I am happy
I have an awesome deck, on which to throw parties.
I have a terrific yard with shade trees.
I have a fireplace to keep me cozy on chilly nights.
I've painted the walls the color *I* like and ripped up the carpet in favor of laminate flooring.
I have a garage.
I can landscape the yard however I want.
I can't hear my neighbors.
There's no crime or hordes of college kids living next door.
I have my own full-size washer and dryer.
I can have whatever pets I want.
And in 15 years, I'll no longer have a house or rent payment
What's not to be happy about?

Not according to Patchy-poo. All her $$$ is tied up in paying for her overpriced mortgage. :shrug:
It's only lost market value if I want to sell my house. I have no intention of doing that.

You got that right, Vrai! I bought my house 9 years ago for $127,000 and my house's value have gone up into $350,000 if I want to sell it now! I wouldn't trade my house to rent in apartment, trailers, or paying someone's mortgage houses. I love my house and I love the idea of being able to do whatever I want! I got to paint the colors I wanted, decorated and designed each rooms differently, have a huge backyard (1.80 arces of land) to have parties. It is big enough to play football game. Owning your own home is better because you get to make decisions without needing landlord's permission.
When I lived in the apartment for one year. I hated it so much because I wasn't allow to put up my alert system (deaf signal system to alert me the phone is ringing, someone is at the door, etc.) Landlord told me that I could not put the alert system "doorbell" because he didn't want to deal with tenants complaining about wanting to have a doorbell because I have one even though the doorbell do not make any "chimes sound". It just flash the strobe lights I have set up in my house in each rooms, so I could be aware that someone is at the door. Also, I wasn't allow to put strobe smoke alarms in the apartment and many other special needs for deaf person to survive in thier home. Therefore, I hated living in the apartment because I couldn't paint, hang pictures on the walls without putting holes in the walls, use curtains (had to use thier ugly blinds), and neighbor's shouting matches every night when they had fights. I may be deaf, but I could feel the vibration bouncing off the walls.
Isn't that against the law?

What's against the law? Alert System made for deaf people to use in thier home to be notify that the phone is ringing, someone is at the door, smoke alarms going off if there is a fire in the house, etc.? Or do you mean it is against the law for landlord to denied thier deaf tenants not to use thier deaf alert system in thier homes?
The landlord denying you the installation of the alert systems you need. I would think that it would be a matter of safety.

Oh yeah, it is against the law for landlords to denied deaf tenants due to safety issues. I had been battling with my landlord for a year and I had had it. I decided to buy a house, so I do not have to deal with bad landlords again.
You'd think that would be definitely against the ADA laws.
But what the heck - let him keep his crummy doorbell because now you have a wonderful home of your own and can do anything you want to it
You are much better off. Good for you.

Yeah, it is against the ADA laws, but alot of people don't care about the laws and break them anyway. That's goes the same for employers who doesn't care either.
It wasn't the landlord's doorbell. It is my doorbell that came with the alert system package. The doorbell is on my front door frame.
