Yes, I think my LL is in the same position as you.

In Reply to: Not sure about apartments, but right now... - Kendra
Although I am a very good tenant, my LL tries every year to raise my rent, so that he can cover HIS mortgage payments.
I like the apartment and the neighborhood, so I accepted the raises.
But now, in these times, I will refuse to accept a rent raise, then he has to take me to court if he wants to evict me. And I do not think that not agreeing to a raise rent, especailly in these bad times, is a reason to evict a tenant.
Anm I right or wrong?
I will, to the contrary, ask him to lower my rent.
P.S. My LL is a 'stingy' one, with everything.
For instance, he refuses to take a professional pest exterminator and does it himself. The results are not good!

What a horrible position to be in..sm
There are some really good groups on MSN where you can go and talk to people in similar positions. There are boards specifically for people with family members with drug addictions. I would also suggest that you get some counseling for yourself to help you with the guilt that you feel.
I was in the same position until I put my foot down.
Stopped doing all the little things they liked. One by one, they wondered what was wrong with me. I finally said they could at least pick up their things. Husband cleaned the kitchen that night and the dining room floor. You have got to put your foot down and stick to it! Don't feel bad for them, you help them by not doing so much and taking care of yourself. Then, they will realize and pitch in. It does not happen overnight and you may have to grin and bear a messy house for a while. But don't see it, and do something for yourself instead, get out of the house, read a book, take a walk every time you feel bad for them and then do for you. It works, speaking from experience. But you have to stick to it! You will feel better. Try it you will see!
I chose to buy. I was in a position to be able
to put enough down on the home so that my mortgage is actually less than most rentals around here.
I would recommend you buy if you plan on staying in that area because the rates are so great right now. You are likely to be able to grab a great deal on a house. If your credit is good, don't put as much down for a deposit and sock it away for emergencies. Good luck to you!
Yep, had one of those too in the "on" position
Vibrating like crazy, way up there with a huge volume of lube. The ER doctor couldn't extract it with the forceps, so he gave the guy the choice of waiting until the batteries died or having it removed under anesthesia. The patient opted for the anesthesia (maybe he used Energizer batteries and they would just keep going and going and going...)
How about beach-chair position?
Doncha know the patient wishes they were really in a chair on the beach instead of in the operating room.
Neither am I - quite the opposite - I guess if you have never been in this position you don't kno

Wow. I am in the same position but with three kids BEGGING me to...
divorce their day. He is absolutely horrible. He is verbally abusive, mentally abusive, emotionally abusive, horrifically financially abusive, etc... I could go on and on and on. I had the same question when my three children were young. They are all a year apart. I knew if I divorced him when they were very young, he could partial custody or certainly visitation rights. Now, I don't care. They are 14, 13, and 12. I am going to give them the choice of whether or not they want to see their dad, which from what they tell me, they say they won't be happy until he is dead. Sad situation for those of us in it. You are in my thoughts. It's a brutal situation to be in. I know...I am there.
Look, Walmart changed their position BECAUSE people
complained AND stopped shopping at their stores. They said they admitted they had made a mistake.
Neither. I work in a corp position and we have Thanksgiving off plus
I love it and would never go back to MT work.
