Landlord
As I said before about being naive and just wanting the whole marriage to be over and the divorce process to be done with, I’ve clearly made some poor decisions.
I rent our martial home from my ex husband. I gave up all interest in the property, so it is his. Rather than him having to sell it, I agreed to rent it from him for the three years he’d be in law school. This way the kids would be able to stay in their own home, own rooms, etc. This seemed like a fine idea had I been dealing with a sane and rational person. However, knowing what I do now, it was a bad idea. All the same, this is where we’re at now.
We’ve asked a number of times to be let out of the lease becasue we really would love our own space – but he’s refused. Currently, we are living pay check to pay check. Raising the kids without any help from their father. We pay rent, on time, every month. We take care of our bills, and my husband and I are both rebuilding our credit. We have formulated a long term plan that has us fufulling the lease terms, and has us saving money for our own home, working on better credit scores, etc. Then today we get this email:
“I am willing to entertain the idea of you waiving the remaining one year on the lease in exchange for 1780.00 and provided you can be completely moved out of the house within the month. I will need to have an answer within the next 2 days.”
he wants us to pay him 2 months of rent, and move out in the next 18 days? He’s crazy. Just plain nuts.
We know that from his converstaion with my older son that he’s looking to move back here and live in this house himself. We’ve learned, however, to respond with reason wont work. So, rather, he’ll get no response at all.
This makes me so tired.
Looking Forward
