Wow...time has been going fast.

Had a few loads come in and was not able to get to them as my landlord wants to be a real....use your head on the words I would love to use....but he has been causing issues stealing **** and new thing he told me he will do is have my trailers towed tonight...I removed the one trailer I cant have towed and I will let him tow the one....if he tows it then I will just tack it onto the court case I am building on him.

In short in the last few days he has told me to get the hell out....cut my power, cut the cable line (no web) had a car parked in front of my door (of course he did not know who it was...but remembered real fast when I backed my truck up to it and got my chain hook used to pull pallets around...and auto was removed) and over all...he just went freaking nuts on me....still trying to find out why but was told to get out this month (told me on the 23ed) told him that he can do that as it was illegal and that the law states 30day....(already have that reported with police and they said if unit is locked call them and they let me remove lock) bet he still will try to lock me out...but not worried about it.

Boy ooo boy...its crazy.


but on a side note...it was fun seeing you this past week Big Tex when I was in town...I will say that was a long drive back to Dallas...got there about 12 that night.

Is that a landlord from your house (place of residence) or the building you just rented??? I sure don't envy you.

The warehouse I was renting. He just flipped out and when the cops where called and a huge blow up happened...the cop told me on the side that this is not the first time they had to come out because he "flipped" out and if he wakes up and has it in his head he hates you he will do what ever it takes to just drive you up the wall.

call a lawyer too. Do you have a lease? Go to a home improvement store, buy a cheap wired camera and use a pc to act as a dvr and just record your place 24/7 until you get moved. CYA man CYA

cant do much with him randomly cutting the power to the unit. Yes we had a lease but...well long story short get every lease checked by a lawyer because in the long run he can do some of the things he is doing because the lease is not as "clear" as it needs to be...but that also works in my favor. But I am taking recordings and getting paper work here and there to build the court case.

Sorry you are having these problems easy. Maybe if he flips out sometimes, he'll flip back and be nice, but it sounds like it would be best to leave there if you can. What a bummer.

Ain't that a b^#ch. I would call a goon and break his legs but I am also Italian. Easy when you planning on making that trip to the great state of Missouri?

Still planning but I have to take care of the issue I have going on here. My mother is a New yorker and my father is a east coast as well....I was born and grew up in Texas...not the best mix to get mad...so..what he has coming is not going to be good but...will be done legally.

All the same place but different sqft. You could get in a place with the same size but cheaper rent.

pretty reasonable prices

I looking at a few options as of right now but even at the same time I was already looking as I needed another building and or a bigger building for my company...he just the topping on the cake and there where a few things there that I did not like very much.

Yea we have some cheap rent down here because its a very large place and a lot of warehouses sitting empty. I have found a few I want to look at over the next few days.

I love just looking at the rent there. I wish those were the prices around here, and I wish that there was that much property to pick from. I am getting jealous..haha.

Yes it was easy! Thanks for spending the day with me and taking me with you on your business adventure. I learned a few more secrets of success from you. BTW, no more curbs happen to hit you, did they?

Mean people suck.

Call the Goon Squad lol. anyone remember this line "Don't make me call the goon squad" "I think you ARE the goon squad"

Sorry to hear that man. Sounds like he isn't much of a businessman or people person for sure. Stuff like you are describing, would not fly around here!

kick him in the nuts, bro

Ok he just put me into a loop...I have been very busy as you all should be able to tell (not been on site) as I have been looking and hunting for a new spot that fits my needs just right. Well he came around yesterday and said in a round about of way if I had found a new place, I just said I have a few options but nothing set in stone. He left and alittle later in the day he said he wanted to talk to me....he said he hates being the "mean" guy but at times he just goes on a rant (I have now heard this from other people) but he is "over" it now and if I wish to stay I can....what the hell lmao

All I know now is I am staying here and still going to do some space hunting but one thing that I did come by is there are some good warehouses in the 500k mark that are 10k+ sf up to 20k sf and they are NICE so who knows this year or next year I may own the building so I wont have to worry about landlords. Until then my plan is to stay here and stack up until I am 90% over loaded and then get a bigger building to rent...or buy just based on what my needs are at the time.

Look up renter's rights in your state. You would be surprised how much the law protects the renter. My sister has been able to successfully get out of 2 leases and won a case in small claims court just by knowing the laws in NY.

Man there is no way in hell I'd keep doing buisness with a person like that. At any moment (always happens when you are down on your luck it seem) the guy could whig out again and send you packing. I'd play along with him and keep looking for a new place and then when the moment is right I'd dissappear in the night to the new location. This is your buisness and you don't need a headache like that. It's tough enough to make it scrapping without that hanging over you.

Thats my plan and what I am working on. I am thinking of buying the place and not rent so I am looking into a few options but around the DFW there are alot of building both up for rent and for sale so alot of hunting and looking around.

I went through a similar experience a few months ago. Landlord failed to pay his property taxes and some sharks bought it. Kept playing games and telling me to get out. I refused to give them any rent money until they fixed the place up. I was threatened, sworn at, heat turned up to 95 degrees, power turned off (ruined a monitor), entrance door taken away, locks jammed with wood shavings, and all kinds of stuff. When I called the police, they told me it was a civil issue and there was nothing they could do about it. Finally found a place after a few months. Unfortunately, I had to take a studio apt. and sign a lease for a year, but at least I'm out of there. So now I'm scrapping in a dinky little room where I can hardly move. But so be it. I'm much happier now.
