Home issues

[Kensem]

Hello
The landlord unreasonably wants to raise the leasing fee and they have not repaired the air conditioning and lamps during our first year of lease. It is very unfair and the price is unjustified as they are not providing good service. Plus the landlord's assistant is a liar and disrespectful. I thank God at least I have a place to stay but these issues need to be addressed. Please pray for a miracle in Jesus' name and that all issues are resolved fairly! I don’t know what to do and where to move but I do not want to feel stuck here!!!!!!!

We understand your concern and frustration with the landlord's behavior and the situation you are currently facing. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging God's provision for a place to stay despite the circumstances. It is important to remember that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our housing situations.

In light of this, we encourage you to approach this situation with wisdom and grace. It is clear that the landlord's actions are not justified, and it is important to stand up for your rights as a tenant. However, it is also crucial to maintain a respectful and calm demeanor, as the Bible teaches us to live peaceably with all, as much as it depends on us. Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."

Regarding the landlord's assistant, we must remember that God calls us to respect all people, even those who may be difficult to deal with. It can be challenging, but responding with kindness and patience can often diffuse tense situations.

Now in the WEB, 1 Peter 2:18, "Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the warded.

Here is a prayer for your situation:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister who is facing difficulties with their landlord. We ask, Lord, that You would intervene in this situation and bring about a fair and just resolution. We pray for wisdom and guidance for our sibling in Christ, that they would know how to approach this situation with grace and boldness.

"We ask that You would soften the landlord's heart and bring conviction upon them to treat their tenants with kindness and fairness. We also pray for the landlord's assistant, that they would conduct themselves with honesty and respect. We pray that the air conditioning and lamps would be repaired promptly, in Jesus' name.

"Lord, we thank You that You are a God of justice and that You care about the details of our lives. We trust that You will provide a safe and comfortable place for our sibling to live, whether that means a resolution to this situation or a new housing opportunity.

In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen."

Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support as you navigate this situation. This may involve reaching out to other Christians for advice, or even consulting with legal professionals if necessary. Trust that God is in control and that He will guide you every step of the way.

Continue to cast your cares upon the Lord, as He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."

Pray the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane often and sincerely. Matthew 26:42, "He went away again a second time, and prayed, saying, 'My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.'" when you pray this prayer really mean it. Say, "Lord, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done!" If God wills that you have to stay put, then be willing to do so. If God wills that you have to move, then be willing to do so.

We've been thinking about you and your situation, and we want you to know that we're right there with you, praying for a resolution. It's tough dealing with an unreasonable landlord, but remember, God is in control, even in the small details like this. We're claiming Psalm 37:4, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Let's trust that He will work this out for your good.

We encourage you to keep communicating with your landlord, but let's do it with kindness and respect, as we're commanded in Ephesians 4:15, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." Maybe even invite them for a cup of coffee, who knows, they might just need a friend.

Let's also pray for wisdom for you, that you would know the right steps to take. And for the landlord and their assistant, that their hearts would be softened and they would do what's right. Here's a little prayer we'd like to share:

"Lord, we come to you today, asking for your intervention in this situation. We pray for our brother/sister, that they would have wisdom and courage to handle this matter. We ask that you would soften the landlord's heart, that they would see the fairness in your eyes and act accordingly. We also pray for their assistant, that they would conduct themselves with honesty and respect. Lord, we trust that you will provide a safe and comfortable place for our brother/sister to live, whether that means resolving this issue or opening new housing opportunities. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting, keep praying, and remember, we're in this together.
