It has been 9 days since my last post here on Steemit, and that's not because I have lost interest in the platform. It's because my life for the past few days has been a nightmare that almost defies description. I don't have the energy or mental fortitude to describe it to you in all of its gory detail right now, but suffice to say that I have had to move twice.
I moved out of my house and into a new house, where the crazy landlord (who was for some reason snooping around while I was moving in) immediately noticed the movers unloading dogfood and went into conniptions about the house's strict NO PETS POLICY! This is despite the fact that their house was listed as Pet-friendly all over the internet listings and the realtor who showed us the house told us that dogs were acceptable with a deposit.
She literally told the movers to stop moving me in, even though all of my stuff was already in the house. She forced me to give her the keys because "the lease doesn't start until tomorrow!" So I had to give a crazy, raving lunatic woman the only key I had to a house that contained all of my possessions.
Then, the next day, I had to meet with her at 10:30 AM (at which point she bizarrely offered me vodka!) to move all of the stuff I'd moved into her house back to the house I'd just moved out of. So, over the course of two days, I literally moved my stuff from House A to House B, then back from House B to House A.
So, after weeks of preparing to move and months of looking for a new place, I have ended up exactly where I started, just with all of my stuff in boxes and my house in absolute disarray.
I'm sure my haters will get a good laugh at my expense on this one. And I'm glad that I can at least bring them joy, because for me this has been nothing but a miserable experience.
Did I mention that my back was out during the entire duration of these events and I couldn't even stand up straight, let alone walk without a pronounced limp?
Fucking bloody hell.
I'm only scratching the surface of this insanity. But I thought you should all know why I have been so inactive these past few days.
Don't worry about the haters on Steemit. You probably won't find them here. You think people are gonna be hating when they could just suck the d for an up vote?
Hope you get the whole housing situation resolved bro!

Damn sir...That sounds like a hell of a couple of days. Sorry to hear about that. You could always fight it...if you have the strength left. After all the listing, and the realtor said it was okay. If you have that in writing :\ But, that's not the point of this post, looking for advice, hehe.
Hope it all works out for you! :)

Don't. Huge waste of money. Landlords have nearly total discretion over their rental policies. The lease itself falls under state laws and local ordinances that protect renters' rights, but the policies themselves are a different story. And I live in the civilized North. I can only imagine what would happen to this case in the Sovereign Confederate State of Louisiana.

I second this. The crazy landlord's ass is probably covered by the paperwork (although it is worth checking just in case), the realtor on the other hand has to worry abbot her reputation if she wants to keep her job. Even if she technically didn't brake any laws, this still makes her look incompetent.

Dawg, that's some lawsuit-tier bullshit, even beyond the false advertising of the house. Locking your property inside can probably be legally considered theft, especially if you had to hand over the key BEFORE a time to retrieve your property was set.
Use any law technicality advantage to legally fuck this hoe.

A troll comment from a believer:
Athesist go to hell so you just got a taste of it, you'll better find Jesus soon!
Now seriously:
If you ever gonna find Jesus, I hope it's because of love for him. It's very wrong to tell people "you're going to hell" - that's not an argument. If you want to convince someone to find Jesus, do it with love. So with my all love for you and for Jesus, I'm telling you, you're going to hell! (oh well, I said I was trolling ;) )

I hope everything get's back on track soon! That was pretty fucked up what happened there, I'd say you have a pretty good case against the realtor and/or landlord.
...and hopefully your back recovers well!
Lately is seems like almost everyone in the whole fucking world is either dealing frustrating stupid shit, or horrible depressing events.
I will look at this as a reminder that life isn't just randomly fucked up, it's universally fucked up.

She sounds like an immigrant lady who happens to be a fucking idiot. But I would've accepted the vodka. Landlords may be the most craziest people on the planet, only because they've dedicated their lives to a constant state of stress and dealing with random assholes who occupy their properties. I would know; my father is a landlord. Take it easy, TJ, and thanks for the entertainment.

Damn, that landlord sure is a freaking pain in the ass, why would it's house would be advertised as pet friendly and make all this ruckus for something that shouldn't be a problem, looks like you've got into someone waiting for you to "tipp" her to allow your pet to get in, as she offered you vodka, it's sign she was attempting some "shit" if you know what i mean.
And i think the smartest thing to do was actually to move back, wich you did, smart bastard, i think you saw the situation globally and felt this was going to a shithole pretty quick if you didn't made the right move right away isn't it ? It could have been the beginning of a very toxic relationship with that landlord, maybe i'm overthinking it but she might have known who you are, and tried to milk some money out of the situation, or make a profit out of this in some ways, who knows. I sure would have seen it coming if it was the case, some "experience" gets thrown into this when you look at people, some would say it's bad to judge people from how they look or behave but damn, unfortunaly, i get very often to 97 % accuracy when i analyze i little bit too hard and deep someone's body language, way to talk, to look and to behave overall.
Sorry to hear you also have huge back problems, sometime i'm barely able to walk and have to use these heated up medical ballons filled with water under my back for 30 / 40 minutes(excuse my bad english i don't know the medical term for these in english) to start walking "normally" as i have soldered / welded discs together, displaced discs, reduction of the passage of the vertebrae / grey matter thing there, i'm all fucking broken when days are very cold AND humid, and when it's tropical humidity i feel very bad in the backbones too.
To me it looks like you have pretty similar issues when weather is not suitable for your back bones / tissues / nerves.

Moving is a nightmare at the best of times, but that landlady sounds like a piece of work. I'd strongly suggest seeing what legal options you have even if you could recoup the costs of moving it would be a major benefit and drag name through the mud a bit.

Starting from last Thursday I've been moving to a new place as well. Although we had everything prepared it still was a huge pile of work. Tomorrow the last few pieces of forniture should arrive and I'll be back online next week.
The only thing that keeps me going is the outlook on a beautiful, original and personal place to call home.
What happened with your landlord, or lady, is incredibly awful. Yet it's fortunate you will not live there. Tbh such a landlord is not someone you want to answer to.
