Landlord Issue 11.1.3>7

[steve]

Hi Everyone

Just need a little help understanding this reading

I have given notice to my landlord he and doesn't like it as he has just retired , and even thou he is wealthy goes on and on about money.
he is thinking he is going to charge me all this money, and try and find anything he can its a long story but there are many factors to the issue.
He is sending daily emails, he knows i am now in another country,

I simply asked what do i need to know about this situation.

Are the lines giving me advice on just worry about staying happy and at peace within myself and i am not going to change the way he acts? Or is it advising to come to an agreement ?Or do you see something different?:bows:

There are a lot of details missing here, but it seems that you left the country before the matter with your landlord was resolved. This has lead to conflict and arguments. It looks like the I Ching has reflected the situation back to you like a mirror and not really said what you should do about it.

Ok thanks for the reply maybe why I couldnt understand the answer,

You said there are many factors to the issue, and that he's sending you emails every day - that sounds like the first line, 11.1.

7 might describe your landlord - maybe he's gotten sucked into "battle mode" over this, and can't see reason.

How have you been responding so far? Maybe it will work out best if you respond to each issue that comes up, unemotionally, sticking to the facts? Try not to provoke him more, and don't ignore it.

11.3 (from Hilary's book)
'There is no level ground without a slope,
No going onward without a return.
Constancy in hardship is no mistake.
Do not sorrow about its truth.
In eating and drinking there is blessing.'

Is there any truth to anything he's saying? If there is, 11.3 might mean it will be best to accept it. "Eat and drink" what he's "serving" you - "do not sorrow" about it. The line says there will be "blessing" in this.

Had this once - about a holiday with a friend. I did go off without resolving and in hindsight I should have dealt with it more proactively - if not just to lessen the time I felt drained by the whole episode. Things were sorted in the end but life is too short to spend energies on such matters - 7 is an army in waiting. Perhaps wait for an email from him and try and end things amicably ...

Thanks heaps for the replies its much appreciated, you guys have done well considering the limited info I have given.

Without boring you I can give you a background image, I have been there for 5 years and 10 months so he has recieved over 60 000 dollars from me, his daughter rents the main house i was in the studio apartment.
Where i lived the law goes like this you can start off with a fixed term lease agreement and then if no-one does anything it will automaticaly evolve into a periodic tenancy.
It does state that you need to give 21 days notice if you decide to leave with a periodic tenancy.

However with the original agreement my gas and electricity were included in my rent.
As the years went on the cost of these utilities has gone up signifigantly, the utilities were not in my name they were in his daughters. There were at least 6 instances of the power and gas being cut off, it cost me a fortune as I worked from home, just before i left the gas was cut off and i gave his daughter 500 dollars to get the thing back on
Then there is the matter of my door which had a gate that gave access to the garage to the main house, people would use this to enter the house, this is not the main houses access point there are three other ones. I mean everyone there whole family so what I ended up with was broken door that slammed and a gate that slammed with the wind and people using it, I was going down the stairs 5 times a day to close the gate.
I didnt want to complain because i was friends with his daughter and it would coz problems on a neighbours level.
The other thing is that there is 4 weeks in bond left and when i moved in it was a furnished property, he sent me an email saying that i wouldnt be getting any bond back because he needs to replace certain things.
He is wanting to use my bond to replace items that are his and have ceased to work due to wear and tear, the law clearly states i am not responsible for this.
For example when i moved in there was a television there it was analog then everything went digital and it was useless so i got a new one, now he doesnt want that TV, there was also a bed the bed constantly collapased so i got a new one, he said the bed is too big for the mattress so that's no good either.
I dont even need to replace this , its his job
These are things he should replace as part of the original agreement as that is what he basing the 21 days notice on, so in the original reading 11.3 it may be me who needs to state facts.
i have 3 cable boxes on the property that need to be returned i tried to get this organised but the daughter was having extreme marital problems and i needed her to help with this, she was totally unapproachable.

So basicaly the original agreement is null and void for many reasons.

In general he was a good landlord until he retired then he became a complete pain in the neck
So now he is looking at the whole situation with horse blinkers, he is blunt and rude in his emails
When i could not get online and had to pay a months rent he was nice as pie saying please do the right thing, when i did finally get online i payed up to date only to now have him act like this, so i have done the right thing.

So i believe now he has cleared out my stuff and has sent another email saying he wants the forms signed for the 3 weeks rent, i will be sending him an email tomorrow saying we need to slow down a little, first i want the cable boxes returned then i want to see the original property condition report and a copy of the original agreement then we will proceed from there.

I asked the yi what do i need to know now about the situation and received 16.4>2 Hex 16 is not one of my strongest points so if you could help i would be more than grateful.

I want the best advice I can get on this on what to do so I can move on.

Thanks heaps
Steve

Everything you are doing is correct. Harbor no doubts.

 

[Liselle]

What a mess. I really have no clue here, but it's likely my previous post is ridiculous, at least the part about going along with what he's saying (ignore that :bag.

Combining the first reading with what Ginnie's saying about 16.4 - maybe it really is that simple - you're doing the right things; just keep at it, one part at a time.

Good luck. I can't imagine dealing with this long-distance.

 

[steve]

Yes some reason when I recieve 16 its one of the hex's i get stuck on, I did look through the old threads and Bamboo had a brilliant take on 16.4 that just carry on you have support etc , thanks heaps for your imput its not the end of the world its just omg another email, he sent me an email last night at 8pm on Sunday night all it said was " are you going to sign the forms"
This needs to end today,

Like I said he was a really good guy until he retired but i am dealing with a different person, I believe he is having personal issues with his family as since he has retired he has no friends or hobbys and is bored out of his mind. So when something like this arises he dwells on it, any I will just state the facts. I was happy to sign the bond over which is 4 weeks rent but he wants more than that, so it may get slightly complicated

Thanks allot for your replies its nice to have your support as well.
