This week has been a stressful one. Sorry to be a downer, kinda just need to vent.
Aside from feeling super uncomfy, major fatigue and other pregnancy related things - we have a rental unit and late Friday night I received an email for my tenant saying he has lost his income so he will be moving out starting the NEXT day.
Although he has a signed lease with another 5 months, we have decided to let him go.. we could take him to court for the remainder of his payments but if he's lost his income, I don't see the point, it'd just cause stress. We went to check on the unit last night to see how his moving is coming, and I am flabbergasted at the state of it, pure disrespect. We have had several tenants move out but this has got to be the worst. This tenant knows I am 8 months pregnant and now, in April/May rather then preparing for our new baby and relaxing, doing family things etc, my husband will have to work his 50 hours then come home to fix, renovate and clean the unit - meanwhile I will have to do as much cleaning as my back can take to help him and start advertising, showing and interviewing. Holy timing :hair:. We knew we'd be going through this in a few months but at least by then we'd be settled with the baby, I could help more AND we could plan ahead knowing it's coming. He literally gave us less then 12 hours notice that he was leaving. Also makes it hard when DH has a month booked off to be home after the baby so I can recover from my surgery. We had planned to renovate the kitchen in the unit after this tenant, but now financially we don't want to spend money on that before the baby comes, so it'll have to wait until after NEXT TENANT.
BLAH. Sorry for the long rant. This timing just couldn't be any worse and we have to tackle it right now, we can't put it off because we need the income, that's how we manage for me to stay at home and not have to work.
