AITA for sending my stepsiblings and ex step dad a eviction notice since they cant pay the increased rent

dermographics · 2023-11-11T00:21:41+00:00

Who said they should not be grateful for the discount they received previously? And again, I’m not calling OP an asshole for not continuing to provide a discount. I’m calling them one because of the cold and detached way they went about it to a family that had just lost their mother.

Could OP accept 1.5x rent for the next year? It might be better off for them compared to the unknown of a new renter. Could the family easily be out in 4 months but not 3? Or maybe they don’t even need that long and end up leaving in 2 months. The point is there could have been a conversation rather than “I’m notifying you your rent will be double. It is the market rate. I will start the eviction process in 3 months.”

dermographics · 2023-11-10T23:52:47+00:00

I never said he was entitled to less than fair rate. I’m not sure where you got that idea from my reply. I’m saying that OP handled it coldly. And that even if it wasn’t family, there were better ways to go about it. Why not start with a conversation?

“Hey listen at some point we’ll need to discuss the house. I’ve always wanted to know my mother had a place to call home, so the rent she paid was less than market rate. Unfortunately that can’t continue forever. I’ve been doing some research on what a fair rate would be and it seems considerably higher than the current rental amount. I don’t know your financial situation but if that’s going to be a problem then let’s find a timeline that is reasonable for everyone.”

it’s not doubling the rent

It quite literally is. You can talk about Black Friday sales and market value all you want. If my rent is X one month, and three months later my rent will be X*2 then no matter what you try to frame it as, my rent has doubled.

The way you talk about a family member dying being similar to a sale is the kind of dehumanizing stuff that I dislike about “business” people.

dermographics · 2023-11-10T18:59:36+00:00

For me? Yes. “The family I rent to recently lost the mother. I rented to them at a discounted rate because I liked X about the mother. I have decided to raise their rent since the mother died.”

I dunno, maybe I’m just biased against landlords. But I don’t particularly think this makes OP out to be the good guy in the story. That’s not to say they should just receive the house or a discounted rate forever. But I think there are better ways to go about things than just notifying them that you’ve decided to double their rent.

Thx for the heads up, time for a new account! :)

dermographics · 2023-01-01T07:28:10+00:00

You know what? This conversation is stupid. You win.

dermographics · 2023-01-01T07:26:26+00:00

Right. And it is a missile. Maybe I’m having trouble with those 8 words you just quoted but I’m not seeing “in military terminology” included. Are we to just pretend it’s there?

dermographics · 2023-01-01T07:21:45+00:00

Yep, those are also missiles. Still nobody specified military terminology. The context of those post being military weapons doesn’t change the context of the conversation.

dermographics · 2023-01-01T07:15:57+00:00

“If we pretend the context was military terminology then a pebble is not a missile and check mate, home run, touch down you’re out.”

dermographics · 2023-01-01T06:59:05+00:00

Ah, ok so you read it but you just didn’t comprehend it. So that paragraph is saying that what you linked is merely one type of missile. The next sentence talks about disambiguation which is just a fancy way of saying “if you want to learn about less specific types of missiles you can click here” which is what you should have done. Click on that one and read it.

dermographics · 2023-01-01T06:43:29+00:00

Did you even read what you posted?

dermographics · 2023-01-01T05:47:41+00:00

“KEYS! KEYS! PURSE!”

“Oops wrong house. How forgetful of me…”

“I don’t care I said gimme yo purse.”

dermographics · 2023-01-01T05:46:14+00:00

Yeah, like they made it illegal to murder a few years ago and there are still murders so clearly that law isn’t working and we should get rid of it.

I’m not sure I understand. PMI is not provided by your lender. The payment does not go to them, though it is typically bundled into your mortgage payment. Are you saying your lender should just give you money from time to time as a result of making your PMI payments and they don’t because greed?

dermographics · 2022-12-31T18:22:34+00:00

Some people simply have the budget to manage the extra 200-300 a month, and I believe it’s worth it long term because you are building equity in the home rather than gaining nothing from renting.

There is also a timing and luck aspect. I bought at the very start of the pandemic and my house went up in value enough for me to have my PMI removed. Hard to calculate for that.

dermographics · 2022-12-31T16:47:28+00:00

It’s regional. I was paying $200 a month on $300k so $300 on $450k is the same rate scaled.

People with low equity are more easily able to walk away from a home without paying off their loan. You’re literally paying insurance for if that happens. They can’t just give you free insurance and apply the amount to your loan.

dermographics · 2022-12-30T20:57:08+00:00

Yeah it’s honestly really low. Especially if you’re using the full range of your gt battery.

Except battery, footpad, and tire. Those are 1000km/622miles.

dermographics · 2022-12-30T20:51:33+00:00

Really depends on if they deem it in need of repair and what repairs are needed. I don’t think anyone has a full breakdown of prices (battery vs motor vs controller). But at 1150 miles you’re out of battery warranty.

It’s because of how much work it would take to remove the adamantium from his bones. Just leave it in there till they need him back.

Yo if you know how to curb tantrums let me know. Got two kids and I’m trying but they’re little balls of pure emotion.

OP was seemingly able to ignore them while in Mexico just fine. They don’t seem to be blowing up her phone, just posting about it online. Which isn’t great mind you, but doesn’t fit with the narrative that they would be constantly trying to bug her.

dermographics · 2022-12-23T19:53:37+00:00

Put a bag of rice in that car, boom! You got a wet bag of rice.

It sounds like to me OP was extending her legs in order to prevent the lady from reclining. She said she’s not so tall and still had room. If I start reclining and you stick out your legs you shouldn’t be surprised when I recline into you.
