Gratitude List On May 23 we gave our downstairs tenants notice to move out on or before June 30.

We have had a string of problems with them. They have been late on the rent for months. In fact they still owe us $400 in rent from December and February. Both grandsons (its a grandmother and her two grandsons) have moved in their girlfriends who are not on the lease. (This is not to mention the half dozen or so other family members who live there on and off). In fact one grandson moved in his girlfriend and her(or their, I am not sure) two toddler children. The other grandson is "one of us," I think. As the result the police come by frequently, mostly for domestic disturbances.

We told them if they moved out on or before June 30 we will not evict or report you to the housing authority and Section 8. Guess what? They are still here. When my husband ask them yesterday when they were moving, they said that they were not going to move. When Chuck said we were going to have to evict them and they would lose their Section 8 status, the answer was, we do not care.
