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.
