And no we don't HAVE to respond to texts but then if we don't, she'll call us. If we don't pick up the phone then she'll come knocking on our front door no doubt. She hasn't had a problem with that before when she just happened to be at the neighbors and wanted to stop in or driving home from work and thought she'd stop by to check on something.

Send the letter, as suggested above.

What is a crrr letter? We don't even know her address as she's never given it to us! We just deposit the rent directly into her bank account.

Certified, return receipt requested.
If you can't send a letter, then I suggest that you text her and/or email her. It's better than nothing. Just be firm in your statement so there's no room for "wiggling"

Good lord...you are...literally....one of the biggest whiners who have ever posted to this list.

Right from the beginning you have sent your landlord mixed messages from "maybe" you'd consider moving out early to a husband blowing his top over the whole idea to appearing to being afraid to confront the woman over the entire issue.

Now, after you've finally appeared to have grown something that appears to be a backbone what do the two of you do??? The landlady suggests a house near her that's coming up for rent and you two run right over there and look at it. And while it doesn't suit your needs what do you tell her? Not that you'll be honoring your lease and that you want her to do the same but rather that you'll keep on looking.

And you're wondering why she'll keep contacting you.

GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!! YOU WANT HER TO STOP CONTACTING YOU ABOUT MOVING OUT EARLY?????? TELL HER YOU'LL BE PARKED RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE LEASE UNTIL YOU...NOT HER....YOU FIND A SUITABLE PLACE AND THEN...AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU BEGIN THE DISCUSSION TO TERMINATE THE LEASE EARLY.

And for heavens sake, quit bothering this list with your nonsense!

We may NOT be here til the end of the lease. If we do manage to come across something that is decent then we will move out. If not, then we won't but who knows when/if that may happen if at all before October! It is all up to the hubby now and I have nothing to do with contacting her and he isn't being straight forward with her either. Rather than bugging us on a weekly basis why doesn't she say "Let me know by April 15 what you are going to do".

Like she was TOTALLY straight forward with us when trying to get her to fix the storm door. 6 months of her promising to fix the door and then putting it off/forgetting and then when we ask again saying she'll get somebody on it then a few months later saying we need to pay for it and then saying she'll pay for it if we pay installation. If she can flip flop then so can we!

I will continue to whine to my heart's content on here :) Nobody said you needed to take 10 minutes out of your day complain about my whining! Just ignore my posts and move on if they bother you that much!

Tell her you will agree to a firm move-out date if she gives you enough money to cover your moving expenses. Otherwise it will be at the end of the lease and that is that. If you want to move out by June, you can make it happen if you really want to. We got notice to move out in Feb and we were closing on a house in April. It wasn't that hard, we looked for a house, we found one, we got the inspections done, we worked out the contract, and we moved. But if you don't want to be bothered to do the work, then just tell her the discussion is closed and you'll be out in October as planned. Just make a decision already!

Perhaps you were not being "stubborn and whiney" though?:cool:

We were also on a month-to-month lease so LL was allowed to tell us to move. He wanted to sell the house and we didn't want to buy it because he wanted way too much money.
