So I just got the most unhinged text from my landlord and I am still trying to process the level of entitlement it takes to even type this out. I rent a small house and pay an extra seventy five bucks a month for a dedicated parking spot in the driveway. It is in my lease and I have been paying it religiously for over a year. Well apparently the leach decided that owning the deed to the property means he also has a right to control everything sitting on it including my personal property.
He messaged me saying that I need to drop off a spare key to my car at his office by Monday morning. His logic is that since he owns the driveway he needs to be able to move my vehicle at any time in case of an "emergency" or if he decides he needs to do maintenance like "trimming the hedges" or "resurfacing the area" without giving me notice. He actually had the nerve to say that as the landowner he has a right to clear his property whenever he sees fit and my car is just a guest on his land.
I told him absolutely not and that my car insurance specifically prohibits giving keys to unauthorized third parties but he just doubled down. He said if I do not comply he will consider it a breach of the "cooperation clause" in my lease and will start charging me a daily "obstruction fee" of twenty dollars. It is a car not a piece of furniture and I am paying for the spot. These people literally think they bought a human being along with the property. The idea that I should give a guy who cant even fix a leaky faucet full access to my vehicle just because he owns the dirt underneath it is peak landlord brain. I am honestly worried he is just going to call a tow truck next time I am at work just to prove a point because these parasites cannot stand it when a tenant actually has boundaries.
