Health and safety in rent house
TWO days ago was attempted breakin of house. Last week car was burglarized. Yesterday I told Llord that the height of the bushes was mentioned. I suggested to Llord they could be cut into a canopy to keep shade. Llord barked back at me: ' Did anyone mention the stuff in the driveway could be attracting burglars?' (I do have stuff there. He has praised me for whittling away at it) It then appeared he tried to get me to admit the windows were unlocked the night of the attempted breakin. I reminded him of the text i sent warning to stay inside possible burglar! He then said 'i was only trying figure out what happened last night so i can find solutions' I said, well if that's so, why did you bark at me when i gave you one?' Then I said I try to be reasonable, but this is too much. You trying to blame the breakin on me. He said I was being "overly sensitive" and didnt want to discuss this. He later demanded that we talk face to face. Then he try to blame the mold on me!
Other items that have not been repaired: * the dishwasher I've been here year and it has not worked. it won't drain dirty water. * Dripping Faucets in the laundry room causing that black mold (Llord says if I had my w/d hooked up the water would not be dripping down the Walls. I said' that would merely conceal the problem and not fix the dripping faucets'. To date I wash my clothes and linens in bathtub and line dry. *I can't use patio or back driveway bcs of huge Mulberry tree that inhabits birds and squirrels. Move-in Llord said he was going to trim tree back off the patio and driveway but he didnt. in fact I climbed the ladder up into the tree as best I could with a back injury and trimmed as many bushes as possible but it has engulfed the power supply line to my house and im not going near it. He did kindly loan me a pole saw!
* Ring camera over garage was pointed mostly toward his side so the pics of the car burglar are unclear and probably not useable. (And i find out that I pay the electricity for the lighted camera, but it would be better if he'd told me up front. Now i wonder what else i pay for that i dont know about. Yesterday I notice he now parks out front, adjusted the camera to be more centered and adjusted the light so it's not on all day and night. He said he's parking in front to make workspace but that was two days before he started fixing the carport. It's bcs he didnt want HIS car covered in filthy bird poop and squirrel urine. It stinks SO bad and ruins paint. *The garage I informed the landlord that one corner (holding the door) has two by four standards that are not touching the bottom horizontal board. That wall is unstable and nothing has been done about it. Also the lighting in the garage shows a lux rating of 3. Not 300... THREE. I'm not going to try to work out there and sure not use any of my power tools at that level. I can only see out there during the day with both the big door and the side door open. Then my dog gets out and i have to go chase her. She is deaf and cannot hear if i holler to her. I can't run so I have to get in the car and find her. *Fence is falling in two places... he talks like he's going to fix things but never does. But oh man if the rent is late!!! * The railing on the outside steps is not connected to the ground so it is no support.
Because I voiced my concerns yesterday he said he didnt think i would ever be happy there and should start looking for another place. This the very day my house was almost broken into and a week after my car WAS broken into! My first concern is the black mold. Do i move? Am I already I infected? Is my stuff contaminated? Llord told me yesterdayesterday to start looking for new place but won't give me a date I have to be out or how much deposit he already knows hes going to keep. I can't afford to just pack up and go. And where? I have a dog and 5 generations of family heirlooms. What do I do to protect my health? A bottle of bleach isn't going to fix this.
