Needing to vent!!!

We bought our first house two months ago at a really great price (yay!). We have been waiting a really long time for this day and have been over the moon about it. Its nothing fancy but there is space for our family and a yard for the kids. There was a tenant living there already but her contract was up on June 30th. Tenant had a failed inspection of the house due to floor boards, so she would have had to leave anyways when her contract was up on the 30th of June. We had plans to move in as soon as she left so we can get out of our small apartment and its now the 3rd. She told us she had a place lined up and was waiting for the inspection of her new place awhile ago and now she is waiting till she had money for a deposit. My husband then called Metro to see if there was anything he could do to help the process go any faster and to make sure everything was lining up. They said they just now received their paper work from her. I'm sure its my hormones but I'm so frustrated about the whole thing. Our realtor said he is going to help my husband fill out a eviction notice if she doesn't leave by the 6th. I feel horrible that it has come down to this. If it does come to that she will lose her metro. She seems really nice and she has 4 kids her self. At the same time we have our two kids plus my stepson for the summer in a two bedroom apartment... money is already tight and now we had to pay rent and the mortgage for this month already. I'm going crazy with the small space, boxes everywhere and I'm freaking out over not being ready for the twins. I just want to get it over with! It should not be this hard.

* I'm not that great at writing when I'm worked up, so please be kind

LOL.

That is exceptionally frustrating. Sorry that I don't have any useful advice, but I hope she vacates soon so you can get settled in your new place. It is quite kind of you to even let her stay past contract as it set you back financially. Best of luck

I hope she is at least paying you rent. That might at least help you out with the mortgage a bit.

It's a tricky situation and I know I would feel bad if it came down to eviction. Heck when I was working in the leasing industry I felt bad when we had to evict a resident, and there was literally nothing personal involved for me there. But, at the end of the day, this is your home and you have every right to be moving into it. She knew when she was going to have to be ready to be out of there and she failed to be prepared. In no way is that your responsibility or your problem. Try your best to simply think of it as a business transaction and set aside the natural compassion that you feel for her and her situation.

We had the same thing. Not sure of your location so things could be different, but the ones in our house were charged for everyday they were still in our house. And that was done by our realtor. It's not a free ride they knew the closing date. It's not your fault they didn't prepare better. I hope for your sake they get out asap!

We bought our first house when I was pregnant with my DS. We then sold up and moved to a bigger place when I was pregnant with DD two years later. Moving + pregnant women = hard times! I completely empathise with you. Even the most straight forward of moves can be stressful as hell. Try and let your other half take over it for now. Hopefully it won't be long :-( I HATE boxes too, they made me feel so dirty. Think how lovely it will be when you're in and unpacking it all and you can set everything up how you like :-)
