Hi everyone.

So, I had all of these fics planned. And I still do. But I'm having a bit of a hard time focusing, and not just because of the holidays. That's not my issue the way I thought it might be.

It's the sober house in which I've elected to live. I was recommended to this house by the caseworker, counselor, and several others as being top of the line as it relates to living somewhere with additional support as I embark on my sobriety journey.

The ladies I share a house with are great. We've bonded. They are talented, intelligent, hard working individuals.

My issue is with the workers, otherwise known as the Recovery Coaches. They are rarely ever present, which is fine because they don't live there. This is very much a self-rub house. We ladies keep things going.

The issue is that when these Recovery Coaches are there, all they do is try to incite drama. They often bully other residents, break HIPAA (witnessed by myself and others), attempt to pawn off their work on residents (me), come in after hours to ask residents to help them with non-work related issues (me), and more.

This happens regularly, but since I'm one of the "favorites" for some reason, they try to be careful with me. I don't like any of what I have described above.

But my biggest issue currently is that the house, which again is supposed to be the epitomy of recovery - a premier sober living house, has RATS!

Yes, you read that right. I said RATS. I've heard of residents apparently encountering mice. I've even heard a story about a girl who is still there currently having seen one back in May of this year.

I encountered one on Monday morning, at approximately 12:45am while I was attempting to put away dishes in the kitchen. 😳😳😳

WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I SCREAMED SO LOUD THAT I WOKE UP THE OTHER GIRLS IN THE HOUSE!!!

And the neither the Recovery Coaches, nor the Direct Housing Supervisor, seem very inclined to do anything about it. Even after I had to track down the Supervisor to have a serious, deliberate, strongly worded conversation with him.

Nothing is being done.

No one has been to the house yesterday or today. I'm scared. I feel unsafe. The other ladies are scared. They feel unsafe.

I have since escalated the issue with my recovery counselor and my case worker - something I informed the supervisor I would do if he didn't respond.

Well, things are in motion now. Steps are being taken so that I can either go somewhere else or they can step in and hit them where it hurts in relation to their funding among other things.

There is more than likely going to be serious blowback for my having elected to speak up and advocate for myself. And it won't just affect me, but the others as well. They are aware. We've discussed it.

There will more than be an attempt at retaliation. We've seen it. I've been warned. And I have warned my institutional support of this as well.

Oh well. It is what it is. I'm doing what I need to do to protect myself. And this whole being worried, on edge, and even afraid to do something as simple as use the bathroom or the kitchen (both on the first floor where my bedroom is) is taking up space in my brain.

It's getting to me. And I'm tired. And I can't sleep. And I am so frustrated that I really want to cry.

Lecanto -- For years, residents have complained to Action Rentals Management Inc. about sewage backing up into sinks, dishwashers, and toilets. For years, the landlords have ignored the problem. Rather than address the issue, which is a faulty drain field, Action Rentals repeatedly has

Please help me escape an abusive situation.

Hi. So I didn’t think I’d ever be making this post or be back in this situation but I am.

I recently had to move back in with my mother, who was physically abusive to me as a child and is emotionally and verbally abusive to me as an adult. I’ve been putting up with it just whilst I could save enough money to get on the council housing lists and get out. However due to an ex-partner financially fucking me over and not telling me the full details of our money issues, that has been put on hold as I now owe my mum just over around £3500 due to DCBL turning up at my address. She had to pay it to prevent them from taking her work equipment.

I can’t move out of this house until I’ve paid her back, as I am just a barista and a part time uni student (who doesn’t get a maintenance loan) so I wouldn’t be able to afford social housing at the same time. I had to give her all my savings to start paying back. I also had to use my wages to pay for this months food shopping and bills as this has left us completely broke. I’m hoping to recover some of the costs to help get out of this house.

I understand this is a difficult time for everyone, so I’m grateful for whatever help you can spare - even if it’s just a few pennies or just reblogging this post. I’m linking my gofundme below, and I also have a PayPal link too. Also if anyone knows of any charities or grants that could potentially help, I would be thankful for those too.

The house I moved into last March has slowly turned into a question of access: the haves and have nots.

I have kitchen access. But, why? Well. That’s because, I “can” or “could” afford to buy a couple of electric hotplates.

I’ve bathrooms access. Why? Idk. But, thx!

I don’t have access to the laundry machine. Why??? Ugh. Because, one, the housemate that owns it decided I can’t use it, anymore. And, two, even a used one is out of my budget. I could get lucky, though. In the meantime, gotta hike to the other side a town for a laundromat at €4 to €7 per load. And. That’s just the wash.

AND… I pay cash €250 a month (verbal contract) to a landlord (slumlord) who assured me the ceiling’s been fixed. However, when I show proof that it’s not the case, he ignores it. (Let’s not bother about these little things that change over time…)

I’m not looking forward to the coming rains.

My dear Tumblr folks!

I usually don’t post asking for help, but my family and I are in need of it..

Last year had been a tough year, I took a huge pay cut from my promotion (which I wasn’t expecting) I ended up institutionalized for some time from an anxiety attack and had no options from the authorities to go or not and now we’re facing an illegal eviction from our slumlord landlord who won’t cooperate and set arrangements to sit to discuss back pay we owe. (which was $400 at the time and November’s rent.) We’ve been good for the past 3 years paying our rent on time and the moment we’re slightly behind their true colors shown. We’ve discovered there is lead in this building while having our 3 kids live here.. I’m sure you’re probably reading this like “well why didn’t you think of it sooner?” well tbh, our landlord seemed like they had their best interest in us at the time and we thought nothing of it… We’ve destroyed our credit, stressing to keep a roof over our heads and can’t get a loan to cover costs…

Any help would be greatly appreciated, seriously.

Also, the picture is a legit 3M lead test. Red = Lead and the pic doesn’t do it justice.

Honestly fuck Landlords. Someone explain to me why my rental company is increasing the rent $410 a month, thus forcing me to leave- suddenly they’re charging for storage and utility, and for internet that I have to use, I can’t pick my own company.

#it’s a new management company #and they’re known for jacking rent so people leave #and then increasing the rent even more #it’s ridiculous #slumlords #landlords #non harry and louis #non Harry and Louis things #my nonsense

It was so amusing to slowly watch the price of our old apartment drop. Our original landlord did zero upkeep and nobody wanted to rent that shithole for what the new landlord thought she could get. And someone's going to die in a tragic shower accident there, but it won't be us.

Tenants might cheer declining rents after the price surges of the last two years, but don't get too happy yet.

Prepare to regurgitate your Thanksgiving meal. ProPublica’s investigative reporting on the tragic deaths of three young children in a home with faulty wiring exposes the desperate, uncaring underbelly of law enforcement in America. Some people lead lives of unbearable sadness while others lead lives of unjustifiable comfort. And laws designed to protect wealth cost others their lives.

Attention Landlords,

A move-in ready apartment means a clean, well maintained, vacant apartment that is free of pests.

Thank you.

i’m exhausted, im frustrated, i am just overall fed up with everything. Crying on and off because it seems like no matter how hard we try, my husband and I get the shit end of everything. We’ve tried everything to fix our problems we have with our shit hole of an apartment and 1) the city isn’t doing anything to help like they should 2) the slumlords we ahve dont care about anything but money; they haven’t fixed ANYTHING in our apartment and its been about 2 years since they’ve became our new landlords.  I am extremely embarrassed to say this but we have dealt with bed bugs for as long as we can remember due to the old tenants that lived in this apartment and we didn’t know about it until it was too late. We ahve tried chemicals, rubbing alcohol, steaming, heat treating, EVERYTHING you can think of even to throwing everything away and we are still dealing with the problem. I am pregnant with my second child and I am just so fed up with not being able to do anything or being able to get out of this place. Rent everywhere is way too god damn high. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I am so helpless and can’t stop crying due to exhaustion and frustration. I just want to find a better place so we can leave all our old shit that’s infested behind in the trash so we can finally be free of the pests. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve lost hope a long time ago. I just can’t anymore.
