A month ago, my wife, daughter and I moved into a new apartment, taking over the lease of the previous tenants. I stay at home with our daughter usually, and my wife works. At 4:53 today my wife got this text from the landlord, a property company, out of the blue:

"We have showings tomorrow at 11:15, 12:00, & 2:15. Thanks."

Wife: "What?"

"We will be showing the property to potential tenants for August 1 tomorrow during the times stated. Thanks."

Wife: "Is someone from [terrible property company] going to come out, or do we have to show them?"

"We will show it to them. You are welcome to be home but don't have to be. The deadline on the renewal passed a few weeks ago. Have you changed your mind about renewing?"

We haven't changed our minds about renewing because my wife is looking for a job that might take us out of town, but we won't find out until March and have told them so. We told them so again and got no response.

So in my fit of anger and pique, I turn to you passel of devious bastards. I am pretty pissed off about this, and need to get the lovely property management company to understand that they can't treat people this way and expect to get away with it. I also want the new prospective tenants to understand what type of treatment they can expect if they decide to move in in August. I do not want to get arrested or poison the relationship so thoroughly that they refuse to lease to us again (it's a pretty sweet place and rent is like $775 for 2B/2B). It is a dilemma.

To aid in my struggle I have composed a partial list of tools to perhaps aid me:

- two pheasant carcasses (I was going to boil them to make broth but haven't gotten around to it yet)

-shotgun, unloaded

-baby, possibly unloaded, often not

-giant framed marijuana thing from my dad's time as a cop

-two dogs who sometimes listen to commands

-other things- lizard, door stop, a definite lack of pants, alcohol


I would appreciate your thoughts on how to resolve this.

Hang out in your underwear during the showing. Have things messy-clothes on the floor, unwashed dishes in the sink from the night before, etc. Unscrew all lights except one in every single solitary socket in that entire place so the rooms look dark and forboding and unwelcoming. Close the windows and throw dark throws on the walls. If you have any pro drug stuff (420 poo poo, pot leaf stuff) make sure it's out in plain sight as long as it's not illegal stuff. Download a soundboard for your phone and go in to "Take a poo poo" and recreate the scene from dumb and dumber while people are doing the walkthrough. If you're in a conservative part of the world, throw a rainbow flag up or make a shrine to bernie sanders. If you're in a liberal part of the world, talk to them endlessly about guns and how slavery hurt white america too.

E: It is February and they are showing for August. That's kinda nuts depending on where you live. Where DO you live, OP.

you should probably just be really normal then tell your landlord that you don't appreciate him doing things like that

and fart really loud while you're doing it like so loud and smelly but keep talking and make sure that you keep looking him in the eyes the whole time you're farting and make sure that he knows just by that fucken stare that you posted something about a shotgun in relation to him on the internet and he will probably be sorta scared and he will never do that again

act normal during the viewing and strike up a normal conversation with the prospective new tenants until about half an hour in, then drop trau and begin to skid around the carpet with your anus like a dog

continue the conversation as though nothing is happening

if there is not gold trim around the lease then it is invalid and he is able to invoke an arcane english common law that allows him to stay in his domicile as long as he wants for free and also cook meth

So to clarify they allowed the previous tenant out of a lease which they most likely are not required to do (Sounds reasonable) by assigning it to a short term tenant (Again, sounds reasonable) in a place that you say is very reasonably priced and nice. In exchange for their behavior that seems very generous they are asking to you to either sign a new lease or allow them to show your place under both your and their supervision in accordance with the signed lease that you have with them.

You find this unreasonable and want to make their business more difficult. And they are the terrible ones. OK.

I'm pointing out again that they are showing for tenants in August. It is February. They're showing it six months ahead of schedule? That sounds kinda nuts to me unless he's in a really big city or something. Which, he may be. But with the current info it seems... weird?

Also most states have tenant laws. I was given 19 hours' notice to inspection via text message when legally it has to be 48 hours in writing. I still let her in, she swooned over how spotless the house was, and is now trying to charge me thousands for poo poo we didn't do to the house or aren't responsible for (poo poo like fixing a leak in the roof that I reported four times while I lived there). If you play nice with landlords, they'll gently caress you anyway.

We moved in a month ago to the day. It's February for gently caress's sake, and they're looking for renter's for August and giving us less than 24 hours notice.

If it were one viewing I'd expect that it was a person going to school in august but 4 showings in a day is ridiculous.

So what you are saying is in a college town they have are showing an apartment after said college has most likely sending out early if not regular acceptance letters for a lease starting right before the Fall semester.

It's been said a bunch of times itt but less than 24 hours notice is probably not actually legal and if you wanna be a dick you could pick a fight over that.

Change the lightbulbs to haunted house ones that dim and flicker at random. Sit in a rocking chair after having your wife apply heavy makeup under your eyelids to make them look baggy while you rock your kid back and forth silently. TUrn the tv on but have it on to like static.
