Our plans were to be in it only for about 5 years then sell and buy a diff/bigger/better house. We have put a lot of work into our house, like updating the kitchen. Now that was a chore, we had a work crew here that started it then gave up because plaster walls are not completely level and the cabinets were difficult to put up. We decided to tare a wall down to open our dining room and kitchen up, well once again plaster, the ceiling started to sag and a large beam had to be put in to fix that. We did find a wonderful man who finished our kitchen for us but we have little things here and there, spiders, water bugs, a tub we had resealed and recalked, we have caulked it over and over again. I have mold on the shower ceiling I need to tackle, Carpet needs replaced and walls repainted. Although I will admit my problems seem small compared to yours, I am blessed with our house. I will say one more thing, our first child was born a week after moving in(this is a two bedroom house) 2 yrs later, #2, and 2 1/2 yrs after that our 3rd. We have had to do some shifting and remodeling to make us all fit but it is a roof and it is ours. I am blessed. YOu will be in my prayers. I am sure God will bless you for your sacrifice. Bev.

Time to have your landlord call roto-rooter or some other plumbing/cleaning company. It sounds like maybe you have a clog in your pipes somewhere.

It really is so hard when your home is not something you can make reflect you....ours was torn up for a long time, and I felt so bad that no matter how hard I worked on it, I still couldn't fix the things that need fixing. Keep looking for a way, because I'm sure He has a plan to see you in a good place for your family. Good for you for looking for His will for your family.

I do know that he wants you and your family to be healthy and I am not sure your house is meeting those needs right now.

Do you have a rental agreement that states these things? I'm praying for you, Carolyn--that God will give you a sparkling new place to live! {{{hugs}}} I agree with Ginger; there are laws that protect tenants and require the landlord to hold up some extent of maintenance.

Look into the Landlord/Tenant laws for your state. If you have a good relationship with your landlord, perhaps you can sit down and discuss these issues, and they will fix them. If not, report them - rentals must be safe for the tenants. The mold and sewage back-up are big concerns, as they can be health hazards. Best of luck! I hope it gets better!

I am in the exact same position!! We moved to Florida almost three years ago. I loved the first rental but it was too expensive and too far from where we needed to be. I absolutely hate where we are now although it has enabled my husband to get a local job (he was an OTR truck driver for the last ten years). We are praying that we can buy something very soon. But, like you, I want to know it is where God wants us to be. We are looking into foreclosures but hubby and I can't agree on what we want. He would rather have a modular and acreage (with hopes of one day building) and I would rather just move into a house I love and only need at least 1/3 acre. I have wasted all day looking at homes online!! Good luck to you. Oh girl, I feel your pain!! I am in the exact same position!! We moved to Florida almost three years ago.

It's definitely time for you to find a new place to live. All that mold cannot be healthy for you and your family. Usually, when it keeps coming back, it's deeper than what you can see. It's probably into the drywall and even the lumbar the house was built with. Time to go. I’m sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. It’s definitely time for you to find a new place to live.
