    How about the fact that the “tenant” literally stole prescription medicine from an old lady. Once you steal, you have no reason to be in the house. They didn’t want to press charges, hell they didn’t even want the cops to be involved, they just wanted her gone. Ever since then she’s been making their lives fucking miserable. I have no sympathy for this woman at all, all she does is takes and threatens. You know this bitch literally threatened to call the grandma’s pain management Dr and lie to him that shes giving away pain meds? She’s still doing meth in their fucking house. Fuck her, she’s a worthless sack of shit and a waste of space and fuck the cops too for threatening an old lady and taking the side of a pilled out psycho over the literal home owner. Also, yeah, adorable housing is good and all, but unfortunately there’s not really much we can do in the situation. I don’t live in that town and my boyfriend and his grandma are barely getting by as it is, the only reason they have the house is because it’s been in the family for a while. And honestly, once she’s gone, I could care less about what happens to her, she can go live under a fucking bridge or on the street for all I care. And I know what you’re probably gonna say “oh, she’s addicted, she has a disease” fuck that, she’s still responsible for fir her actions, I’m fucking bipolar, I have a fucking disease, and I never pulled half the shit that she did, and if I did that would 100% be on me. I can feel sympathy for someone with an addiction, but all that shit disappears the moment they hurt others, especially people I care about.

    I honestly don’t care if I’m a terrible person for feeling this way at this point, so if you’re thinking about trying to do some kind of guilt trip, it won’t work.

        Why should the law protect someone who didn’t even get a written lease agreement? If someone gets into an informal agreement without legal documentation and the homeowner decides that they want them gone, then the law should automatically side with the home owner and view the person staying there as simple a guest that overstayed their visit (or a potential trespasser). If you can’t get a contract, then you shouldn’t get the same legal protections as someone who did, the only actual right you should get in that situation is the right to leave the property with all your belongings, and the only time the law should be involved is if you need time to remove said belongings.

          It would be insane if landlord tenant law didn’t apply to all landlords and tenants. You would see millions of low end rentals offered as informal rentals to avoid being bound by the law and millions of the poorest would lose basic protections and rights in order to protect one grandmother from exercising bad judgement.

          If you don’t want the risk of being a landlord don’t be a landlord.

            She wasn’t even trying to be a landlord, she was just trying to be nice and all she got in return was her pain meds being stolen and a methed out parasite being stuck in their home because of some bullshit legal loophole

              Who cares if she was “trying to be a landlord” she is a landlord. Subjecting millions of the poorest to life without basic landlord tenant protections by making them optional in order to save a singular hypothetical grandma from a bad decision is pants on head stupid.

              If you want to help her without changing a singular law just fund whichever court handles evictions and petty crime sufficiently so that they can proceed at at a normal pace. If the case against grandma robber actually looks sufficient offer grandma robber a plea that looks reasonable based on the crime in question and have her slap a restraining order on the criminal. BAM.

              Not only is all of this fair it also encourages robbing bitch to take an immediate plea deal of GTFO right this second to avoid the above which is actually what would happen in 99% of cases.

              All of this without ruining the lives of countless people for a probably made up grandma
