ost.

I hate asking for help.
Especially when it comes to money type things.
This is incredibly embarrassing for me.

Here's what happened...
1. Wife made a post on facebook about finding resources to help with "slum lords" (this was posted to find information for a friend mostly, but was not referring to our landlord in any way)

2. Landlord got on someone else's Facebook (she has been blocked for privacy for years) and saw the post, and assumed it was about her.

3. She sent texts to my neighbor (who showed us the screenshots) asking about this post.

4. Not even 2 hours later, landlord's MOTHER knocks on the front door with a notice to vacate.

5. While her mother was standing on the porch, the landlord sent another text to the neighbor saying "I found the facebook post" she was asking about before.
The timestamp for the text message about the FB post, and the timestamp from the front porch camera are the exact same time. She was literally sending a message about this stupid post while her mother was delivering a hand written notice to vacate.

6. Other drama continued happening, landlord sent blocks of text messages to me that I saved, showing that she sent the notice to vacate as retalliation for a facebook post she thought was about her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a teacher, and I save money and budget during the 10 months I teach to cover the 2 unpaid summer months. After my last paycheck this May, the landlord decides to increase our rent by 400 dollars, effective very next rent payment, and then after rent was paid is when she sends the notice to vacate. This means an unbudgeted, unplanned, and I still don't know how we are going to pull off, across state lines move.

The good news - We found a house, but the closing date keeps getting pushed back due to seller repairs, etc.

The bad news - We were supposed to be out of our current rental by July 30. Closing has been pushed back to Aug 31. I told landlord we were not going to be able to move yet due to the closing date. This is very much still up in the air.

The help I need - The budget I saved for and planned was completely wrecked by this unhinged lease termination. I need help covering moving costs, etc, because I am honestly tapped out. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. I still have about a month before I get my first paycheck for the upcoming school year. My wife set up a crowd funded support page, and I am humbly asking (for old times sake?) if anyone can help out, or at least maybe pass it along if you know of someone who might be able to.

congrats on the house. at least you won't have to worry about bad landlords now. I don't have much to offer other than encouragement that you'll get to the other side of all this

8/4/2026 1:43:03 PM

i’m not reading all that

8/4/2026 2:04:50 PM

^^Thank you! I know this has solidified the choice to pay a mortgage instead of rent. (the new mortgage is about the same as rent was)

^TL;DR: I'm in a bind and am hoping a few people can throw me a few bucks to help.

8/4/2026 2:16:20 PM

^^The poster says their landlord terminated their lease after mistakenly believing a Facebook post was about her, leaving the family with unexpected moving expenses. As a teacher who budgets through the summer, they say a rent increase and delayed home closing have created a financial crisis. They are asking for donations or help sharing their crowdfunding campaign to cover moving costs.

thanks

your mortgage underwriter is going to require documentation of any monetary gifts received before closing

8/4/2026 2:23:33 PM

^I checked and there is no problem.

8/4/2026 2:27:33 PM

ok, cool

seller doesn’t repair things out of the kindness of their hearts, they do so because the buyer requests them as a condition of moving forward with the deal. if it comes down to another delay, you’re either going to have to concede some of those repairs or prepare to live in a tent.

just saw the update that your landlord agreed to let you stay another month. glad everything worked out.

8/4/2026 10:27:59 PM

^Where is the update?

No, cannot concede the repairs. They are required by the lender to close.

yeah. nothing is official with her ever. that's part of the problem... she told us 3 or 4 different reasons why she was ending our lease, only to finally slip up and say it was because of the facebook post.

8/5/2026 8:02:30 AM

Sounds like your landlord is completely unhinged. If it wasn't this, it likely would have been something else. What a psycho to get that upset over a facebook post.

8/5/2026 8:38:48 AM

Just curious, to what state are you guys moving?

yes, she is. she has also mentioned that she has been diagnosed and is medicated for paranoid schizophrenia. I don't know if that's part of it, and I certainly don't hold a diagnosis against a person, but it's a potential contributing factor. (and maybe it's not, I don't know.)

Just across the state line in VA. (I'm already 15 minutes from the border as it is. New place is about 50 min from where I currently live. )

^inb4 landlord sees your TWW posts and threatens litigation for defamation of character

8/6/2026 1:34:55 PM

^landlord about to come in here calling Smath a thief and liar. He's no Michael Glapion!

8/6/2026 4:25:35 PM

I'm not a thief!

8/6/2026 4:43:54 PM

Come say all of that to our LEATHER MYSTICS, you cock-OSTRICH!!

8/6/2026 7:14:05 PM

8/6/2026 7:17:41 PM

can someone refresh my memory

were there people living in Smath’s crawlspace at one point?

8/7/2026 12:54:40 AM

I thought it was under the porch.

8/7/2026 6:47:52 AM

^ That's what I remember.

According to this, Smath74 used to live in a snazzy apartment and would smash a younger brunette.

There will be peaks and valleys in life, bud. Keep on keeping on and ride a wave back to the top! Things will get better when you get out from under your bipolar landlord.

8/7/2026 10:55:47 AM

this was a fun read

/message_topic.aspx?topic=647191

also noticed that the most recent update on the support site said they were now 100% living off of donations, a statement which has since been removed

something fishy going on here

^^Dunno, my wife does most of the updates. It's pretty much true for the rest of the month. For now our goal is to get enough for moving truck/help.

And yeah, 2016 was a shitty year. Glad that's behind me. Lots of lessons learned there.


Anyway, I saw a donation show up the other day and they didn't put their name... do I have one of you to thank for it? If so, thank you!

8/9/2026 1:56:58 PM

Smashing a brunette was shitty?

8/9/2026 2:01:08 PM

Wife made an update... My car decided it did not want to continue operating... A main hose got a hole in it. I have patched it very temporarily with purple duct tape, but I don't think it will hold.

8/11/2026 5:51:33 PM

Duct tape only? No worm gear hose clamps?

8/11/2026 6:34:04 PM

note the constantly expanding scope of the needs here

this fundraiser is a scam

these people are sitting on enough money to be in the process of purchasing a house

their lack of liquidity and credit is due to personal choices and prioritization

there is no actual need here, only choices

[Edited on August 12, 2026 at 2:05 PM. Reason : .]

8/12/2026 2:04:08 PM

they claim to be living 100% on donations right now. it’s been enough to:
- purchase a AAA membership
- pay for premium services like grocery delivery
- they plan to buy an electric car after their home purchase closes

what the actual fuck? does that sound like a family that needs to hold some of your cash? this shit is bonkers

they are holding at least $6,000 cash (FHA loan requires 3.5% down payment and I’m guessing the house they are buying is 175-200k)

y’all are crazy if you think his wife fucks

8/12/2026 11:49:22 PM

Why would he risk not having enough for his down payment by dipping into it for some of these costs? Just because he has 6k liquid doesn’t mean he can just up and spend it.

8/13/2026 9:48:21 AM

If only companies offered money through some sort of credit or loan system

8/13/2026 12:15:27 PM

Yeah, but you have to pay THAT money back (with interest).

8/13/2026 12:19:51 PM

Hey smath, if you don’t end up getting enough through these donations, I would look at plasma donations. You could make at least $115/week, which might help you get through these tough times. If you and your wife both donated, that’s a decent amount of money coming in to see you through.

8/13/2026 2:33:20 PM

^Not a bad idea.

and to whoever - I would normally get a loan, but I have been specifically told NOT to even open a new credit card because they are going to check my credit again right before close.

AAA - Yeah her dad gifted us the membership.
Food Delivery? We don't use that shit. She has Walmart plus that offers free (i think) deliveries for groceries, that we've gotten once.
Fuck off troll.

8/13/2026 3:15:42 PM

Why is tww so stingy there’s more than 7 of us here. Who cares if smath is buying crack with this money— Hunter Biden said crack works

8/13/2026 4:38:37 PM
