Writing to warn others. Tried my best to resolve conflicts during my stay at Khadija’s apartment: verbal abuse, broken agreements, racist remarks, controlling behaviour.
Situation: Khadija’s family has free reign of the apartment without needing to inform anyone when they are coming and going. She refused to notify me when they were going to be there, so I also didn’t provide information on my whereabouts.
When I didn’t tell them I was gone, Khadija’s parents yelled at me, calling me stupid, immature, not raised right, and that my “poor” behaviour was due to my race.
I left, but tried to reach an amicable solution. I returned on the condition that I be notified of when people are in and out. Right away, she did not tell me her brother was there, avoided communication, and got angry when I asked him how long he was staying. She said asking was hostile, and I shouldn’t be talking about what happened.
I left. She accused me of having bad intentions, and refused to refund.
