Hi Mylotters, Just want to vent out like I always do here This afternoon my land lord talked to me and he asked me if I can pay him earlier this month cause he need a money for his son's upcoming birthday this week I just pay my net connection and other bills I really don't have a money to give to him. But he said that he really needs to celebrates his son's birthday okies i understand that but he also must understand that he is not the only obligations I have to pay mist of the time he wants to pay him in advance and he never runs out of reasons. What pissed me off is when he said that maybe I can borrow some money to my mom so I can pay him in advance what the ***** he must not dictate or teach me to do besides I always pay him on time sometimes I pay him in advance. I hate that he can't wait for the end of the month to get my rental fees to think that I am not the only tenant he had. hope everyone is having a good week ahead happy mylotting

I would be nervous renting from someone who seems to live hand to mouth. What if something serious happened and he needed money? Would he sell what you're renting? I would find an excuse to not give him the rent money early, ever. Tell him you have other obligations. Tell him he can borrow it himself from someone. It's not right and he doesn't sound like someone I'd like to do business with (which is what you're doing when you rent from him).

My last landlord in the apartment that I rented is also like that. He would ask for the rent a month in advance because he says he need the money for his kid's tuition and other stuff. Well, I was never late in paying my rent. As a matter of fact, the tenant beside me owes him 4 months' worth of rent. So why would he bother me? Why it get his money from that other tenant? Just because he sees that me and my husband both have jobs and was never late doesn't mean he can just impose something like that on me. I agreed once, but when he asked for it again, I drew the line. I said I will pay him whenever it's due, no earlier no later. If he's running low on funds because the other tenant won't pay then that's their problem. I don't know why I have to bear the irresponsibilities of other people.

Sorry to hear that. he is wrong to ask for the rent money early. Now if he is a friend, then a small loan is ok. but not the rent early. tell him NO !!!

it is very wrong of him to ask you to pay your rent a little early for any reason and it is a issue of respect he knew that his sons birthday was this month and he should have put the money aside to pay for it I would tell him I am sorry but I can not do this and leave it that way

now this is what i would call ridiculous. make sure this time you tell him straight and clear that he owns the house and not you. do not give in. if you do it once people expect the same from you all the rest of the while. anyways good luck and have a great week. :)

You do not have to pay him early if you do not want to. Tell him No you do not have it and then do not feel guilty....You are doing your part by paying him when you are supposed to.

This is very wrong. He sounds like an insurance company that nags you to pay for them monthly but when you finally need their assistance then it takes so much time and effort from your part to get what you need. There are tons of paper requirement to submit. I am in another country and it even makes it harder because of the language. Talking on the phone is chaotic.

hi bhabycatch.. LOL I can relate with your story.. I just received a text message from my landlady asking for advance payment for my rent for the repair of the fence of this building.. She always doing it...but out of humanitarian consideration and to repay her of being good to us.. I gave her advance payment , Though I am not obligated to do it.. sometimes I have to do it to help her to overcome her financial problem... But then again sometimes it is irritating because I have my own bills to pay. What is the use of due dates if she is not following it.. But That is life..

I experience the same thing now with my landlady. She always pressure me to pay her in advance, though, we are always updated with our monthly payment. The things with this is that you also need to argue with her if you think you are in the right place of doing that. I always telling her that she is not our priority. What the important is, we are paying her always. Though sometimes we are late, we still accomplish the things we need to pay. So if I were you, always tell her your side. Make her understand that you will not forget your obligation and you will always there to keep your responsibility.

That's harrassment. Make it clear to him you pay on the date he set for your rent to be due and that you can not change it. I don't know what your laws are there, so I don't know what legal recourse you have. But I hope you can tell him to stay away from you until the rent is due. And from now on, I'd never pay him in advance. It might have raised his expectations.

You are not obligated to pay your rent until it is due. However, it always pays to keep on the landlord's good side. This time, his reason for wanting the rent early seems a little shaky . I would not borrow mobey to pay him early. On second thought, I don't think I'd pay him early, ever. If something happened, like the building burned down after you paid early but before it was actually due, you'd have to take him to court to get your money back.

You say "NO". Just say "NO". I will pay you when the rent is due. If he really needs money... SAVE HIS OWN MONEY.

The problem with giving him even a penny, is that he learns he can push you to giving him money. Its kind of like ransom money for a kidnapper. When you give the money.... they just take it and then come back for more. So you give them more, and they take it can come back for more. Once you teach this guy he can get money from you, he'll keep doing it. You have to at some point, just say "NO!" You'll get my rent, when the rent is due. Or you'll have to accept giving him money every time he wants it. Are you married? You have a husband? You must, you are really cute. Tell your husband to tell this guy to stop bothering you before rent is due.

That would be something that would piss me off to no end. I mean if your rent is due on a specific day of the month, there is no reason that a landlord should ever ask you to make your payment before the date that you had agreed on in the contract that you had signed when you moved into your house. It sounds to me like this man is someone that is terrible with money and if he is not able to keep his finances straight as far as his child's birthday goes, I wonder what other financial blunders that he is making in his life.

Hi, If you can simply forward me the email id of your landloard, I can forward your discussion to him. Henceforth, you would be totally free from his loan request from your man. What you think? Or do one thing, just make 'copy to' this guy also, then the problem is resolve. Actually he is the person who required to read your post and comments so that you will be in a safe side, but how it can be - na? mm...

No problme, you can talk straight way to him and the problem can be resolved instantly. But need to be open and upto the point. Anyway, it all depend on relationships and his conditions. Also, if he ask for 10 you can give 2-3 and given a reason too, for lessen the pinch!
