And isn't having "420" in your name a big red marker for identifying with a culture that could lead to legal trouble for any landlord. Do they still take away people's boats for a single seed? Or have we repealed that Reagan era bs?

Hell in NV. where you can buy a Person for any length of time you have money for, where you can gamble away your lifes worth and everything tide to it...yes, If you get the wrong cop...One seed! is all its worth!! Ya, you can beat it in court, providing you got 20,000.00 for court costs and a lawyer who will even take you case, with no money up front...GOOD LUCK<


420bunny, what the people here are trying to tell you, is that you didnt make a good enough opening statement..
"Im a stoner and boyfriend is a dJ...isnt promising roomate material."

Think before you launch.

And what you don't know about the peeps on here...is they have hearts bigger and deeper then the grand canyon.

But then again. we only rescue people who would work their asses off to pay it forward!

This is the first response you got, and you are either too snobby to live in a mobile home, or don't understand what a PM is (it's a private message), or you are new to Reno and don't know where Sun Valley is.

now.....if you seriously want help, plow through the snark that is here regarding your situation, and give me a PM(it's a private message, in case you weren't paying attention a few seconds ago)

look down....see the PM box under this post ?

click on it to send me one, or don't......... either way, good luck.

This sounds like a very, ahem, unusual situation. Are you renting there by the week or something? If you're renting by the month, you've prepaid that rent for 30 days . . . but it doesn't sound like it. Where I live, the landlord has to file a dispossessory and it takes longer than 2 weeks to go through the process -- the sheriff comes with a crew and removes your shit and sets it out by the street. (You may not want to go that route, but you could pick it up from the curb and put it in a truck and go on to your new place).

Moving 4 times in one year isn't a great rental "resume." Are you sure you are ready to be on your own? I mean that.
It's a long, strange journey to a restrospectively inevitable destination.

It's very apparent that you are young. And there's nothing wrong with that. Well, okay, I wouldn't be twenty again if you paid me 8 figures, but I wouldn't sell having gone through that either.
That innocent eagerness is sweet. And there are too many bitter oldsters here. We also enforce certain "community standards" such as "radical self-reliance."
I wish you good luck with searching for a place. I think your landlord is behaving illegally, but if you're not up to that kind of battle, then it's up to you to decide to move.
If you chose to stay around, you are welcome, all the snideness on this thread notwithstanding. You can toss out stories and get some advice--good and bad. You can even scold us when the next newb joins and we get into "bonding by snark" mode. It turns out LeChatNoir is not the only pussycat on this board.
So show us you can take it and we'll fall in love with you.

I think you confuse bitter with seasoned. As in seasoned in the belief that people should be responsible for their actions and the resultant consequences of those actions. Responsible for their choices. Responsible for most situations they find themselves in.

There are times I SERIOUSLY MISS the old Badger who earned his name and online rep in threads like this one. I'll take Miss Iso...but it's like someone handing you a shot of Jose Quervo when you really wanted Patron. It's just not the same.

True. Being young comes with growing`pains, but hey! we all get past that... Just because you're "barely 20" doesn't mean you're dumb. Not getting what you want served to you on a silver platter doesn't mean that people don't like you nor does it mean that they are picking on you. (Although this came pretty close and was hella funny)

If you read through the threads you'll see the different types of humor and personalities of the burners here come through... and these people, they're not ever attacking you or anyone else- try thinking of them as seasoned cats playfully teaching & fortifying you, the kitten, so that you may grow up and become "radically self-reliant" (I haven't been to BM yet, but I've got an inkling that this is what most BM'ers have in common with each other. Just maybe.) I personally don't take even constructive criticism well- but hey, I've only got a few years head start of ya.

It sounds like you're doing a lot better than I was doing a few years ago when I was 20. You have identified whatever issues you want to deal with, and you are now proactively (as best as you can) going abouts trying to deal with and solve your problem.

I'm not defending anyone here. Hell, I barely even met them. But from what I can tell, they're only trying to help.

Good luck in your search!

(also, reading up on what's legal/illegal might be a good idea. Know your rights!!! That way you can spot it when landlords/(other people who might want to cause you trouble within the law) are doing something... like kicking you out illegally? or abusing whatever power that they have.... etc.)
