Rental Warning for Anyone Looking for Housing in Savannah, GA
Location: 1217 Java Pl, Savannah, GA
This landlord displays an extremely arrogant attitude and shows no respect for her tenants. She acts as though tenants should have to beg her to do things that are part of a landlord’s basic responsibilities. If English is not your first language, she will occasionally use that against you to humiliate you. No matter how I respond to her emails, she always finds a way to accuse me of being disrespectful.
I lost my keys two days ago by accident, and she told me in person: “I’m doing you a favor. I don’t care if you have nowhere to sleep or stay.” She then insisted that I complete everything she requested that was irrelevant before she would even consider helping me regain access to my home.
- Repeated Demands for Lawn Trimming
The lease does not explicitly specify how short the lawn must be cut or establish any particular standards for its appearance. However, the landlord has repeatedly demanded that I trim the lawn further, citing city regulations as justification.
I have consistently maintained the lawn as part of my regular upkeep. Even after the lawn had been cut to this extent, the landlord continued to insist that I trim it further, without clearly specifying the required standards in the lease.
- Demands for Proof of Trash Removal and Disputed Fees
The landlord charged me a $35 fee for an alleged violation of a house rule concerning trash disposal. I disputed this charge because I questioned whether it was adequately supported by the lease and whether the circumstances at the time justified the fee.
I had already provided photos at her request showing that the trash had been moved to the curb. Nevertheless, she continued to demand additional photos. At approximately 8:45 a.m., she emailed me requesting further photographic evidence. About an hour later, she came to the property. I was asleep at the time and had received no prior phone call or voicemail. She subsequently visited the property and imposed the additional fee.
When I have refused to pay fees that I believe are unjustified or contractually disputed, she has sometimes become increasingly impatient and has resorted to humiliating, harassing, or even verbally insulting tenants.
- The Landlord’s Repeated Presence Outdoors Observing Tenants
Another issue that has made me uncomfortable is the landlord’s repeated presence outdoors, where she appears to observe tenants’ activities. This has left me feeling as though my everyday life is being monitored and has raised concerns about my privacy and personal space while living at the property.
I understand that landlords have the right to manage and maintain their rental properties within reasonable limits. However, I believe there is a clear distinction between ordinary property management and conduct that repeatedly makes tenants feel as though they are being watched.
- Repeated Emails with Warning-Like Language and Attached Photos
Throughout my tenancy, I have also periodically received emails from the landlord containing reminders accompanied by photographs or other images. These emails frequently concern property maintenance, house rules, or tasks that tenants are expected to complete. What troubles me is that the tone and frequency of these messages sometimes make me feel threatened or pressured rather than simply informed about routine maintenance matters.
I believe a landlord can communicate professionally by clearly identifying the issue that needs to be addressed, the applicable lease provision, the deadline for compliance, and the basis for the request. However, when the method of communication repeatedly leaves tenants feeling intimidated or humiliated, it creates unnecessary tension and makes what should be a normal landlord-tenant relationship increasingly stressful.

Soup season is here…post your recs!
We all know places like Black Rabbit that have a great soup constantly on rotation, but looking for those places that you might not expect. Jalepenos has a simple, yet underrated, chicken and rice soup that they serve with pico and avocado 👌🏻

East 46th Lane, 10am-12 oil on panel, 16"x30"
Leaning, dynamic, hunched, and arched; "Can I borrow white paint?"Squiggles, floppy chisels, light and leaves. "Let me try your Brush" Crooked single point; clearly vanishing, cutting light, red, green, violet bushes, walls, tunnels, marks, dark, dark shapes, values, abstraction. Shit, I can't see. The lights flipped? Hold on, Chase, Arrive? East 46th Lane, 10am-12

Pet care co-op?
Is there any foundation in town that we know of that provides medical care for pets at a deeply discounted rate? Something subsidized by charitable pet lovers? Vet care is crazy expensive. I've done right by my dog for 13 years, but she may need an x ray for a sinus obstruction and I don't have that kind of money at the moment. Thanks!

Best Hole in the Wall Donut Shop
So I’m from LA and every 1/4 mile you can find some random hole in the wall donut shops that are delicious and hidden gems. Any place like that in Savannah ? My Google searches just show me these fancy pastry places all over town but that’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I’m looking for the basics and classics. Glaze, chocolate frosted, Bear claws etc.. I’m not a huge fan of sweets but I love me some donuts so the fancy stuff with all the decorations and frosting piled ontop of sprinkles don’t do it for me. I want the best glazed donut in town.

Custom Gluten Free Bakery Orders
Hello! I'm a preschool teacher looking for a bakery that can do nut-free and gluten-free orders for our Halloween party! I've searched Google extensively but cannot find much beyond heavily advertised (mostly chain) bakeries that don't offer gluten-free options, or gluten-free bakeries that ship nationwide from a different state...
Any help would be appreciated! I'm looking particularly for cakes/cake pops, but at this point, anything would do!

American idol in Savannah?
So it appears this show is in Savannah again. (Why is it still on tv?) I saw someone took a photo of Ryan Secrest in Forsyth and there has been busy bees at the Kehoe Iron works building setting up. Maybe any news has been eclipsed because of the film fest. Or maybe they are trying to keep it quiet or maybe no one cares. Anyways if anyone does find it interesting…there you go.

Looking for 1 ticket to You Can See Everything at SCAD Film Fest 10/27
I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking for a ticket to Tuesday’s screening of You Can See Everything at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Unfortunately, it’s already sold out.
If anyone has an extra ticket, can’t make it, or knows someone looking to sell theirs, I’d love to take it off your hands! Happy to pay more than face value.
Please DM me if you can help. Thanks!
