Soo... I'm confused what's going on with my living situation right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be the start of a new lease.
The landlord He came by the house a few weeks ago to check it out like he usually does once a year around this time.
Confirmed I'm staying so is the kid. My friend told him he's moving out about 3-4 months ago. Well ahead of the lease requirement. Landlord also said he'd be sending by prospective tenants to take over my friend's room. Haven't heard anything on that front. Yesterday he did have house cleaners but no one was home so didn't get a chance to talk with him about it. Until we sign a new lease, are we legally squatters? I dunno.
Not meaning to paint him in a bad light. I've been here since 2018 and he's always been a great landlord. This is really out of character. Usually we have our new lease signed early/mid July. He doesn't raise rent much each year. Less than other properties in the neighborhood, I've talked with other renters, but if I don't know what he's gonna do this year with our rent, so what am I doing? The only thing I know is last I saw him, we agreed that the new lease language reads as 3 tenants. Before, technically the whole house was 1 tenant. One person paid him. We've never been late or short on rent but now, we're only responsible for our part of total rent. When my previous friend/roommate moved out a few years ago, because Covid fucked her business, we had people viewing the room a couple months out of her leaving.
Anybody ever experience anything like this?
