(Venting) "Slumlord"= DANGER to Child plus Prop.Da

Has anyone ever rented from a "Slumlord?" Well, the guy I rent from NEVER wants to fix anything and all he does is bitch when something doesn't go his way. My little girl's (she's three) bedroom ceiling collapsed right beside her bed...WHILE SHE WAS LYING IN IT!! Because he claimed to have fixed the roof. Now I am going to be the one to bitch when he comes around to collect when I show him a stack (70~80 issue's) of 1960's Bat-Man and Teen Titan comic's that got ruined because he claimed to have fixed the roof. On top of that, I have to contact buyer's and tell then that said issue's WILL NOT be shipped due to this. Lastly, I should have gotten renters insurance. I know, I'm fucked.

Thanks for the concern man, I appreciate it. Yeah, I have picture's AND I have the moldy comic's with the prices on them. I'm going to show him those when he comes around.

Thanks bro. I appreciate the concern.

The books are a complete loss. Sickens me because it is hard as hell to sell comic's as it is, and now I just had to inform a guy that he won't be needed to send $1300 for the books he wanted. OUCH!!

Gee, think the slumlord will be upset that the rent is gonna be late?

Sucks about the sale.
Sucks about the ceiling too. Landlords can be assholes.
BUT WHAT WERE THE VALUABLE COMICS DOING IN YOUR DAUGHTERS ROOM???????
Thats kinda asking for them to be destroyed man! Kids like to destroy things too! I always put all my valuable things out of my son's reach. that way, accidents wouldnt happen to anything..regardless of whos fault it mightve been.
keep valuable things in safe places!

The comic's were in a different room that also had a leak. A bad one at that.

Hmm... Put the comics in a chest or something like that?

That really bites about the comics. But, and I'm sure you'd agree, I'd rather it be a few pieces of paper (worth withstanding) than your daughter. I'd say that luck has weird ways of letting you off the hook sometimes
