Got evicted because of brewing

[nightrider069]

So I have to be out of my place by the 30th of January. Just put a bid on a house today. Will post pic's as soon as it goes through.

 

[DU99]

that's a bit harsh..Hope things go well

Details? How does home brewing get you evicted?

 

[northcal]

That sucks, but I have been through your town before, so...

J/K, but I hope it turns out for the best if you get a good new house.

 

[nightrider069]

They think I am using propane which I did a year ago. Got rid of the propane because they think it is a fire hazard. now I use an all electric system. But because I am still brewing they think I am using propane.

Hope your new house has plenty of brew space and is not part of an HOA. They can give you trouble too.

30 days between bid and moved is tight but very possible.

Well if you seen the basement you would be jealous

Toilet out in the open, just like county jail. Mom would have loved it.

 

[nightrider069]

Hay it is what it is plan on turnings that into a half bath

 

[DU99]

even comes with it's own downstairs toilet..

 

[nightrider069]

Great for renting beer

 

[IslandLizard]

Nice brew space there! You are making me jealous.

Nothing better than owning your own home. Renting is only a temporary fit.

I once had the police called on me while I was brewing. Someone drove past my house and thought I was making crystal meth... in my driveway?!!! The cops were cool though, and I offered them (and they accepted!) a taste of the wort and I gave each a hop cone to take with them. Never had an issue again.

HOAs are crazy sometimes too, but they've never bothered me for brewing. Fingers crossed...




Also, that brown tile in the basement is most likely asbestos. Take care if you decide to pull it up.

Just being helpful. I'll move along now...

 

[z-bob]

If they are 9 inch tiles, they are asbestos. If 12 inch, they probably aren't.

 

[nightrider069]

Well I will look into that that is some good info guys

 

[nightrider069]

The original box to the title is in the basement I will look when I get back there for the inspection for the VA loan

The issue is when you break them up and the adhesive disturbance when removing the tile. I wouldn't remove them unless it was necessary for new flooring. You can't always trust the 9"-12" theory. The adhesive is the biggest threat, but only if disturbed and made airborne.

I'd leave them be, and just cover over if you don't like the style.

 

[nightrider069]

Like I said thanks for the info guys. Not sure what the do yet I haven't bought it yet but have an offer in now

 

[MindenMan]

Wow, nice basement! Whoever lived there before didn't suck when it came to interior finish. I see water on the wall and a window by the toilet, so you can poop and brew at the same time without fogging the place up.

 

[brewguyver]

even comes with it's own downstairs toilet..

Round here they call that the Pittsburgh potty. Was for steel mill workers to do their business and wash up before coming upstairs.

Congrats on the new place!

 

[DU99]

Thanks for that bit of info..."Pittsburgh potty"

 

[watermelon83]

Nice and congrats, don't skimp on the inspection, problems found now are the sellers problems.

 

[MattyIce]

Poop & brew in the same room. I can appreciate that.

 

[myerstyson]

But what about the eviction? What grounds do they have to evict you? Have you gone to your base legal office? (You mentioned VA...not sure if you're active or retired or other.)

 

[nightrider069]

well they say that a turkey frier is against the lease. I was using them for the boil. Now they use that for grounds for eviction. I don't know what they are worried about other than the burner being a fire hazard IDK. They consider that breaking my lease. But beyond that they done an inspection on my place about 8 months ago and went into my place without sending a notice 24 hrs prior to entering the place. Neighbors caught the maintenance man leaving my place this past spring to do ac maintenance with out notice. He also questioned them about the cabinet that I use for my brewing rig pictured hear.

 

[nightrider069]

And when I was using propane I was using it outside

 

[rocketsan]

Are barbecues allowed? I'd be fighting this...

 

[titansvol]

That sucks

 

[nightrider069]

I tried and they don't want to listen to me. They had there mind set on doing this. And yes barbecues are a loud.

 

[IslandLizard]

Technically, if you're not frying a turkey it's not a turkey fryer.

I think it's time to get out, but 30 days and being under the gun do not help in making the best decision.
