I'm never renting again. Ever. Unless it's a dire circumstance, and I know the person VERY well.
The situation with my tenant has been less than easy. He hasn't paid in full once, though I have gotten all he owes me. Except for this month, of course, he still owes me $188. And utilities, which will probably be between $120 and $200. Not to mention I'm going to need next months rent come the first. So in total, by Oct. 1, he will owe me about $683. How awesome is that? *sarcasm*
That's not even the worse part, though. The first month he lived here (he's only been here three, including this month) his cousin was here, living on my couch for "just a few days"... which really meant two and a half weeks (at which point I said I would kick them both out if he didn't leave).
Month two actually wasn't that bad, but now month three comes and it's all blown to fuck again. Other than the fact that he owes me money (and is apparently broke, as I've been told he's been asking around for money) his mom is here. I didn't think it would be that bad (I mean, come on, it's just a mom, right?) until I met the woman. I'm going to put the disclaimer here that I am Christian, and am quite spiritual. Having said that, the woman is psychotic. She says she has dreams "sent by God" that show the future. She also says that God has given her the ability to heal, and that she can take on all stress, pains, and even memories by simply touching a person. This allows her to "really know people, even better than they sometimes know themselves." With this wondrous gift she has deducted that I am controlling, physically abusive, and that I abuse drugs (all of this she told Madison, not me). To me she said I was kind, caring, and would live a prosperous life. I'm also apparently going to have two daughters and a son. Also, it's okay if she does anything (theft, murder, rape, threats, and pretty much anything else she wants) because she is covered in the blood of Christ, and therefore safe from sin. She uses this to her best, too, as she has told people "if you ever hurt my son, you know where you'll be found. In a graveyard." I'm sorry, but I thought as Christians we were suppose to live Christ like lives, and show his glory. I didn't realize that in reality we were supposed to do whatever the fuck we wanted because it doesn't matter anymore. It kind of makes me nervous that this psycho who thinks that it's not wrong to physically harm, or kill (since sin can't touch her, right?) living in my fucking house, especially since I'm about to kick her son out for not paying.
I could go on, but I'm starting to depress myself. How much does this situation rock?! Fucking ugh...

wow. that's some crazy shit. Did you have any kind of lease or contract written up?

that is not a good situation. Could be worse though, a friend of mine had a house he was renting out, the tenants eventually stopped paying at all and after a few months of squatting left the house completely trashed. Took him ages to clean up and not sure if he got any money back.
