Yeah he seems like the kind of guy who lives nearby and might get… too involved in a bad way. He told the REA to send him a report of all the applicants immediately for his review, within earshot of us all. I can’t think of any reason why a LL would prefer a single tenant over a couple except that a single person is easier to bully/manipulate. I think I’m going with my gut on this one
Yep. More than that he might have keys and could randomly let himself in when you’re not home, place hidden cameras, invite himself over when you are there and push boundaries…
He dived to try and create a situation where he could have a massive power differential with/access to a single woman. Which is not a safe situation.
And being a single isolated person does make you easier to bully/manipulate.
Letting himself in when you are not home is probably a best case scenario. When I used to work at Legal Aid they had a case where they were doing an urgent Intervention Order for a woman who had woken up in the middle of the night to find the landlord and his son in the bedroom.
Yeah. It seems fucked up and extreme that women have to consider these possibilities but yeah.
Whether this guy “only” planned to become overfamiliar and harass a lone female tenant or he planned to push the boundaries in another way, this guy very obviously didn’t have good intentions.
Kind of stressed out for any woman who can’t find somewhere else before her lease ends or if he learns to be less obviously creepy upfront
