Landlord constantly visiting - not sure what to do!

I'm male, and I can barely keep my spider plants alive never mind a farm of weed plants. :rotfl:

I realise now that I've perhaps been a bit prejudiced; he could still be after you if male so I doubt I needed to ask!

Personally I really like David_Evans' suggestion of having him complete landlord tasks on every visit, I think he will soon change his approach. Unless he really does like you.

Mr.Generous

Sounds to me like he's a bit of a busybody and a control freak. He wants to know what you're doing and why, he wouldn't leave his post so he thinks you should be the same.

You're going to have to be blunt with him. When he asks you something just politely tell him its a private matter / not his concern / nothing to do with him. And just stick to it. Its a business arrangement, you rent a flat, pay your rent, keep it nice and he should be very happy with that.

No.
Your first instinct was correct.
The part in bold is the MSM brainwashing kicking in.

Brothels, illegal activity and cannabis farms are a reality of life.
Men calling to visit other men hoping they will for some reason answer the door undressed is NOT reality.

Probably just one of those annoying people with very little to do and so constantly call on other people.
Probably just thinks he's being friendly.
I wouldn't read too much into it.
If he was going to 'make a move' he would already have done it after 18 months.


Having said that, have you changed the locks? All tenants should do this regardless of how friendly their landlord is.

Gay people do exist, they're not an MSM conspiracy.

Who paid for the door to be fixed?

The landlord (owner) nailed a big wooden square over it. It looked dreadful but better than a hole lol!

It's your prerogative to ignore it, but why not deal with the junk mail, one less excuse for him.


Did the landlord ever live in your home, perhaps he's overly emotionally attached to it still?

But they don't go knocking on other men's doors, just in case that man happens to decide to get undressed.

I'm not sure how someone can be a 'pervert' unless the OP is undressed?

My understanding of 'pervert' is a man who peeps through the curtains when a woman is getting undressed etc.

That's a strangely narrow definition. I think the word you're looking for is "voyeur".

According to the OED:

pervert: A person whose sexual behaviour or inclinations are regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.

I guess that depends on:

A: his wife.

Or husband.

I had a LL who did much the same, lots of visits, made inappropriate comments about my then OH. I know he unnerved the previous tenant. But I basically told him I was on my way out everytime he visited and the visits stopped. He got the message. I also changed the locks so he couldn't come in if he wanted to (although he didn't).

I don't think he was actually trying it on with me in a sexual sense, I think he had no filter as to what was appropriate and what wasn't. I think he got off a bit on 'power' as a LL and although it was rather worrying and intrusive at the time, we did iron it out every time he tried to insist he could do something that legally he couldn't. His partner was even worse and I had a few arguments with him, telling him where to get off. I have to admit though, the situation put me off private LL's for life. You don't need those kind of constant tussles. I'm not a person who enjoys conflicts but will stand up for myself when forced to.
