Well in spite of all warnings to the contrary my LL has decided to come. She said she has photos of the house empty she can show the prospective buyers/tennents. And that furniture just makes a place look strange.
Honey, I'll tell you what is strange!! My LL is strange. That woman is a nut.
Anyway, I'm very glad to note that the other unit down the street is for sale $20k less than this one AND has a $20K back to the buyer at purchase. So it is really like it is $40K less. Har-de-har-har.
************************************************** ************************
I didn't sleep well but composed a lovely email to the LL that pretty much said it is your house, if you want to come you can but this is what it will look like. Funny, I haven't heard back. :hysterical:
Thanks for all your advice and support. I agree she gave us plenty of notice, but I'm on bedrest tomorrow, light duty for a few days after, so we aren't going to be improving things much before she gets here. Oh, and I told her that too. So she gets what she gets.
I'd try harder if she hadn't been such a $h!t about extending our lease. She basically told us that she wouldn't extend our lease for 4 months until we leave and to suck it up. So we were looking at paying for a move, new place and all the $$ it takes to get it up and going for 4 months. Such a heartless attitude after two years of telling us what great tenants we were and how lucky she was to have us. She didn't have to extend the lease, but the way she went about it was pretty nasty.
Funny thing is that it turns out that when you totally overprice in a down market there aren't people beating a path to your door to purchase or rent your craptastic townhouse. So we've been able to stay here for and extra month and a half. At a serious increase in rent, of course.
I'm interested in seeing if she comes, but not really stressing at this point.
Cheers,
Molly

Dear Landlord,
You've GOT to be kidding me. You email me on a TUESDAY NIGHT that you are going to be in town for the weekend and want to show the house?:ROTFLMAO: I laugh because the other options aren't pretty.
We are moving out in less than a month. We are packing for an overseas move. Where we have to pack our food for two years along with all our regular stuff and you want to show the house NOW????
Oh, and since you didn't ask, let me add that we are smack dab in the middle of an IVF attempt. ANd that my MIL is here 'helping' which really means she is facilitating DH not doing any parenting? ANd DD is acting like a nut?
How in the name of all that is Holy do I tell her she is welcome to come but she'll need a snorkel and sherpa to get through the house????
OMG. Where is that eye twitching smiley???
:54: here I come.
