tetra316 0 #1 September 1, 2007 The background is a long story but the short version is there are a couple of us renting rooms in a house. The landlord is in Hawaii and has been ignoring our requests for certain repairs till he gets in town. Well he is in town now and is staying at the house as we have a empty room. He and a his friend (freaky looking girl with about 50 facial piercings) comes by this afternoon to meet us before he settles in here for two weeks. After they left we found these drawings hidden behind two pictures on the wall. His friend had been sneaking around hiding them before they left. So what the hell do these mean????!!!! And why the hell did they have to sneak around to do it???!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tetra316 0 #4 September 1, 2007 I'm thinking it's something to do with new age stuff since he's an acupuncturist and into alternative healing stuff. Plus the way he decorates his house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tetra316 0 #7 September 1, 2007 No, I don't know what it is that's why I mentioned both. It's what popped into my mind. But I AM a little freaked out that someone had to sneak around our house and hide it. No matter what it means. Wouldn't you be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't even live in the same state anymore. He's only here for two weeks. Do you think it's normal for landlords to come into your home and start hiding things when they don't live there? His name does seem to be in some of the letters but I don't know who she is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's something very innocent like she decided to do up a little artwork to leave you as a gift for putting them up for a few weeks. Maybe you'll learn something new. What made you look behind the pictures to find them anyway?'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tetra316 0 #15 September 1, 2007 Of course I'm going to ask about him about it! (he won't be back till tomorrow) I wouldn't have even thought twice about it except for the fact that they had to HIDE it. My other roommate saw the friend snooping around our living room and looking behind the pictures while she was in the living room by herself. We found them after they left. The whole thing freaks me out because they were deliberately hidden. Why didn't they just hang them up on the wall? Are they too ashamed of it to let us know and just hang them? If they are ashamed of it, it makes me wonder what else he is hiding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You strike me as being a very logical person which is probably why this is freaking you out. There's no logic to it. Personally, I think you're reading WAY too much into it. So she's a freaky girl with a tackle box face. I knew a girl like that once. She turned out to be pretty cool. "Don't judge a book.." comes to mind. Keep an open mind and I hope it turns out to be nothing. And promise that you'll let us know what he says. This is rather interesting. I'm curious as to what the symbols mean myself! Good luck!

Douva 0 #21 September 1, 2007 QuoteI thought you said it was a rental and he was the landlord? Doesn't that technically make it "his" house? Not exactly. The lease holders have a leasehold estate on the property; therefore, the landlord (and his unique friends) don't have carte blanche to treat the house as "his property." For the guy who seems pretty determined to come across as the open minded man of the people in this thread, you don't seem to be a very big proponent of tenants' rights.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Therefore it is our business. If you rented out a place you owned to someone would you still feel you had the right to decorate it?

It's just ink in a normally unseen spot. I don't think it's anything worth losing sleep over.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if he wants put up pornographic murals on the walls, is that okay too? And if he wants to knock down all of the non-load-bearing interior walls and make a big, open, communal living space, is that okay too? Fortunately for Tetra316, you're not an Oregon state judge, so what you feel is irrelevant. What IS relevant is the state's rental code/property management code, which exists to prevent and/or provide solutions to such problems.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.
