The Apostate Landlord Strikes Again
As some of you know we’ve been trying to get our moldy trailer we rent fixed as I lost my bedroom, studio and most of all my prayer closet to a leaky roof and flooding at the end of October last year. That room is still not fixed to this day, 6 months later. The reason? We weren’t paying enough rent according to the market value chart so we didn’t deserve to have it fixed. So last month we turned in our notice to vacate by May 31st. Why would we pay more and sign a new lease for nothing? Based on her current track record with us the past 6 years we know nothing will get fixed, we will just be paying more.
Fast forward to last weekend when my wife had a meeting of the minds with said landlord. She said she was going to fix issues in my room and everything else for a modest rent increase of $200. While my wife went into the weekend feeling good about things I knew better and I have had an unsettled feeling since Friday. Sure enough my suspicions were confirmed today.
Keep in mind I’ve done a TON of favors for this person, including taking care of her entire ranch with 13 horses for months at a time. To say I’ve put my blood sweat and tears into this place at times would be an understatement. In fact I had agreed to watch them again this coming weekend…until now. This afternoon she informed my wife Lisa that in fact the rent would be going up $500, not the $200 we had agreed to on Friday night. Not only that but the only thing getting fixed would be my room, not the rotten wall/window frame in the living room, or the rest of the leaky rooms would be addressed.
This is a person who constantly virtue signals about what a wonderful Christian she is and how much she loves us and her other neighbors as herself. If this is the way fellow believers treat one another is it any wonder the world calls us hypocrites? The Bible says that by their fruits you shall know them. I won’t go into details but her spiritual fruit as as rotten as the mold on my wall.
Please pray for us to find a new home ASAP. We need God to work one of His impossible miracles. In the meantime I will be taking a short break tonight while we gather our thoughts and do some praying. Blessings to you all.

The Lord Jesus transcends time, he knew this day would come even before the foundation of the earth. You belong to Him. I believe that the Lord Jesus is doing something in your life and hers too possibly, and I have faith that everything is going to work out. I will donate what I can, won’t be much, but I will be praying, along with others and that is worth a lot. Take a deep breath and know that you are covered by the Lord Jesus
We love you brother and most importantly the Lord Jesus loves you, he will not leave you or forsake you and you know this. The trying of our faith is going to be more and more intense. Hang in there
Huh. Sticky situation. Not trying to make cute puns either. Idk how it goes in Spokane but I’m Jersey if you rent a place and the roof leaks and there’s mold? You do NOT have to pay rent until they fix it. Of course this brings legal action into play. You’re supposed to put all the rent money in an escrow account and let the judge decide if the landlord gets the money or not. In Jersey, this has happened to me more than twice. And more than twice the judge has ruled in my favor. One of them revoking a slumlords legal ability to be a landlord. The judge told this person “if you cannot keep a DRY roof over your tenants heads you do not deserve to be a landlord. Therefore I’m restricting your ability to do it legally and you will not get another c of o until ALL of your properties pass inspection.” I’m sorry you’re dealing with a slum lord. God bless you.

“For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” (Isaiah 41:13)
Hang in there Johnny and Lisa… there is a plan. The Lord will definitely provide. In His will and in His time things are going to get better. ❤️🩹

Let her reap an abundant harvest according to Gal6:7 and Ps28, Father that she may know at last the one true Almighty God!.
I ask in Jesus name that my joy may be full.
