My current saga. My landlord wants me to sign a new lease that gives me only two hours notice to show the house to potential buyers, upon which I am supposed to vacate the house—and if I don't do that three times, he can evict me. Two hours notice. In the middle of a pandemic.

Seriously, ongoing saga all summer that has eaten up so much of my productive time! Landlord lives in Mexico, seems to me like a lot of generational wealth, says he's "entrepreneur/filmmaker" & a mobile apps developer. I keep making reasonable offers, no go. We're in a pandemic!

Not everyone is going through the same pandemic, I suppose. I'm just flabbergasted at the callousness and the greed that people can carry on, through something like this. I shouldn't be but I still am.

Yeah, if I get evicted, I'm live-tweeting it with names. I should be doing the kind of work I can do to help people in the middle of all this, instead of have so much of my time eaten up by this kind of nonsense. Incredible.

Yes, I have a lawyer. And, no, I don't want to move in the middle of a pandemic when I have a valid lease. It's not safe or healthy, and people should not be forced to move right now. Moving=huffing and puffing movers inside the house and work...https://twitter.com/marylande/status/1313215557043449858 …

If I refuse the new lease and stick with the existing valid one, they are trying to then increase my rent by a huge amount (the legality will have to go to courts) and claiming they will enter for showings *anyway*.https://twitter.com/fascinatorfun/status/1313214447222226945 …

Seriously, I should be working on another piece trying to explain some other aspect of the pandemic, teach and mentor my students, take care of my own stuff... It's been like this for months, and I made many reasonable offers, going out of my way. Nope, nope.

So
#NCPol question. Anyone in North Carolina regulatory offices want to chat about landlords forcing unsafe showings on tenants? I’ve learned that other states have actual guidelines on this. I’d love to be a test case! Some good out of all this stupidity. https://twitter.com/lenert/status/1313226431724285952 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread

Can you call this a breach of contract and go somewhere a little less stressful?

Depends on the location. I think she's in NC, which from a quick search doesn't appear to have tenant protection against entry. Might be some city or county laws that add protections, though. https://www.avail.co/education/laws/north-carolina-landlord-tenant-law … https://www.wral.com/law-doesn-t-protect-nc-renters-from-people-entering-their-homes/13852869/ …pic.twitter.com/dNQA7b1Qpm
