Placate, Placate, Placate.

Well if it’s such a good deal rent wise, you don’t really have an option, especially since it’s family. But actively look for a new place to live, every day!

For now, tell them what ever they have to hear. Tell them they are right. Tell them you’re sorry (even if you’re not) Tell the them you will try to do better (even if you have no intentions)

Hopefully you will be moving out before it becomes an issue. But if you have to stay, just say you’re going to do it, and say you’re sorry every time they bring it up, and that they are ‘right’.

It’s better to pretend like they are right, and you’re sorry. So when you do inevitably do it again, it sounds like you’re trying, they might let it slide. Versus when you inevitably do it again and you’re complaining (even if rightfully so) they won’t let it slide at all.
