The only thing I worry about in this situation are the kids who will possibly end up homeless because of this.
You and me both.

How are you just going to tell somebody that you're NOT moving out of something you don't own? No sob stories. No laundry list of excuses why it can't happen right now. Not even "please just give me a little more time"
Just flat out "nah bruh, I'm good where I'm at".
When did people get so bleep-ing stupid and entitled?
30-40% is not a majority.
Well, our lawyer gave the notice to the process server to deliver. So they'll be notified today or in the next day or so and then have time to leave and/or contest it in court. We'll see about the end of next month where things stand.
Some valuable lessons learned. One thing I thought about in this scenario is it is very easy to sit back and say everything in the world is negative and people suck and why does no one do good deeds or why aren't more done, etc, etc. But then you find yourself in the middle of a situation where you legitimately made a great effort to help a family (and family member) with an agreed upon understanding, and then you get down the road and they give you a big middle finger and legitimately say we don't care about our agreement, don't care about your future plans for the house you graciously let us live in, and all that jazz. Heck, I learned during this process if I had let them stay 7 years (and they weren't even close to that), that yes, squatter's rights could have potentially prevented my family from having our own home. So you know what? I understand why some people say screw it.
As a dad of 16 month old twin boys, I don't want them to lose that sense of innocence in the world and willingness to help out those in need. But obviously even I've learned that sometimes the only help you can give is tough love, or else you jeopardize your own well-being and that of your family. It's a shame, but I get it.
That is their parent's fault.I'd like to say it was even just that. It involved many more 4 letter words said to my wife, from her own sister. The said thing is I don't see how they don't end up estranged. And while my wife is OK with that as a sister, I'm sure it will be hard for her and her nieces/nephews. But she insisted we had to do it, and she is right.
Im even more stunned. Seems that being a small business landlord is a very risky business. Especially if your doing a mortgage on it.
I remember my grandparents were owners of several houses back in 80s to early 90s. Those were different times then
Do you know the condition of the house? pictures? Evidence that everything is mostly fine or normal 'wear and tear"
I'd fully expect them to trash the place and say you can't prove it was them. I hope you have stuff documented.
Honestly, what did they expect? lol.
Honestly? Probably that we were bluffing and they would just let them stay there for who knows how long.
