My Lodger And His Girlfriend Broke A Sentimental Item With Their "Activities" r/Relationships

[@AndyyWithAY]

Expecting people to not have sex in common areas in a shared house, should not be controversial. It's so rude that they did this. This shouldn't even be a question.

[@bunnyslippers191]

That should be part of the minimum requirements for someone renting a room in someone else's house!

Right? If having sex with people hearing/watching is your fetish/kink, go to a sex club. You’re not supposed to engage other people in your fetish/kink without their permission. At best, it’s rude. At worst, it’s just plain nasty. 😅

It's not valid. Even if it was an accident, you told him the chair was off limits. He shouldn't have done anything to it. He should've offered to pay for at least some of it. And the drunken confession is obviously what happened. I knew that was the only option from the beginning.

[@justaperson4656]

I would've kicked him out there and then ngl

[@dawnb8123]

I remember hearing one where the hubby cheated and kicked the wife out. Before she left she put prawns in the curtain poles as hubby said he would be moving the girlfriend in. The smell got so bad they put the house on the market, but it wouldn't sell because of the odour. The wife offered to buy the house at a reduced price, and the happy couple agreed. The girlfriend being petty took everything thinking she was being clever, including the curtain poles to use at their new home........

[@peteranon8455]

I read that story too. I found it to be nonsense, like a guy wouldn't find the smell permeating from rotten prawns. I figure a guy would be more likely than not to rip out bathroom fixtures to find the smell.

[@jaymel4691]

Gee, I wonder why Anna's mom kicked her out? 🤔 When you are renting a room in someone else's house, you keep everything in the room you're paying for and nowhere else. You get access to shared spaces as needed but all your personal stuff (and your moocher GF) stay in your room. Time for Tyler to move out and take his baggage with him.

[@Resilient_Sage88]

You can't convince me that couple from hell didn't do it on that specific chair on purpose. First of all the material doesn't sound all that comfortable, plus they're just assholish enough to wanna get back at OP for Letting her mom rightfully go off on them.

[@tracicolvis7382]

I thought so too. They likely didn't intend to break it, but probably thought how funny (and disrespectful) it would be to do it there since that chair meant so much to her and she had the audacity to set reasonable boundaries in her own home.

Story 1: It's not even just them leaving their stuff all over the place that's disrespectful. Forget about the chair and the fact that Op is currently going through a break up for a second, it's _incredibly rude_ (and even a little gross) to be loud as hell during sex when you're living with another person. It's uncomfortable to listen to, and is just all around disrespectful especially if you consider one of them essentially moved in without even _asking first_ and doesn't even pay rent, she just came in then started doing this shit. Kick her out, and if he has a problem with it then kick him out too. Edit: Literally what the ever loving hell is wrong with them. They weren't allowed to be loud, sex crazed animals whenever and wherever they wanted and their response was to hide a dead fish in the house and bail because Op was being "stuck up"? If asking people to not bang in every damn room in the house and destroy your shit in the process means you're stuck up then damn I guess a majority of the people on the planet deserve a dead fish in their house. /s

[@kanelovec4315]

Tyler just wanted to use op. Come on one doesn't just have sex in a public shared area on a chair of a dead grandparent of the landlord. He should have paid for whole repair. Tyler also wanted to turn the house into his sex dungeon and have op be his maid. Girlfriend was just encouraging it. Edit spelling error

[@Julia-qj2cd]

"Sex dungeon" huh? I thought that wording seemed a little dramatic. But, as it turns out, according to another more in-depth post, lo and behold-- the dead fish had a ball gag in it's mouth. And upon additional research, she also found a dead mouse wearing a tiny little latex costume. So yes. Pure SEX DUNGEON. You just never know I guess.

Hell, he *bragged* about desecrating her grandpa's memory and intentionally having sex on something he knew OP held sacred, breaking it in the process, and then lying to OP. He. Bragged. About. It. and OP literally said "oh well, nothing I can do now but laugh with him"... except he was laughing AT OP, not with her. And she basically told him she was cool with that level of disrespect and dishonesty. The thing is, while anna may be the loud, brash, immature one of the pair, tyler's type seems to be the "silently brooding, and act apologetic, while plotting how he's going to 'teach you a lesson'" for any falsely perceived slight. And that's a dangerous type. Those are the kinds that go on to be the next elliot rogers. OP should have listened to her mom and got rid of him early on.

I would suggest the OP take a pic of the fish as well as the information of where it was found and who left it to a court of law to sue those bums for the cost she's out. Then send that information off to the current landlord just to give them a heads up. Oooh to be even more petty if he ever calls asking talking about how hard it is to find a place just say: "Really? How fishy." Hang up and block. The chair was damaged due to his actions and the actions of his guest. It's something they broke and are fully at fault for.

The one thing that is ignorant from Tyler is the fact that he lies about the sentimental chair OP owned. If he would have been upfront about it and helped with the repairs, that would have been good for him. What was worse is their vindictive revenge on OP with the fish in the air vents of the house. That is going to be very hard for OP to clean up and it could have brought even more problems for her. I'm not sure but I think bleaching that air vent would be something that might destroy the smell of the fish in the house. It's also destroying the bacteria caused by the fish and the unknown bugs that were created by the dead fish. I hope that OP didn't have an infestation of roaches or other insects in her house. Once she dealt with the fish, I also hope that she painted the whole house to remove the scent saturated in the walls.

He damaged property in the common areas of a place he is renting. I think she is well within her rights to comp that from the deposit just as you would if he had put a hole in the wall. He is lucky that she was willing to take it from the deposit because she could have had him fork over the cash out of pocket. The only reason she was a "stuck-up" landlady is because they disrespected her and the common spaces so much that she had to be strict.

Sad part is he likely gets claps on the back when he tells the story because Landlord is a dirty word to a lot of people.

I don't know the laws in other countries but in Germany for example, the deposit is there in case something breaks and it was done, accident or not, by the tenant. Accident or not, it is the responsibility of the tenant to take care of the belongings and place they rent. Either it will be taken out of the deposit or they have to pay themselves.

mark, I am a life long renter and it’s very fair she charged the deposit. The deposit is used to fix damage to the apartment incurred by the tenant. I’ve lived places that had a little more than normal “wear and tear” and it’s very fair and expected that the landlord will take your deposit to cover damage. That’s basically the whole point in my experience.

[@LisaApril]

Story one: it is fair for the landlord to charge the tenant for any damage done. If they notice the damage is done before the end of the lease then the tenant is responsible. Some landlords would make the tenant pay out-of-pocket while this landlord decided to use the deposit money. Deposit money is for damages so it was used correctly. Most leases include a clause for yearly inspection in which landlords inspect the inside of the apartment or house or studio for cleanliness, water damage, Damage to the walls or carpet etc. damage found must be paid by the tenant and usually does not come out of the deposit. But this situation was a little different and the landlord use the deposit money for the repair, which is fair.

[@torukurebayashi1960]

Deposits are to cover damages from the tennant, so it being used to repair the chair is perfectly fine. I would sue for the dead fish situation though. That is so incredibly disrespectful and disgusting. Considering that they already were so disrespectful the whole time, I'd have certainly not pulled any punches. Especially since in many many places the bad tennants are protected to an unfair level, while the good tennants tend to get the short end of the stick. Example: my Landlord just tramples all over us tennants, buys heating oil at peak prices, raises the rent to the maximum every year. Meanwhile I am renting out my late grandpas house a few cities away and the previous tennant trashed the apartment and basically blackmailed grandma to pay him for helping her with stuff she never asked for help for, and after he moved out he sued us for all kinds of things and won even though they had all been covered in the tennant contract he had signed. Our lawyer was shaking their head and could not explain to us how the tennant had won but we don't have the money to fight back because we still have a lot to renovate on that house. The rent is super low because of that and we have everything doublechecked by a lawyer to make sure everything is legal and good. If it weren't grandpas house we'd have it sold long ago, but he build it with his own hands..

Then the other was me recalling the story about the wife who stuffed curtain rods full of shrimp to basically stink her cheating ex out of the house. I honestly don't know which one of these I would consider worse. Fishy smelling sex furniture is pretty disgusting but not malicious, but the rotten fish is pure malice and fills me with anger for them. Ultimately the fish is probably better, I also somewhat enjoy when people hate me for being reasonable and honest (I have big "I told you so" energy).

The latter implies equal partnership in a shared dwelling, while the former is renting only a bedroom, & the use of a bathroom, + _sometimes_ a kitchen, from the home-owner. It seems like important communication was skipped, right at the outset. Tho even as a housemate, it's considered disrespectful to do things involving intimate fluids on the common furnishings of the home, for a lodger, it's just so very _wildly_ inappropriate that many landlords would boot them out instantly upon discovering the crime. Most lodgers - as again opposed to housemates - aren't invited to the living-room to begin with.

I get the feeling a lot of this might have been on Anna's behest, I can see her being more bitter and keen on petty revenge than Tyler.

[@stellamccoy5259]

If you rent a room in someone else's house it is still THEIR house!! So disrespectful for acting like they did. If I broke someone else's item I would pay to get it fixed no matter what.

Story 1: my granda passed not long ago and I’m getting his chairs that he got from his parents. If this ever happened to me ngl I’d have blasted them on social media and banned her from my house

[@cellesterampersaud9191]

He was in the wrong because he should not have been "wear"ing the chair for it to get a tear. That chair was off limits. He knew the sentimental value of it. He's just lucky that op was a nice landlord. Others would have had him out on the street for less. The entitlement of some people!

It’s great to see mark hit 100k, well deserved gang 🤞🏾

[@ryanwatt6706]

Oof if they married I'd get them a similar type of chair lol

Likely, it was illegal for her to take money out of his deposit. The fact she had access to his deposit money basically meant she wasn't doing it legally anyways. Well, I guess I can't say that, as laws in my area differs to other areas, but here it would have been completely illegal for her to take that money out of his deposit for replacement of wear and tear on furniture or replacement of furniture generally. It would be a civil case.

I can't even with Tyler and anna, what garbage people with no respect for their roomie/land lady. Like I've had a bad land lord lol and this just isn't that. Idk what I'd have done about the dead fish situation but I'd definitely have gone out of my way to, at the very least, trash his reputation, that's like beyond fucked up.

[@SurrealInfection]

Sure it all seems elementary and funny to leave a fish in a place to make a smell, I mean, we see it in old movies as a "harmless" prank, however, in the court of law that is a massive mistake. People can be sued into the ground for such things, as well as black listed onto the streets unless they move far away. Rotting corpses cause all manner of long term damage to a building, as well as financial if said building has a rent space or is up for sale. The perpetrator could wind up thousands of dollars into debt via physical damages, emotional damages, and loss of business due to the "prank". Let's not even get into the invitation to disease and pests that rot causes. If OP or family became ill, the perp would be seeing more debt and possible jail time on top of having a record, ruining whatever future he was working toward. (Edit: As an aside, if you decide to rent, provide an air B&B, or so on in your own home, especially for lengths of time that you won't be present, invest into external and internal cameras with low light and sound capabilities. It may seem extreme to some that haven't dealt with how horrible people can be, but it's worth the money and time. Plus, the cameras would be for more than just keeping an eye on common areas and tenants. cameras are a good deterrent for those with ill will. They make the property less safe to mess with , and when cameras are noticed it makes it look like the home has a contract with a security company. )

Ok but it’s rude and disgusting to have sex on other peoples/ communal furniture in any case. Just no respect.

[@sophies9274]

i find it particularly gross that one of their sex nests was apparently the kitchen

[@psychopony666]

I thought it was a toilet seat at first.
