I really can't complain too much about the apartment stay, she kept it clean, she paid her whole rent eventually it was broken up a lot of the time and sometimes supplemented with her cooking our family dinner once a week to reduce her rent amount to help her out...she had a guy end up coming to stay with her though...it was one of our childhood friends from school...he was struggling cause he abused his wife and she kicked him out and even though he was an awful person she couldn't let him sleep in his car...so she had him staying on her couch...suddenly we get a frantic call one day...this guy had attempted suicide in the bathroom and the paramedics were on their way and she couldn't handle it she needed me to come up there and talk with him to keep him alert till help arrived...he had slit his wrists pretty deep and drank antifreeze mixed in his code red mountain dew... paramedics said if he would of been found only minutes later than he was...he would have succeeded...the renter was traumatized so bad that PTSD took its tole and she could no longer use the rest room without having flash backs of him...in there...which by the way since she was so traumatized she couldn't clean up the mess in the bathroom...my husband had to do it....which was gross...but she was my best friend I couldn't do it I was pregnant I think at the time...my husband didnt want me to clean it anyway...so ya...after the PTSD took its toll she was moved to the rental house so she could still rent from us only not in that apartment with all the haunted memories...
When she first moved in she wanted to paint and put up boarder and all sorts of stuff...which was fine...we allowed her to do that...she was going to be staying there a long while...so may as well have it the way she wants it right?
Then I introduced her to a guy friend I had met online a long time before then...and they hit it off pretty good...but to my unknown he had her buy another car...had two or three dogs in the house without paying a pet deposit...and then the new car stopped working (think a non payment lock down feature on the car was in place) then they took off for out of state without letting us know...they were late on rent like 3 months late...excuse after excuse...and tear sob story after story...she was my best friend what could I do? just let her walk on me yep...she would eventually pay me back for the damage and for the back rent...which I appreciated and so did my husband...it took a while but she did it....guy ended up abusing her after knockin her up...and he took off...which she deserved better...I felt responsible for her outcome and she asked to move back into the apartment and made payments to pay us back for the house...then her child grew bigger and she couldn't stand the apartment any longer she was paid up in full...no problem...thanks for being a good renter even though it took time to get where we were in good standings with the book keeping...
Then she had a title loan she needed to pay off or she would lose her car...I as a good friend I am helped pay that off...with her taxes she paid us back...soon after that I lost our daughter, then my mother, and she gave me an ultimatum I felt was a little high of expectation...that I get over my losses or she couldn't be my friend no more so I said fine its not even been a year since I lost my mother...who needs friends like you anyway...and haven't talked to her since...
I want to...but know she don't so I wont bother her...I keep going through boxes after our move and finding things she has given me and I want so badly to box them all up and send them to her to show her I did care about our friendship...I kept everything she gave me over the years...but I know I wont...cause I know she is done with me...and probably over me...dont even think about me...I don't care...I am just living my life...and trying to do my best...and yes this is why we dont rent to our friends...
onto the next one...sorry kind of got a little personal on that one...but it is personal when renting to your friends...
