I have never been in a boarding facility, including for the brief time where I lived above one as the head groom, where boarding clients were permitted to access the property 24/7. That is not the nature of boarding. Weird response from this person but there’s a lot of small details that matter here that wouldn’t be obvious to a non-horse person.

It’s weird that pretty much all of these LL persons comments are about the apartment. Also calling other commenters old and boomers. LOL

The thing that reads really false there is the poster trying to simultaneously represent that they don’t know any particulars, yet they hold forth AT LENGTH about all sorts of details.
It’s also clear they know nothing about boarding horses b/c no one has access to the barn 24/7 in return for board. No one. That makes zero sense and other boarders would not tolerate their fellow boarders turning up at all hours and disturbing the horses, having access to equipment, etc. That’s not how it ever works.
Barns always have barn hours. It’s a place of business like any other.

That’s so funny. They didn’t even move into the house until ~3 months after the flood. So, from the first sentence, LL is just…wrong.

I didn’t see those long posts, but thanks to @iridedressage I found several shorter ones along the lines of
He wasn’t run out of his home. His house was flooded and he tried to kick out his renters so he could live in their home…the audacity…
So that’s the new storyline? How can she have been kicked out due to flooding when the flood happened before she took up residence? Or does she consider summer 2019 a continuation of summer 2018? Not that any of that actually matters to her, I’m sure, it’s just a new line of justification spouted to those who don’t know any better (or who she hopes don’t know any better).
ETA: oh, I see several others got in while I was typing!
Also, there are those ellipses that she so atypically managed to keep out of the long posts quoted above.

This is straight from the manifesto….minus the “I forced him to let me stay there” comments.

Thanks for posting the screenshots. I did not see an option to sort the order of the YouTube comments from my phone, so I had not found the posts from LL. I did notice the person spelled labor with a U in it, like a Brit or a Canadian might.
Would she have been that clever, or was it just a typo?

I guess I am going to have to refresh my memory of the manifesto!

I hate when people are aghast when a landlord wants to do something with THEIR properly. That’s one of the drawbacks of renting. You don’t own the property. Generally if the landlord wants the property back for themselves or their family, they can do so (with proper notice, of course).

Is that a request?

Wow. I didn’t see those rambling diatribes. “LL” is an interesting persona. Whoever they may be.

I didn’t notice that! The comments I posted were the most detailed. All the others by LL were along that line. The regular comments are brutal!

I also question the accuracy of describing MB as a landlord.
As far as I can tell, he was a horse person who let people stay on his property as needed in order to facilitate his horse business, whether they were customers or the working students or his employees.
In my mind, that is not exactly the same as somebody who is a straight up landlord, and takes rent in exchange for housing, and is up on all the ins and outs of it.
It sounds like he had been doing things the same way for years and years and years with no problems, until he made the mistake of letting the Ks on the property.

I was just trying to remember where I had to go to find it. It seems we need a reference archive for this case!

Legally, they were guests. There was no lease, no first/last months payment of rent. The occupancy was to be a short one - not even a year. There was no renters insurance, no specific checks paid stating it was a rent payment. The amount that was being paid was insufficient to include rent on top of multi horse training with an Olympian. No contract, no rental agreement, no furniture is even known. There was no kitchen and the house wasn’t a boarding house. Often, short term rentals require taxes to be paid and there is no indication of that.
There is nothing indicative of anything other than a guest situation.

I agree that there are lots of informal housing arrangements. Most people who are allowed to stay somewhere for free are then gracious when they need to leave.
It’s a special (and not in a good way) kind of person who accepts free housing and then shrieks about tenant’s rights when asked to move on. I’ve let two people (one family, one friend) stay in my properties for free. One I don’t ever want to leave b/c it’s such a comfort for me to have him there watching over/caring for the property (and I love him b/c: baby brother 
), but he used to ask me routinely if I needed the room, privacy, etc. and he would gladly find his own place. The other stayed 6 months and when we had other guests coming she graciously moved out and thanked us profusely as she did so.
That’s what good, reasonable people do in response to being given free housing; not dig in their heels and claim all kinds of tenant’s rights, even if they are entitled to them.

As if it’s common for boarders to have 24/7 access at a BNT’s barn? Interesting.

It’s not, as we know. Not anywhere for the most part. Besides why couldn’t the horse be wrapped by 9 pm? And since when can’t an owner state hours or change them?
