I haven't been writing a heckuva a lot lately, and there's a reason for it.
Unfortunately, it's not something that I want to write on an open blog for the world to see - an issue I have been dealing with since I got divorced. Nothing illegal, nothing to do with tenants, kids, dogs, whatever. Purely a personal issue. The only thing I can say is it is an unbelievable battle that I'm not even sure how I got into in the first place.
It's been consuming my thoughts.
THEN, you compound it with tenant issues and other things going on and the whole scene is right out of a horror flick. The newest tenant is closing on her home Friday - that's a good thing. I pretty much hit it off with this lady - she has a lot of work to do around her house that she asked if I would come over and do - for pay of course. Hey, it's mostly stuff that I have experience in doing, and a few extra bucks isn't going to hurt me anything right now.
There is now allegations that this newest tenant has made about Mary that have me quite unsettled. Enough that this person said I could keep the security deposit she gave me to get Mary out of my house. The problem is, I have no proof. She alleges that Mary is both smoking and selling meth in and out of my house. That Mary actually offered her a pipe and that THAT is the reason Mary can stay up all night long and still go to work all day long the next day.
I'm VERY intolerant of drug users, to the point that I wrote Mary an email yesterday while she was still at work saying that Karen - the now home-owner - has made these allegations - and yes, Karen agreed to let me use her name as the source - and what was Mary's response.
Mary wrote back and replied that she wanted to wait until she came home to talk about it. I had some instant thoughts, having been down this road with her before: she'll either not come home at all and wait until after I have gone to bed, or, she'll come home with someone and then leave with that same person. The latter turned out to be true, she didn't say a word to me except: Hi Ben.
When Mary dodges an issue, it's probably because that issue is TRUTH.
Regardless, I am at work and the 6:00 am hour has just hit - need to get working.
C'ya later.

Dude,
She has got to go.
Allegations of drug abuse are sufficient.
She has to go.
UGH!!!!

Oh, Ben! What a quandry. I do not know what to tell you other than the obvious. You've got to get her out.
Could you call the police with the suspicion that there is some illegal drug use going on in one of your rented rooms? Honestly, I don't know how that works.
Best of luck to you ~S~
Oh my goodness! I have no idea how to tell if someone is using meth. You'd think she'd have slipped by now, that you would have seen increased traffic or something. You never know about anyone, I suppose.
Good luck!
I can't believe you still put up with her.....
Get her out of your house, NOW!
Yer Ex is gonna love this!!
Thanks for the comments, everyone.
More news in the next post I am writing as of posting this comment.
