Today, my boyfriend and I respectfully asked my landlady if he could stay with me until he gets back on his feet. He was robbed at gunpoint in his house last night. Landlady then yelled because we aren't married, and then showed up at my door at 10pm, "just making sure John isn't here". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, my landlord came over while I wasn't home. My friend and her pets were thrown out by her husband. I'm the only person she knows in this state and she begged me to stay. I reluctantly told her fine; just don't answer the door. She did, with the animals, and told him she was living here. FML
Today, my boyfriend got arrested. For robbing my house. FML
Today, my landlord told me he is raising my rent next month. I thought he was kidding until he asked if I still wanted to live here. My landlord is also my live-in boyfriend. FML
Today, I was awakened in the middle of the night by a frantic banging on my front door. It was a guy whom I'd only been dating a few weeks, with a suitcase. He stated that his wife kicked him out for having an affair, and thought now would be a good time to move in together. FML
Today, I received an eviction notice taped to my door stating my landlord is selling his property and moving out of the country in 13 days. My landlord is my boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were house sitting. We were a little on edge because we'd heard noises. We were starting to get intimate, and suddenly the house alarm started going off. We locked ourselves in the room, called the police, and they told us that we were the ones who'd set it off. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML
Today, a guy I went out with twice, and slept with once, came knocking on my door, hysterically crying. Apparently his wife found out about “us” and kicked him out. He’s now asking where he can put his stuff, since he’s now homeless. I had no idea he was married, and she’s now looking to fight me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would've just had him just stay with you and not tell the landlady, she sounds batshit.

You have rights as a tenant. She cannot show up and demand entrance, that's an invasion of your privacy. Read your lease or renters contract and see what privileges you have or don't. My advice, keep him very quiet and hidden and she'll never know.

Sorry, dude. She sounds like a ****.

Sounds like the landlady is OP's overly conservative mother. But yes, a **** indeed.

Do it to her and see how she feels

Make John stay with her?
Roskie 16
Rob her at gunpoint? There's too much room for interpretation.

make love to her like she is her bf?

She may not be able to if in the lease agreement it says she can't, that would just make the situation worse.

My contract says I can't have anyone stay overnight without prior approval because my landlady is afraid they will copy the keys while I sleep and move themselves in and she'll have to go to court to get rid of them. Luckily she lives a town over and can't drive anymore so I just don't tell her.

Is she allowed to just show up whenever she wants?
Rei_Ayanami 18
Legally in the US they have to give 24 hour notice if they want to come inside, I believe.

i think that's only houses though. apartments they can ask to come in whenever. it's usually in the lease.

@50 A landlord can ask to come in whenever they want, but you have the right to say no. They don't have the right to enter your home (because it's still your home whether you own it or not) without notice, but some might ask anyway hoping you don't know that or hoping you'll let them in anyway.

Does your lease say anything about having guests over an extended period of time? Unless it explicitly says you can't have anyone else live with you I don't think she can really do anything.

He's right. As well as those stating about invasion of privacy. Look up landlord and tenant act for your locale. You have more rights than you think.

Landlady's got rights as a renter too.
Shade1982 21
That might not be the best advise. Some leases have clauses about having visitors over only with prior consent. If she finds out about him, she can kick you out for breaking the contract.

Just make him hide under the bed coz no one ever looks there
Lalala579121 28
If anything, he should hide in the bathroom. Then when the lady asks where John is and OP responds "in the bathroom", the landlady will just call OP a wiseass and leave.

Oh damn, cockblocked by the tenant, that's tough

Not the tenant, the landlady...

Why did you even ask? Do you live in a communist country where you can't have people in your house after 10pm?
Waschlappen 23
Why would it be against the law to have people in your house after 10 pm in a communist country?
syki 22
Sounds more like a small town somewhere in the Bible Belt to me. *checks* Oh, look. North Carolina.
Alchemist_21 26
As a North Carolinian, I can honestly say I'm not surprised about this fml.
MlleMC_fml 19
I have lived in one place where I couldn't have overnight guests, and it was in Canada, not in a communist country (nor in the bible belt). I was renting a room in an apartment separated from the rest of the house, and the landlady didn't want to end up renting to 6 people instead of 3.

Of any utilities are included, adding another person can really up a bill, so some landlords make sure there can only be 1 person living there. In my state, there is usually a charge for more people than the lease states to cover extra water and electricity usage. That doesn't seem to be the case, here, though, seems like a conservative landlady.

Have him spent the night regardless
