The Dictator

By anonymous - 18/01/2012 05:06 - United States

Today, I discovered that my new landlords must meet and approve guests of mine before they come over, and guests are not allowed when they aren't home or past 11pm. I'm 25 years old and just moved out of my parents' home to get away from my controlling mother. FML

Are you renting an entire apartment, or are you renting a room in someone's house? If you're renting an apartment, then the space is functionally yours and your landlord has no business who comes and goes provided your guests don't disturb the other tenants in the building, and that you're not having extra people living there in violation of your lease. If you're renting a room in someone else's house, where you and your landlord have access to common living space in the same house, then yes, your landlord can make rules and the rules can be pretty arbitrary.

Did you sign something with this on it? If you did, deal with it, if you didn't and this was not discussed before you moved in, surely this would be grounds to break your lease?

Wow. Time to find another apartment. Better hurry before they tell you what to eat for breakfast and what color underwear you should wear on Thursday.

Maybe your mother put them up to it? I would hate to think if that was true though.

I think as long as he was paying rent in his parents house, then it shouldn't matter if he was still living at home.

I'm know several ppl who couldn't afford to move out until way past age 25--and here in nj it's even more difficult to afford to move out--if you were able to move out than good for you congratulations--meanwhile some of us don't even make $200 a week--who can live off that?

YDI if you put up with that. You're a tenant and pay for the space, which makes it yours. Either you leave or tell the landlord that they're overstepping and you won't be following this BS.

Tell them to butt out or move out. Those are your options.
