My landlord is now charging me for having guests over like it is some kind of luxury resort
I just got an email from my property manager and I am actually shaking with rage right now. They just implemented a new guest policy that states any person staying past 10 PM is considered an overnight guest and will incur a twenty dollar fee per night per person. They even had the audacity to say this was to cover the additional wear and tear on the common areas and increased utility usage which is absolute bullshit because I pay for my own damn electricity and water.
It gets worse though. My sister is visiting from out of town next week to help me out after my surgery and when I told them she would be staying for five days they told me I had to register her ID at the front office and prepay the hundred bucks or she would be considered an unauthorized occupant and we could both face eviction proceedings. Imagine being a grown adult paying two thousand a month for a cramped one bedroom and having to ask permission and pay a toll just to have your own family stay on your couch.
This is what happens when housing is treated like a stock portfolio instead of a human right. These leeches wont be happy until every single interaction we have inside our homes is monetized for their next vacation home fund. They have cameras in the hallway and I am pretty sure they are just sitting there counting heads like we are cattle in a pen. I honestly hate this system so much it makes me sick to my stomach. We are literally paying these people to be our prison wardens and they expect us to be grateful for the privilege.
