A very clear legal rental agreement is the most important thing to do at the beginning. It's beneficial for both the parties- the homeowners as well as the tenants. Sometimes people are good friends or acquaintances and don't value such thing. They take up things very casually and in a friendly way. This might create a lot of issues later. So, no matter what your previous relation with the other party might be, going ahead with a legal sorted way is the most professional thing to do. Both parties should be involved in drafting out the rental agreement and make sure that no points are missed out that might create issues later.Thid kind of legal agreement makes sure that the owners have the legal obligations and in case they fail to deliver, they can face a legal dispute. And it's beneficial for the property owner too..any abuse to the property by the tenants can be penalized and even taken into legal dispute.
Other than a detailed rental agreement, some research before taking the place for rent would also be good..this makes sure that you don't end with a bad place to live. Also, try to know about the owners and their reputations around and with previous tenants.

you have mentioned very vital points that anyone going through any form of bullying should adopt a lot of times we condole bad attitude from people not knowing that we are killing ourselves because before you know it you might become depressed from what you would have handled better right from the onset

when one is bullied it is not time to be silent unless you can totally ignore and don't get disturbed in the process it is always very good if the person bullying you isn't in the same department or office with you maybe it would just be a supervisor working in same company that you don't have direct contact with the person but if it is otherwise like you rightly stated. it is good to documents all this actions and then present them to a superior person that can help intervene it is always good to work in a healthy environment to boost one personal growth.

Bullying from a homeowner can be a difficult situation to handle, but it is important to remember that you have rights as a tenant. If you are being bullied by a homeowner, the first step is to document the behavior. This can include keeping a record of any threatening or harassing behavior, as well as any damage to your property. If the behavior is severe or threatens your safety, you should contact the police.

It may also be helpful to speak with an attorney or a local housing agency to learn about your rights and options for dealing with the situation. In some cases, it may be possible to file a complaint or seek legal action against the homeowner if their behavior is deemed illegal. It is important to remember that you do not have to tolerate bullying or harassment, and that there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
