I'm moving out at the end of this month. We told our
landlord over 2 months ago. He called today and was
extremely rude, and said that he's showing the apartment
while I'm gone at work tomorrow.
Basically, I'm curious if, while he's showing the place,
I'm allowed to tell the people looking at the apartment
that I'm moving out because of the noisy neighbors
downstairs.
When I spoke to him, I said I was concerned because when he
had a guy come fix our plumbing, I specifically asked to
keep the doors closed while I wasn't home so our cat would
not escape. The doors were wide open when I came home
(luckily my cat didn't run away). I told him this today,
and he said "So what? I'm not a maintenance guy. I'm XX XX
and I'm the home owner." It almost made me wonder if he was
recording the conversation. He spoke very strangely and was
extremely rude.
So basically I was able to work from home, but I'm
wondering if I'm allowed to tell the people looking at the
apartment why I'm moving out? Is this illegal to tell them
the truth about why I'm moving out (if I know it would make
them not want to move in)?
