Our lease ran out over 2 years ago and have been tenants at will. In the lease it states that the landlord must give us a 30 days written notice when he wants us to move. The day before Thanksgiving he came over and verbally told us that he wants us out because his son wants to move in. I told him o.k. but for him to be patient with us seeing we have kids and dogs and he was o.k. with it. One week later he left us a note on a piece of cardboard asking us how the search is going and that they're eager to move in. Up until 2 weeks ago he was coming to our house once a week to inquire about our search. For the past 2 weeks he's been coming over every other day, early in the morning while we get ready for work and the kids for school and daycare.
Last month he refused the rent check and said to use the last month's rent. This month, he refused the rent check again and said to use our security deposit. We live in MA and if I'm correct the landlord is suppose to give us the bank's name, account number and interest accrued every year from the security deposit, which he never did. I refuse to use the security deposit and will mail him a check. I'm afraid that he's doing that so he can take us to court and say that we haven't been paying rent.
He's threatened to double the rent, which we won't pay because he doesn't fix anything. My tub leaks into my kitchen and he refuses to fix it. Now my bedroom ceiling is caving in and leaks and my toilet into our kitchen and I know he won't fix them now that he wants us out.
He's told my husband that the dogs must be destroying the house. He was in it in November and our dogs have done no damage. Then the last time I spoke with him he accused us of leaving the water running all day. I told him that no one is home all day and he claimed the water company told him that we leave the water running all day. We take good care of the house. He's so cheap that when we moved in he refused to get us a new toilet seat so we bought one. We fixed all the holes in walls and painted.
We want to move but we just need more time and we don't want him harrassing us every other day by banging on our door at 7:00 in the morning. We also don't want to be dragged to court for nonpayment of rent since he refuses it and we don't want to end up on the street. The day he came over to accuse us of leaving the water running all day he asked about the search and I told him that we're looking into buying a house and he just said we don't have time to look to buy a house that his son had to be out of his apartment this months then changed it to last month.
Sorry this is so long. Thank you.
