Some Things...

Some things that are bothering me right now.



First of all, my in laws. They have lived in the first floor apartment of our 2 family house at a rent below market rates for more than 2 years now.



They've consistently paid the rent late, slammed doors at all hours of the night and left the front doors unlocked many times. And these are only some examples of how terrible they have been as tenants.



When they moved in they said they would "help out" and I expected them to help out with minor maintenance around the house like yard work, snow removal and the like but not once have they helped. But they have helped themselves to the use of our gas grill (only buying a tank of gas once - while we've bought 4). They actually offered to split the cost of the new grill I bought last summer but I never saw a dime from them.



We even put the house up and gave some cash for bail when my brother in law (their loser son) was picked up on a drug charge. Not that the asshole ever said thanks or even gave us any money back (none of the relatives that chipped in saw a dime or got a thank you).



We have been honest with them since we decided to sell the house and told them before we even contacted the realtor. But they reacted angrily and yelled and screamed that we were throwing them out. This is despite the fact that they knew we would have at least 60 days once we had a buyer.



Now, we suspect they are moving (to a shitty apartment next door for about $300 more a month) but have yet to even give us notice that they are moving out. We suspect they are moving the first of August since they are painting the rooms and moving things over there.



All I'm saying is that it would have been nice for them to give us some courtesy and let us know in spite everything else that has gone on.



My wife is really pissed and if they do this without notice, it'll be a long time before they see me or our son. I'll never speak to them again for sure.
