Predictions

So I was in a nasty mood today,
I have to move out of my new place cos the stupid landlords decided to make up a list of rules and regulations for me to sign.
These were the ones I had problems with:
1. Do not use the washer and dryer
2. The kitchen cabinets are off limits
3. No friends allowed.
See, the landlords live in the same house with the tenants that is why they saw it fit to make up these kind of rules.
I refused to sign it cos i'm not gonna be deprived of the rent I am paying.
So, fuck them, and i'm moving out. Wish I could get my own place so that I don't have to go thru all this.

Not too long ago, I wrote a blog about bad landlords, not knowing that a few weeks later, I would be in the same position.

I Wanna Love

I remember the first time I fell in love. He felt the same way about me. But it did not last due to distance.
I have not really felt the same way about other guys since then. There have been some that I extremely liked but not loved. Even the relationship I am currently in.
Wanted to share this video because it reminded me of what it felt like to be in love.

Landlords and Tenants

I am currently packing my stuff and moving back to my school vicinity.
I got a call from my friend of two and a half years telling me that she was stranded. She said that she was having problems with her landlady. When she originally moved in to her apartment, the internet connection was included in her rent. All of a sudden, the landlady decided to cut off the internet connection. That was when the problem started. My friend decided to leave the apartment and hence, paid rent for the first week of september.

Today is a saturday and my friend was asked to pack out of the apartment on friday which is the day before. I told my friend that she could not stay with me because I was moving out the next day. I told her that she should not leave her current place of residence because the first week of September had not run out.

Even if the time period had run out, the landlady had no right to send her packing.
I told her that if the landlady tried to send her out, she should call the police.
My friend being a timid person decided to call other people to ask if she could stay with them. Being unsuccessful, she later called the landlady and said that she could not leave just yet and if she dared to throw her out, she will call the police. The landlady then said that it was ok that she could stay for a few more days.

This my friend's landlady wanted to take my friend for a ride and leave her homeless because she is an international student and did not properly know her rights. I just have to wonder why there are so many landlords who try to make life difficult for their tenants.
