Renters what a pain

My property manager left me a message to call her yesterday. By the time I listened to it it was too late to call her back. I didn't sleep well wondering what she wanted. I knew it wouldn't be good news and it wasn't. The renters, She has hired an attorney to sue for breach of contract. She canceled. I spent all morning stressing and getting nothing else done. I typed up a letter regarding our conversations for our attorney. Nice having a good lawyer in the family. I passed the letter on to Tom. He said he would deal with it.

I get the feeling the wife didn't tell her husband about her phone calls with me, otherwise he would have realized she screwed up, and there isn't anything to sue over, since she canceled and I accepted, OOps. I am not very sympathetic, with the move literally on right now. More threats just makes me feel like we made a good escape from that family. Tom and I are in agreement that they are the last people we want to deal with as renters, or at least the wife. I only met or spoke to the husband once. On the other hand Tom is looking for a good legal battle. He has been wanting his day in court over so many things that have gone wrong in our lives that we have just had to swallow because they weren't worth fighting over. He would love to play lawyer. He likes to argue and is good at it.

If law school didn't cost so much he probably would have made a great lawyer. He likes to read anything and everything. That is what law is, knowing the law having read the precedents.

We have just taken our lumps in the past. We will come back fighting this time. We got our dream house. It can't be all bad.

This week will pass. I am earning my keep the hard way, through stress. IRS also wants another chunk out of us. I had to put an adjusted return together for some stock basis that were missing two years ago. I love how they wait two years and then notify you and charge interest and penalties when you didn't even know there was a problem. Just pile it on. I might as well get it all over with at once.

So ex renters are trying to sue. Maybe they really love our house as it is and want it still. But this isnt the way to get what they want. IRS says they want more of our money also. The movers are coming Friday. My mom went around the house choking back words as she realized how much I still have to do.

Positive Vibes Baby, Positive Vibes.

Lets Party Saturday. I am going to need a little comfort and love. Bring me a good bottle of Red. I might even be able to afford the hang over on Sunday, as my day of rest. Monday the phone company comes, and Tuesday the TV gets hooked up. Tom will be thrilled.

Wednesday, I will start cleaning the rental. What do you think, two days to get it cleaned? I will sleep in a sleeping bag and get it done fast.
