My landlord has given me a month to leave. What have I do...
5 years ago
I want to say that my landlord's son is a good man and I can get along with him. But today he's gone a bridge too far with me.
A few weeks ago he told me that I was leaving my thermostat too low and that I was risking damp and mould to develop, which I can understand, but he did so by entering into my flat without my permission. My parents and I were displeased to say the least.
Today he has done so again and it's because he found my ipad chargers plugged in and complained about it being a fire hazard. He was worried that I run the risk of causing an electrical fire through a faulty device.
I felt violated, because he went into my home without my knowledge or consent and I handled my response badly, my parents felt there was a communication failure between him and all three of us and they felt that how things weren't handled well either but the damage is done.
Now, I've been given a month to pack my stuff and leave. My parents told me he was unstable and he and I have a history of disputes because of the way he lived and his history wasn't very positive, as well as how he ran his flat.
Yet, I also feel responsible for the way I did things. I wasn't very stable and I did cry a few times there due to the stressful nature of Covid-19, exams and university, I did try to correct problems but I think I should have been able to do things better, not helped by my impulse instinct to respond and I wasn't a good talker of disputes. I'm seeking help and I know that I will be attending some therapy sessions.
Either way, I had hoped that I could've moved home without animosity between him and I, but that's simply not happening. Had my application to the shared ownership been successful, I probably would have been more positive. Now, it's a dark day.
