Its Sunday at 1pm, the boys,(my two sons) are now starting with the tanks and the washer and dryer. This will take them the rest of the day.

I am in the new place, internet is working as of this morning, life is good.

and me, I am ready for a nap.

A well deserved nap I must say.

Just move out and be done with her. No need for hostility or unkind acts. Be happy you found a better place to live.

Good advice. She can always take you to small claims court for the extra rent, but she would have to convince a judge that you were actually paying $3500.00 per month to make the $50.00 a day a reasonable amount.

Good advice, one which I decided last night, no more money to the lady, if she wants more take me to court.

I took several dozen pictures of the place last night, outside and inside, every room from every angle. Before I did that I vacuumed and mopped, the place is clean, what more could she want .

The move is done, well at least everything is over to the new place, most of the people in the park came by to pat me on the back for getting out, they call her the crazy lady. The neighbors on both sides have waged a complaint to the owner to have her clean the place up, all three of them.

Now for the final job, unpack everything and put everything away, this will take the next few weeks for sure but I am in no hurry to do it. One take is up with water in it, the big one we will do today and get them up and operating. Not much else on the table today.

Thank you all for your kind words on this, it was nice to be able to sound off.

Its good to be home.

Hi River,

Glad you are making a move, but does this mean you won't have any more wild stories to tell us ? I hope this new place is much warmer and cheaper for you to live in, too.

In regards to paying the $50 a day,, you could tell her that you could have been witholding the rent money for the past year because of the bad conditions she did not fix (not sure if you can do that in your state),, but it is a renter's right to have a safe , workable home here in Ohio. You could have called building inspectors' on her, as well as health code people, and she could have really had to pay out some money, plus have to "bow"to people, which she obviously doesn't do,, so that would be very hard for her. Hopefully these ideas might make it more plausible to get back most of your deposit money. I also like the idea mentioned about you could have told her to start eviction proceedings... Landlords hate those words.

Check with your local government about guidelines for landlords and the rights of tenants. Hopefully you have some printed proof that you can use to reinforce your logical arguments. Just smile every day that you are Free of the Witch. Now click your heels three times, and say,, THERE"S no place like home. Or get out your Wizard of Oz video.

GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS on your new place.
