Feeling comfortable at home is essential for peace of mind.
In this story, a woman felt uneasy when her landlord began commenting on her daily routines.

Uh oh! Sounds like someone has a stalker. Read the full story below to find out more.
Landlord keeps making weird personal comments when I bump into him. Is this just awkward or crossing a line?
I rent a unit in a small duplex. My landlord lives in the other one.
At first, it seemed fine. Lately, he has been making strange comments when we run into each other.
He says things like, “You have someone over again?” and “I noticed you do not take your trash out often.”
He has even said, “You sleep in pretty late on weekends, huh?”
This woman started to feel uncomfortable.
I have never invited him in.
I have not said anything that would make him think he can comment on my routines.
It is starting to feel uncomfortable. He has not done anything that breaks the lease.
It feels like he is keeping track of what I do.
She’s wondering if she should take it more seriously and take necessary actions.
I have not brought it up yet. I do not want to cause tension.
I am starting to feel uneasy in my own place.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
Is it just a weird neighbor situation? Or is it something I should take more seriously?
Wow! Sounds like the landlord was being a little too observant to be casual.
I think it’s one thing to be friendly, and it’s another thing when you’re being too nosy about someone else’s routine.
Honestly, this sounds like it’s crossing into uncomfortable territory. Trust your gut when something starts to feel off.
