I hate my landlord...

[Fox Mulder]

she told me she was going to be showing my townhouse to someone today between 11:00 and 11:30 am. Now it's almost 1 pm and no one has shown up yet. I'm pissed because I work overnight and I should be sleeping right now. I tried calling her twice to find out what's going on and there was no answer.

:banghead:

This isn't the first time she's done this either.

1. I'm sorry to hear that

Mine sucks too, by the way. He believes that tenants should NEVER have one complaint (or even semi-complaint, to be honest). He's a first-time landlord and he's clearly got too much on his plate to be renting out an apartment. We're looking for a new place to move into once our lease is up on September 30th. Moving sucks but it must be done.

I hope it gets better for you.

2. I can fully sympathize

having the landlord show the place while you're still living there is really annoying, and kinda creepy, and a definite invasion of privacy even `with` a warning in advance

3. I used to have to wait to shower until 5pm.

I had a steady stream of potential tenants from 8am to 5pm on Saturdays (the last month I lived there). No calls-would just show up with the landlord or some kind of locator.

4. I wouldn't blame the landlord

Rule of thumb in the business is that prospective tenants only show up 50% of the time. The others no call-no show. Rude.

5. That's probably the case. When I was a caretaker who showed apts,

my experience was about 60% of people were no shows. I would wait 15 minutes for my appointment to arrive. If they didn't call me to postpone or reschedule within that time frame, I'd leave and consider the appointment canceled. I wouldn't call the resident to inform them of the no-show because it was even more disrupting.
