How do I deal with an overbearing and nosy landlord?
Answer:
Maybe they are lonely, and it's sort of nice to have someone looking out for you. I don't think there is any way to ask them to "back off" without seeming really rude and bitchy. I think you are a sweet girl for putting up with it.
Buy your own place.
open the door in the nude next time the old guy knocks on your door!
DONT TALK TO THEM!...give me my 10 points in a grinder with turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, and oil
Go to their apartment and ask what is for dinner.
They are just being friendly or perhaps he is bored or lonely,
Find you another place---You and them are not compatible
They're sweet. You need to move.
UGH! You're in a tough situation! Let's see. I think you should seriously consider moving or just putting up with it. If you tell them to back off, they're going to be hurt and things will be uncomfortable for you from now on. If you say nothing and nothing changes, YOU'RE going to be uncomfortable from now on. I'm pretty sure this isn't what you want to do, but I just don't see how else to remedy this without ruining civil relationships.
that's a good one i thought landlords where supposed to be nosy
You will need to move.They sound like they miss their daughter/kids, or maybe never had any, and now your it.It won't stop...sorry for your luck.
move.it wont change until you do.
Accept it or move out. They are treating you as family. Try to do things for them/with them at your own time so they aren't bothering you so much, like take coffee and donuts over in the morning, or ask them if they want to go shopping with you when you have to go anyway.. Trust me these people don't mean to "annoy" you or spy on you, they just treat you like you are one of them, that means they like you! Think of them as "Grandpa and Grandma Landlord" and you'll find out they are probably very kind and loving - not nosy.
first of all its not sicily. it is cisilian, and if they are bugging u that much start looking for a new place to stay.
CONFRONT him.. let him know that you feel like your gettin' nagged like you were living in your parents place. Umm. You can actually go online and print a LANDLORD priveledges thingy and highlight your main points and sit down and talk to your landlord about what's bothering you, showing him he may not be allowed to do this and as your RIGHT as the tenant that pays you can do what you want, well ALMOST. Lol. I know i lived directly above my landlord and as a 21yrs old I'm considered "NOISY" cuz I stay up past 8pm lol. so we tried to keep it down. We'd always run into our landlord when climbing our stairs and she was quite nosey. we just said hi , smiled, and kept on walking like she wasn't talking to us. Acted like we were in a hurry to get somewhere. Sounds mean yes. but it works. And she eventually got the hint and let us have our space. She'd check on us once a week, but it was to make sure our electricity and stuff like that were fine. Cuz it was an old building. but yeah CONFRONT your landlord. Good Luck!
get to know them they sound like a great pair of substitute grand parents they are probably missing thier kids and grandkids
the benefits out weigh the nosiness
Count your blessings that someone cares. Be nice since they are older maybe they are just lonely. Keep a clean home.OH YEAH, wanna trade places w/me?
There is a thing called Renter's rights. If they get out of hand with things like making sure your house is cleand ect. Thats where the rights come in handy and you can copy it for free I think. @rentersrights.gov maybe.
I would recommend 3 things:
1. talk to them: I don't know how open they might be, but I would suggest first to explain to them how you feel when they check on you all the time. Be calm when you go and talk to them, don't approach them when you are upset.
2. cut down on the friendliness. Be cordial, but maybe not too much socializing, or you going over to see them (I don't know if you do that). Keep it a business relationship.
3. don't feel forced to open the door. It might be difficult at the beginning, but eventually they will realize that just because they knock, they will not always get an answer.
If all that does not work, you might need to think of finding another place. Good luck!
Ignore them. You can remain polite and still be aloof. Avoid contact, even eye contact, as much as possible and appear to be too busy to engage in conversation. You're entitled to your privacy and as a tenant you're paying for them to respect it. And if they still persist, I guess you just have to tell them to back off.nicely.
Tell Mr Roper that if he does leave you and Janet and Chrissy alone that you'll buy Mrs. Roper 2 tickets to the opera tonite. He'll back down for sure 'cause he hates the opera and he doesn't want to make whoopie with her afterwards.
stop complaining and be grateful.To be provided with landlords who care for the welfare of a young woman who is not their relative,and you're beefing? What an ingrate!
try to approach them first, catch them outside and ask how their day is tell them you just got done cleaning and doing the dishes try to beat them to it then they wont feel they need to ask those particular questions. but they will try to make small talk just go with it. if it really bothers you maybe you should move.
god forbid you bring someone home one night that will really stir things up. lol:)
talk to his wife , tell her that you don't like him always around and that ur moving out if he doesn't stop
They are both adorable and annoying as hell, and you feel guilty about saying anything, right? lol
Try not always answering your door and if they say anything to you later, admit that you were home but needed some quiet or private time, or that you weren't in the mood for company.
Extracate yourself little by little.
