Yup..it goes in cycles. The irony of the evicted tenant, because she didn't provide tenant insurance, is because the town had a 36 unit apt building burned down the night before our hearing. Tenants were irate and calling the adjudicator because the landlord's insurance didn't cover them...

Thanks Dazz I always joke that we never have a dull or boring moment while we are here. The only thing that was a true joy this summer was caring for 2 nursing mother cats and their babies..and the hours old orphan newborn kitten. They all left a few days ago..and we can hard wait until...

update We were granted an eviction dated for 30 August. She has also filed for compensation for moving costs, living in a house without water,pain and discomfort etc for a total of around $1000. We have had the hearing already, but not received the decision. The tenant left on the 30th. We...
