. I told him how horrible this place is.
He said I didn't say anything about any of these problems during the inspection. Yes, yes I did...but also I am just the tennent. He, at that time was the prospective buyer. It wasn't my place to do that.
He said I told him I would install new locks. No. I said I would install new security latches for when I was home. They don't do a damned thing when I'm gone. WHY would I install new locks?
OK....I could go on and on. But I won't. I'm just so upset that he is reacting this way. That he's slingin' mud this way.
I don't like to get mad. I don't like to be a bitch. But I'm gonna have to. Someone needs to take this guy down a peg or two. Guess it's gonna be me... but damn.

Nobody puts Tammi in the Corner!
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
As for the landlord. Pictures, document everything and try not to cave in. Most of the times they hope this type of stuff gets settled before court. You might also want to look into a counter suit for court costs/fees.

You go get that bastid. And you have nothing to apologize for. I'd have used a lot more f'bombs. Aheh.

Good luck!! :)
Tammi!
The landlord sounds like my ex-husband. Take him down, girl! I feel your pain so much! I'm in a few fights right now, and, man, IT SUCKS ASS. Good luck and DO NOT give up!
Tammi, I am glad you are feeling better. Trust me you were not to terrable to whitness. I prolly would have been throwin' stuff. You took it pretty well. We're here, and on your side. Love ya...
