An interesting Proposition

[GrumpyParticipant]

Apparently I am soon to receive an interesting proposition regarding my condo.
Allow me to set the “stage”.
My friends and family know I am gearing up to vacate this cess pit city as soon as I can get rid of my condo at a reasonable price.
So far the only “offer”to buy I received was 50k under market value. So it’s not selling in the near future. I can afford to wait it out.

Now the proposition forthcoming is to rent my place out.
I rented it out for a year once before in 2009. Not a good experience in any respect and actually cost me 20k + due to repairs.

Here’s the kicker…
My ex wife floated the idea to my daughter.
Are you done laughing yet?
I’m still laughing about the idea.
Her thinking is that while she rents my current condo. (rent including all utilities and fees), I move to where I want to be and rent there until I can buy a new home.
While she moves here without a job lined up, to be closer to our grandson.

Ya, let me hop right onto that toots.
Sure I’ll gladly pay to maintain 2 households at my age. 20 years after I divorced her, and raised my daughter alone.
It seems like she’s looking for the divorce settlement she wasn’t able to get then.
I mean really, who f~~~ing thinks like this?

This is a woman who has never held a full time job. Ever
She works part time at min wage, when she can get employment.
She has no other pension options other than CPP (SS to our American brothers). Hasn’t saved a dime, and can barely pay for he 1 br apartment in an even s~~~tier city than the one I live ffs.
Bed made in a slum, she can damn well lay in it.

No I am not even considering the proposition lol.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Man if i was in your shoes, I’d rather eat a massive $50k loss than let my ex move in my old place. What a joke. And the part time minimum wage job is pathetic…and typical. I bet her entire paycheck is less than what you can make in a single day. You don’t need her puny ass checks, and believe me she has no intention of paying them anyway.

I say give her an empty chair, MGTOW style. You can afford to hold off, and she has nothing to offer you anyway. She probably knows that, but is hoping she can pry her way back into your life somehow or take advantage of you. Don’t let her. Don’t even acknowledge her existence. Give her nothing.

BAHAHAHAHa, even when they aren’t giving you pussy, they’re still trying to get resources out of you.

She’s hit the wall and is basically using children and family values as the reason why you should do this. Bitch is in a rut and you’re her savior.

Man, women really need to learn business negotiation. Her deal to you is completely unilateral. She’s basically saying “.. Because I have a pussy… That’s why you should consider this proposal.”
PR “I let you f~~~ me so anything I ask for should be granted…”.

Ths audacity that these c~~~s have thinking they can make insane requests like this without having to get on their hands and knees to suck dick for the next hundred years.

Watch how she’ll try and shame you for saying no like it’s a personal attack on her lol.

The people you rented to must have been complete pigs if they caused over 20k in damages during a one year lease.
It’s def possible to find a clean and responsible tenant.

I’ve been in the roommate finding business for over 10 years and as long as you lay out the ground rules from the very start most people usually abide and even appreciate your transparency.
Especially since you aren’t in a rush to get a tenant you can take all the time you need go finding the perfect fit that protects your property.

There are online companies that even do back ground checks if you need that extra sense of security to make sure they aren’t closet meth heads.

I think you should give it a shot especially if you still live in the same city and can drop by the place to “fix” something at the drop of a dime. If you’re in another state I’d def hire someone trustworthy to do this for you. To vet the proper tenant etc.

But you can usually tell after the first three months if they’re complete pigs or if they’re respectful of your place. My point being, you can def find tenants who would treat your rental like they owned it themselves.

It’s better to try it than to have it sitting there making you nothing (especially when no one can predict when the market in your area is going to improve again).

Don’t deal with C~~~s!
Don’t help them
Don’t trust them
Don’t listen to them
Don’t believe a single word that escapes their lips!

She takes you for a total moron, Grumpy, if she thinks you’re going to rent her anything.
I wouldn’t rent her a lawnmower.
She’d try to f~~~ you the second she’s moved in. She would end up costing you more than 10 squatters.
I’d take the 50k loss in that case!

Don't let them Blame, Shame or Tame you!
Give 'em NOTHING, not even an answer!

Isn’t it funny that no matter how much time passes they always think they can regain their power from back in the days when she had you on a leash? Women are such children.

I realize that pride is one of the seven deadly sins, but damn. Have a little pride Judy. The narcissist level is high in that one Grumpy.

Tell her you’ll need a 10k security deposit and six months rent up front. Kidding, no is a much better answer.

Good Sweet Christ… she’s either painfully stupid or believes you’re painfully stupid.

As for the condo, I’d look into renting it out through an established property management company. They’ll vet their renters pretty thoroughly and will have no qualms about pulling regular inspections. You can also tell them you’re interested in “rent to own” tenants.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

THEIR Feeling/belief that they are “entitled” never ceases to amaze.

There is no way her proposition is being considered. Period
Based on my previous experience of renting my property out, and the abrupt lessons regarding the landlord and tenants act. I will not rent, nor pay a “management” company to rent on my behalf. Fortunately, I’m almost in a position that I can afford to let it sit empty until it sells. That for me, is the best option.
There is no way, I’m going to allow any other person to establish any form of “substantive relationship” with me OR my assets (except for my grandson- who gets everything when I die). Especially an ex of any type, who can quite easily use this type of “arrangement” to exactly that.

You know the market you’re in, we do not. You know the specifics of your situation, we do not.

Fortunately, I’m almost in a position that I can afford to let it sit empty until it sells. That for me, is the best option.

Again, you alone know all the specifics that apply to your situation. Letting it sit empty while you’re several states away poses problems. Is there a condo association? Will they keep an eye on it?

Yes to both, and a management company as well as relatives nearby that will keep an eye on it.

Then it’s all settled. Start packing!

And, no, I won’t help you with the sofa bed!
