My landlord lived in this house before me for years; he's nice, but really weird. 1. He TILED OVER the window in the bathroom - just the inside, you can still clearly see the window from the outside of the house. I asked why, he said "for privacy". He has blinds everywhere else.

2. Before I moved in, he had a bunch of chairs all over - way too many, kind of uncomfortable looking, lined up in awkward positions in corners. He said he liked creating various seating areas. I asked if he threw a lot of parties, he said "no, I've never had anyone over"

3. He installed a 2nd bathroom - not on the other side of the house that needs it, but DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE ORIGINAL BATHROOM. The bthrm is so small the sink pushes you to the side when you sit down, but at least now you can make eye contact with your buddy when you both poo

5. He had the entire house fumigated before I moved in despite repeatedly insisting he'd "never seen an insect in the house"

6. He didn't ask for proof of anything when I applied for the house. No proof of income, no background check, no proof of employment, nothing.

7. Several outlets in key places have "DOESN'T TRIP" or "DOES TRIP" signs stickered on top of them. He said "I don't know what it means, they were there when I bought he place, I've never plugged anything into those

8. My first week here, I asked him when trash day was and where to find the trash bin to put on the street - he didn't know which day, and there was no trash bin at all. "I never generated any trash," he said.

Down the street. The other day I was getting accosted by a neighbor who likes to talk a lot, and then I got a call from my landlord. I excused myself to take it and my landlord was like "i drove by and saw you talking, im saving u"

This thread (and the "i called you when I saw you talking to someone else" tweet) read like stuff on transcripts of murder files you see on crime videos. I too like weirdness and find it fascinating, but: Get out. Or at least assume things will go bad and get a contingency plan.

Maybe he's not the legal owner / he didn't really live there for as long as he claims. His answers sound made up & not looking into your background may be so you'd do the same. "Saving" you from talking to the neighbor fits with that too.

lol.... you like the weird & quirky, you will certainly find it there in endless supply. The city has changed leaps & bounds since I lived there & it was a very relaxed friendly place.
