Have you ever had a Landlord that you’ve gotten along really well with? Some people can’t stand their landlords, but having a pleasant and friendly one makes a huge difference in your living experience. 

One woman was recently asked to help take care of her landlord’s children for an unknown amount of time while he and his Wife are out of town for a family emergency. Now, she’s not sure if she should say yes.

She’s 25-years-old and works full-time in a large city. Her living situation is quite unique, as she lives in the basement of a family’s home.

She doesn’t know the family, but the basement space has everything she needs, so she rarely has to interact with them. Anytime she has interacted with them, they’ve been nice. 

The man who acts as her landlord is the head of the family’s household and recently informed her that they would be leaving the country because one of his parents fell ill and was in critical condition.

He took his wife and kids with him and asked her to look out for any mail or packages they may receive while they were gone. She didn’t mind helping them with the mail and wished them well.

“A week later, he texts me and says his kids would be coming back, but not him [in] about a week from now,” she explained.

“He asked me to take his kids to school until he gets back. I don’t know when exactly that is.”

Her landlord added that she would be taking his kids to school for an “undisclosed amount of time.”

She thought it was bizarre for her landlord to ask for help with his kids. She doesn’t know if they have any other family in the area that could help them out.

She doesn’t understand why they need her help in the first place, as his two children look like they’re in their teenage years, and she believes they could afford some kind of ride service. 

When she expressed her concerns to her mom, she was told she was being selfish for not wanting to help. Now, she’s genuinely trying to figure out whether or not she should help her landlord.

“I haven’t called him about it yet because I feel bad, but like I said, I have a full-time job and live in a big city,” she said.

“I genuinely think it’s an insane thing to ask a random tenant to do without consideration of my job or my life.”

Should she help out her landlord, or does he need to find a different way to get his kids to school?
