Housing insecurity is a huge bugbear for middle class people, one I am still in the process of wrangling. We are brought up in such a way that the threat of housing insecurity becomes a thought terminating cliché, it is unthinkable, it is THE WORST, it feels like death. To the point that most middle class people can't even consider the notion of paying rent a bit late.

This fear is blown so much out of proportion. It's what gives landlords so much power, because most people are so deeply cowed, even if they don't think capitalism and its ways of domiating land and housing and people is right. They still go along with it, when mass organised rent strikes could be such easy and effective actions. Why obey landlords at all?

Gonna send this email to landlord, please copy, adjust and send to yours as well:

Hello,

I am writing to make some ground rules known, to be followed from here on out.

I will not be taking phone or voicecalls, as you have made it clear that I need everything in writing. You have not kept your word in the past. I expect that to change.

I will not be answering the same questions over and over again. If I have gone to the trouble of informing you of issues or even provided pictures and videos, I expect you to refer back to my email or text before asking me to provide the same information again. You can ask for clarifications if needed.

Unless specified otherwise, I give permission for you to share the information I have given you whith the relevant people needed to adress the issue, for example repair people, contractors, plumbers, chimney sweep. In fact you need to let them know what their tasks will be and make sure they come prepared, equipped and with enough human power and time to safely complete the necessary tasks.

I am not your slave driver. If a contractor arrives again unprepared and underequipped for the work at hand, I will not ask them to endanger their health by doing the task anyway.

You need to give me a reasonable amount of time to answer your questions before restating them. If a matter is not urgent, I may take a full work day to respond. If the matter is trivial, I may take two weeks. If I cannot give an answer yet, I will wait until I can actually answer your question (for example: "Was the problem fixed?" can only be answered after the contractor has had time to fix it).

I am willing to keep you up to date on the issues with the property, but you also need to fulfil your duties as owner and landlord. I am not going to go out of my way to do your work for you.

I also need you to give me the relevant information I need in order to fulfill my own duties as tenant. It would have been useful to get the contact information or at least company names of the usual services (trash collection, septic tank emptying, chimney sweep). I did ask about these upon moving in.

- [same name as on lease]

The landlord denies repeatedly that we have a mold problem.

This is our closet.

We keep cleaning it off, and it keeps growing back.

It's got to be inside the wall.

Our whole family has been feeling increasingly sick-- increased severity of asthma, rashes, and an increase of allergy symptoms, because of the mold problem in this apartment that was here before we moved in. I could tell what we would be in for, because the first week we moved in, I noticed spots where the mold was showing through the new coats of paint. (Somehow, this unit passed section 8 mainstream voucher inspection even though our side door didn't lock at the time, and still does not lock despite our many requests to have it fixed)

This landlord just had maintenance paint over the problem, probably in hopes that we'd never notice.

We been documenting this issue since 2 weeks after we moved in, since May 15th of this year, and he STILL denies there's a problem.

So far, we have a bathtub faucet that doesn't work (so the children who have skin conditions, can't soak), a toilet that doesn't flush properly (so I have to use the bedside commode), a molded bathroom ceiling in one bathroom and a water damage bubble growing in the other bathroom above the shower and an oven that doesn't work (we rely on crockpot, microwave, and stovetop to cook).

This landlord collects 1,215.00 for this unit per month. It's one apartment in a complex of around 100 other units.

We have a civil rights case open with the land lord because he made it clear that he doesn't like our family because we are autistic and disabled. Yet, the dept of civil rights has been favoring the landlord after I mistakenly told them that I was struggling with mental health issues.

Side note:

That's our computer monitor box that's in the picture. It's probably ruined, in which case, I'd have to find a different box to pack the monitor in, in order to return it.... Would I still be able to get a refund??

Some personal news: my wife and I have not been able to enter our apartment for more than a few minutes at a time since 12/23 due to #perlite dust #contamination which is similar to #fiberglass. Tara had to go to the #er for breathing problems and severe pain that night and we've been in hotels and hostels ever since. #advice welcome. Should we stop paying #rent? #landlord won't clean it so we're having to pay out of pocket.

@samuraikid
During the past year it is said that #BillGates, has become the biggest #landlord, at least in terms of #agricultural land.

Yes, #BigTech, are a massive problem. It seems they are all #diversify into complementary industries and building up #oligarchic structures. For example, #Amazon and #Google have their fingers in as many, if not more, insidious pies than #Microsoft.
