[quote=Anonymous]We have a small 2 bedroom guest house on our property.  H and I took it on as a project and have fixed it up ourselves.  It was a lot of work but we saved so much money.  We learned so much.  Because of all the work we did this guest house its kind of like our baby.  We want to find the right tenant to live there so we are in no rush.  My cousin asked if she could rent it out.  It was not even a consideration.  She has an on/off husband who she keeps taking back even though he is physically and mentally abusive.  Right now she has a RO on him with DV charges pending.  She has pets (not allowed in guest house) and her kids are as bad as her pets about destroying stuff.  She also has horrible credit.  She is currently being garnished for an eviction she had last early last year.  With all her issues we don't want her or her kids around outside of family functions.  Her H is banned from my house and that will never change.

My SIL and her husband want to move back to the area and inquired about renting the guest house.  My H and I talked it over and agreed to rent out the guest house.  We are handling this like a business transaction and there will be a lease and everything.  I don't know how she found out but now my cousin is making an issue with other family members how I would not rent to her but I had no problem renting to another family member.  These 2 relatives are night and day from each other.  I don't even know how she can be making an issue of it.  When questioned about this said I did not want any of the drama that she brought with her.  That caused a huge drama in itself.  I am supposedly not being supportive of her.  Yes she is a victim of domestic violence but I no longer feel sorry for her.  I just don't.  She is allowing it to happen over and over again by taking him back.  In December he violated the RO and she did not report him to the police.

Then when I got tired of being asked about why I would not rent it to her I started telling people it was none of their damn business.  That caused even more drama.  I am so tired of this crap.    [/quote]
