We had a renter for a year. Last October 1, a single mom moved in with her 2 year old son and chihauhawa. Chatty said she liked an apple head chiwaha. however you spell that stupid name. She had been in a dv relationship and needed to get out fast so we rented her our lower level. Housemate has done well under our roof for the year, and is ready to spread her wings. She is moving on this weekend, with her now 3 year old, all safe and sound. Also, we sold my car, to get by on one car, since I am in the disability process and don't go anywhere anyway. As for the bank, we have written multiple letters, tried multiple approaches, and the response is "the investors don't have the flexibility to work with the homeowners." So yes I am looking for new renter. But I am getting nervous eye tick and stomach aches.
