Correspondence with my landlady - End of the story (at least I hope !)
Suite of my last post...
I answered my landlady:
“Do you mean you need to take stuff in the room or actually sleep in the room?
Honestly, I would not be too comfortable with the second option...”
I was very worried though and she was not answering. What if she would just come and stay? Imagine me explaining the cops that she is my landlady and I am the tenant but she is the one they should throw out?? I can pretend all that is fun, if she wants to get rid of me it is very easy for her and I love my place!
So I called my broker, who called her broker (and cousin). The guy said that he had received a mail from my landlady saying that I was not comfortable having her over and he should find her a place for 3 weeks.
And do you think she would have told me???
I swear…

Correspondence with my landlady - My trip to India.... in February 2011
I kept the best for the end… I am renting a 2 BHK but one door is locked. So naturally my landlady invited herself for 3 weeks. Has she lost her marbles??? It pissed me off so bad!!
Dear Emilie,
I have plans to travel to India for 6 weeks i.e. (3rd Feb to mid March). It is just me alone coming down for some urgent work in Mumbai and Goa. I will be in Mumbai for 3 weeks and Goa 3 weeks.
I will need to use my bedroom for 3 weeks whilst I am in Mumbai, as all my things are there.
I was wondering if you are having any business trips coming up.... so that I can plan my itinerary accordingly.
I know you travel a lot and so I thought, if I were to plan my mumbai stay accordingly, I wouldn't cause you much disturbance.
I don't need to be in Mumbai continously for 3 weeks..... I could split it ( 2 weeks and 1 week).
Kind regards
XY

Correspondence with my landlady- Pet Policy
I was nice enough to ask if I could keep a cat. What is this stupid excuse of saying it might create a problem (with the ugly, old and handicapped) neighbour dog. That thing can not even walk!
We have not had any guest have pets on the premises, as I and my older son are allergic to cat fur.
However my younger son Troy has a pet cat Frodo and he has just won our hearts.
(and of course ruined our furniture ... using it as a scratch post !)
The next door people have a dog and I am not sure how this would work...
They would try any "excuses" to make problems.
I understand you are alone and would love a pet... but if you could hold it for some time ... I should be down and we could talk about it then.
You take care.
Love and best wishes
XY
