Before going into the house, I cleaned up a bunch of trash that had been scattered from a garbage bag we left sitting outside (damn animals). I had gotten everything but two pieces of newspaper that were about halfway across the yard, and I decided to leave them there until I left the house, because I didn’t want to get mud on my shoes and track it into the house.
I had just finished up cleaning and was in the process of taking pictures of every room, because I don’t trust the landlord, M, and his wife, D, to not go in there and come up with some bogus damage. And speaking of the devil, don’t M and D decide to show up at that precise moment?
M comes in screaming at me for still being there and telling me that I had to leave immediately, I should have been out the night before, what if they were coming to show the place to someone, I have a lot of nerve, blah blah blah blah blah. Now, in the past there was one time when he came over to “talk” to us and ended up screaming at me, but I remained mild and almost submissive, as I didn’t want to upset him since we had to live there, under their thumb practically. Now? I didn’t give two fucks. I told him to his face that I was there for his benefit, so that he and D didn’t have to go around cleaning. And furthermore, according to the lease and eviction notice, I had until 11:59pm of that day, not the day before. He stomped out, slamming the door behind him.
At this point my mom arrived, as she wanted to get in touch with me and I had forgotten my cell phone. She told M and D that she was staying out of it, so they didn’t snarl at her. At that point, M stomped off to call “The Owner” (I swear, they treat the actual owner of the house and all like God; it’s sickening) and D started muttering and cursing about “all of the trash in the yard” and bitching at her kids to stay in the car.
I gathered the last of the things, picked up the two pieces of trash in the yard – without bothering to explain why I left it there, as I figured the explanation would fall on deaf ears – turned over the keys, ignored D’s bitching and threats of taking us to court over us being there after the lease/eviction notice “expired”, said hi to M and D’s kids (no reason to put the kids in the middle of something so petty), and left.
I am so glad we are done with their bullshit. Good riddance!

Emma – probably not. The Owner (seriously; they capitalize that in their emails to me!) doesn’t give two shits as to what is going on as long as the money is being collected each month. I’m certain that M did that just to make a big show of it all.
You had to deal with some serious assholes, for real. Makes we weary about renting. 4 years ago my mother & I had to put up with an ass of a landlord. He’d turn the heat off during the day because he figured “no one’s at home during the day”, so we FROZE. He THREATENED to accuse my boyfriend of break ins made around the building if he didn’t stay away. He typed unprofessional letters to my mother, saying so, addressing him as “that boy”. How dumb is that to write that you’re going to blame someone for break ins if he doesn’t stay away from the building? He would have been laughed at in court. Some Christian he was…I was overjoyed to move into a house my Junior year.
GOOD RIDDANCE AND THANK GOODNESS FOR HOME OWNERSHIP!
As for me, my time will come *sigh*.

I find it to be the best that I’ve gone through.
Doesnt it feel good to own your own home? No more BS like that! I admire you guys!
They are so mean! If this was in school two years ago I’d slap their faces!
*offers ice-cream to soothe the soul :P*
Ugh! They should have been happy that you were there cleaning up and taking care of things for them. What a bunch of petty little bitches if you ask me. I would sooo like to take my foot and stick it you know where. Thank GOD you are out of there, and I’m so glad you stood up for yourself!
Oh they are emailing you too? Wow. I love having the shitty emails people send me to back me up and make them look like the white trash losers they are. I mean that’s what these two sound like. And I say this only because a true white trash loser uses the term “I’m going to sue you” for this and that and everything like these people seem to do.
Would they really even have the right to sue you? Would that not be up to the OWNER and are they too stupid to figure out that the owner would more than likely not waste his money for such senseless drivel? I mean that penalty for not being out on time is what? Pro rated rate for a day?
Those people sound like a couple of jerks. I probably would have told them off if they came in yelling at me. Oh well, at least you don’t have to deal with them anymore..:D
OMG. you are lucky you don’t have to put up with THAT anymore!!! u must be happy. 
i honestly don’t get people. I just don’t.
I’m glad your out of that over-bearing situation .. its just like you said, sickening.
ugh, geez. How can some people be so awful? Did anything ever come of them calling The Owner?
