I have no idea if I made a thread about this last time, but the gist of the last issue is that I live in a granny flat that's in the backyard of my grandparents property. I pay $110 a week rent, and buy all my own food ect. My grandparents feel that even though I pay rent, and am entitled to the same rights as every other tenant, they are still allowed to go into my LOCKED granny flat whenever they like.
Last holidays I was in a massive rush as I was running late for a plane, I had to rush out the door for a week with my room having clothes thrown around. Yes, that is not particularly neat of me, but it is MY room which I pay for. I returned to find almost all of my possession in a box. Not just things that were on the ground, but things I had displayed on my dressing table. Things I had on my bathroom sink such as face wipes. All my shoes which I keep NEATLY lined up, just underneath my bed so they don't all get messed up in a draw. All of it was in the box outside my door, with a horrible letter. I was beyond furious, I hadn't been that angry in quite some time. I ended up getting over it, because for the mean time living here is a good deal, and i'm leaving soon so it's pointless at this point to move out.
So I thought we'd made it clear to each other, to come in my room and inspect is FINE as long as they give me a day or so warning, so I can make sure it's spick and span. Now, i'm in the middle of studying for exams. I go spend the night at my boyfriends because they had friends over and I wanted to be somewhere quite. I come home, they've left to go to their other property that they live at half the week, and there's a note on the table. I think I should also note at this point the other week my grandpa fell off our roof, and almost died. He luckily only cracked a few ribs and bruised his face pretty bad, but since getting out of hospital he has been in a constant foul and angry mood. He is actually impossible to deal with right now. So I think, him being the angry asshole he is right now, decided that if my room wasn't immaculate that i'd get a good telling off. Once again, they've come into my room, without letting me know, while I was out somewhere else, then quickly left the next morning so I wouldn't see the note while they were still around.
I'm angry but I've learnt that does nothing. I've ripped up the note they left on the kitchen table, left it ripped up in the fruit bowl, printed out tenant privacy laws, left them where the note had been. I'm going to obviously clean my room because they have the attitude of "if it's not clean get out", but if they'd given me say a days notice it WOULD have been immaculate. What they consider messy is a couple of jumpers on the floor, having make up on the basin, and not having vacuumed the whole place once a week (i usually do it every 2 weeks) and that's about it. Oh and a used cup next to my lap top. I can't think of any real punishment except that smart ass reply, make sure my room is clean so they can't have a go at me, and ignoring them completely until I leave. Well, i'll ignore my grandpa, but not my grandma who is generally lovely. He has turned into an angry old grouch who'll have no one left that loves him if he's not careful, he's being truly horrible and this is one time too many that he's crossed the line. All i can also think of is to leave condoms in my 'clean' room in stacks all over the place. That should piss him off a bit more as well.
What a fucking asshole.
