You can try, but if I were your landlord I’d make your life miserable as you moved out. Zero flexibility and the unit better be pristine when you vacate. It’s not that big of a deal, just be a decent human and cooperate.

Seriously!

Much better to be cooperative. Just wear a mask and ask them to wear one too when they visit.

Or better yet, leave for a few hours.

Or provide them time slot in which you won’t be in the apartment, like in the morning of some weekend, or afternoon when you go out for coffee or dinner.

Yea I would be annoyed too even if it wasn’t Covid. I’m a germaphobe and wouldn’t strangers walking through my place and touching my stuff I.e. door knobs, etc. But I never lived in an apt so don’t know if it’s normal to be required to show the place while you’re still occupying it.

What does your lease say ?

If you’re renting there is really no way you can say no in perpetuity. They most likely have the right to enter when they need to as the owner of the property. Find a time that works for you but if you’re moving out, they are going to show the apt.

It’s usually written into your lease that landlords can come through as long as they give 24 or 48 hours notice.

Make it a requirement masks and booties must be worn and will not be provided.

That’s unreasonable.

After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I love my sister, but I’m so sad about my current state. I don’t know how to feel better.

Not sure if anyone has experience with this but figured I’d ask. My 8yo daughter has been gaining weight over the last 2 years.

I’ve gotten rid of all unhealthy food in the house but she will eat a lot of everything, always wants seconds and very hard to control. I don’t know what to do. Is it too early for a nutritionist?
