| Make sure to read up on on local squatter rules. If they start receiving mail at this address with their name you may struggle to evict |

| Stop engaging with all of them. Do not answer phone calls or texts. Just let them fade into oblivion. |

Everyone does this. For thank you notes if nothing else. |

| I'd say no. If any of their relatives (or yours) call or reach out about this I'd say "we are adults and have handled this directly with Margo and Phil. DH and I aren't discussing this with the family at large." And then any time any relative asks either of you say something about sports. EVERY time. |

+2. Absolutely this. Your house, your rules, your choice in who you spend time with - especially in your house. Just no. It would be different if they were kind, trustworthy and close - but they are not, so they are a non-issue. Save any space for your real and close friends. |

Exactly. I was the one writing Thank You notes. No gifts from them. |

I would say it’s so popular we have full reservations for the next 12 months. |

| You have cameras on the property that you can monitor remotely right? |

| Hell no. I'd stop engaging at this point. No good can come from it. |
