Rented house or in your own house?

I would probably want to be in my own place as sharing your living quarters with other people other than your family can be annoying at times, especially if they are using your own personal items without asking. If you haven't had a chance to talk with them then maybe you should, or else if you are unable to, can you lock your personal items away until you need to use them? We are renting an apartment and luckily its just my husband and my son with me.

well we do own our townhouse, but there are still rules for the whole complex, so that is quite a pain...the lady and the group that rules the complex are not the nicest and very nittpicky...we have rules such as we cant hang out laundry etc... but, my hubby is president of the board, so that helps a little to keep this lady in line

Lock your stuff up in a box or a closet and tell the next person that wants to take advantage of you that you just can't supply the whole community anymore or that you are sorry but you have run out of the item they need. If it's under lock and key then they can't just help themselves to it or see that you really do have it. good luck!

Can you afford to move to another place, desertking? Maybe if you cannot do it alone, you could get a roommate to share in the expenses with you. I would find it very difficult to share a living space with strangers. I live alone in a smalll apartment. My children are all grown up and evn my grandchildren. I love living alone. Everyone needs their own space. Tell the moochers to keep their hands off your private things. Good luck.

Currently I live in a Rented House, and just like everyone, I too like to own a house of my own. Just as you said, its not easy to live in a Rented house and there are always chances that the landlord may need the house for himself or for someone of his close friend or relative. But when we have the home of our own, there will be none to trouble us regarding the home. We are the king of our own land and we rule the land and home. So, I like to have my own home instead of living in a rented house.

First be cooool things settle by themselves. I think it's really hard to be in rented house. Myself I live in own house and I suggets u to develop friendly relations with ur tenants and hope Good remains..........Have a nice Day

i am living in a rented flat at the moment but not with the landlord... only me and my hubby... it is really rude and disrespectful for the landlord to use your personal belongings without your permission... may be you can have a serious chat with them and let them know or move out... if you are not happy living there, why continue???? it will make you stress out... good luck...

all landlords are the same buddy. you have to compromise some things in life to get something else

It's easy- Move out! Or at least if you cannot do that- buy a padlock and lock your room- put your things in your room-- maybe they will get the hint- I can't imagine living with someone else's family- Good luck to you!

You need to try to tell them how you feel if you think it'll do any good or move

what i understand is when you rent a house, you are supposed to use it by yourself and whoever is with you. how come your landlord and his family are staying with you? or you may be saying that you are renting a room only within your landlord's house. if that is your situation now, you are really in big trouble with all the annoying things that your landlord and his members are doing to you. you can lock your things inside the room if it's necessary. there might be other personal things that might get lost without you knowing or get noticed of. if you feel that your privacy is being stepped upon then probably it's time to get a new place.i really can't bear living in such bad situation of yours.

I guess that I would have to discuss this with them and explain to them that if this behavior continued you would be forced to take the price of your personal items off of the amount of rent that you paid them....

I would get out and try find somwhere els to live. I would not alow this going on. Or if you realy like to stay, I would try to talk to them. Or mabe take them to Dr Phil show and let him tell them one or two. This can not be alowed. You have to something. First I would try to talk to them. If that do not help. I would get me another place to stay.

It sounds like a very unhappy arrangement. Life is not supposed to be that hard, I suggest you do what you can to find another place to live!

I rent a house, but I don't live with my landlord. If this is getting to you so bad then maybe you could try to keep your personals hidden. I think they should buy their own stuff and stop taking advantage of the situation. Good luck!

I bought my own place at 29.it's expensive to keep up, but it feels good to have a place to offer friend's and family if they need it.

Are you renting a room...I do not understand. If you are paying rent for the whole house they shouldn't even be there. If it is for room only you have the right to lock the door so they cannot get into this room. I would be looking for another place to rent. Renters do have rights so look into this and see what your rights are. Taking your stuff and/or using your stuff if taken from your room is the same as stealing. Learn what your rights are then let them know that you know and maybe they will leave you and your stuff alone..

I don't think I could ever share a house with people other than family. We are in the process of renting a place but the other people in the building have their own separate apartments so nothing at all willbe shared. We don't even have access to each others apartments. I think you are in a very bad situation and should move out as soon as you can.They have no right to take and use your things. Keep a list of everything they have done, you may be able to recover some money by talking to a lawyer about all of this. For now try to keep all of your things in a place they can't get into.

Hello desertking!(",) I guess, you need to talk to them to sort things out. They might think it's okay with you because you don't complain. Anyway, We never own a house ever since I was born. We keep on renting and now we are living here in the rented house for 12 years already. The owner will renovate the house this October that's why we need to move out. Until now we are still looking for a house. I'm kind of happy about this moving out thing because I feel that the family needs a new start and a new environment. Hope we can find a nice house that's not so expensive.(",) Great day and God bless!

It sounds like your landlord and his family are really difficult and inconsirate people. I don't think that anything that you say to them will change that. It would probably only anger them. I would suggest you start looking for a new place to leave. I would also suggest you do it in a way that they will not find out until you move. If they hear that you are looking they might get angry and evict you. Sorry that I don't have a more positive suggestion, I just have a feeling in this case that those people are unreasonable. Of course, you know them better than I do. I've never met them obviously, so I could be completely wrong. Good luck with your situation.
