I can't believe it

My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was for a microwave she bought me and her air mattress. When she got the microwave, it was a gift. Then when my son was in the hospital from October to January out of town, I was going to get my internet service turned off until I returned home. My cousin was doing school work online, so I paid for it while I was away so she could use it. I'm trying to figure out a response to her. ?

If she left her stuff in my house, those items are mine NOW... lol...Sorry I will just keep everything!

I would just text her and say" you have till Friday to come get your stuff, if not it will be on the kerb with a sign saying free. I'm not your personal storage unit".

You've dealt with this too long, isn't possession nine tenths of the law? Meaning technically that sh*! Is yours to do whatever you please with.

Tell her ur going to start charge her storage fee if thats how she wants to be if she's concerned about every penny then maybe u should be to . I hate pp that are so willing to take stuff for free but never have anything to offer . I mean giving u a cheap air Mattress is the lease thing of a nice gesture she could of done

Yeaaaaa, tell her to come and pick her sh*t up and poke a hole in the airbed with a pin too. Just because.

I'd tell her to stop being a ungrateful b**** you let her live with you rent free and paid all the bills ! Tell her to ram her mattress up her arse and get her s*** before it ends up outside in the street !

I don't even think she deserves a phone call or all of your energy. She knows what you've done for her and that you are probably upset. She is just being rude and acting entitled. I would text her that she needs to either have her stuff out or provide you the cost of storage by a date you decide on, or it will be donated and thrown away. Since she wants to play hardball.

I text her since she won't answer letting her know she has two days to come get her s*** or its going outside including the microwave

She still haven't called me back. I think she knows how I feel because I only call people when I have a lot to say. I'm going to try again tomorrow. She was expecting disability and told me she would start paying me something when it came. She got denied. We never came up with a formal rent agreement, but she definitely wasn't supposed to be here that long.

What nerve she has

I was thinking the same thing Carrimel and came in to also suggest working out how much rent she would owe lol

You have laid out how to present it all so much better!

Нравится Ответить

I rarely do this, but I had to come back to this post. She has some damn nerve.

I'd research rent in your area X months lived + internet X months used + utilities (split down the middle) X months used + storage facility fee X months used = Total Bill.

Download a beautiful invoice off of Microsoft and fill it all in with a due date and "FIRST NOTICE" at the top. Print it off and mail it to her Certified, Return Receipt (so you KNOW she received it).

And then wait for my check or her phone call, while I use her air mattress as my new sex-bed.

But that's just me.

So please tell us what you say. I'm invested now.

I wanna know if she comes back for her stuff. Deep inside I'm hoping you don't even wait for her and donate everything to goodwill ??

Нравится Ответить

The things may even be legally yours at this point and if that's the case, I might even go as far as to sell her stuff back to her ? oh you're interested in this air mattress? $70. Yeah, this t-shirt? $30. ???‍♀️

Did you guys establish a rent/utility fee before she moved in, or was she under the impression that she was able to stay there, for free, while she figured stuff out? I wouldn't put a dollar amount on her if the agreement was that she didn't have to pay anything. Or if pay was never even discussed. But I would reply with something like, "really? You're going to make ME pay YOU *twice* the original amount of money for an air mattress after I paid for you to live in my house, eat my food, and use my utilities? After I paid for the Internet for the sole reason of you getting your school work done? YOU'RE going to charge ME?" And then I would give her a time limit to get her things and that if she doesn't oblige, her things would either become my things, or they'd see their way to the garbage.

This made me angry for you. It's all already been said but just wow, never help her out again.

Нравится Ответить

I honestly would have gotten rid of her stuff by now. Especially since she's left it at your place for so long. Apparently she doesn't need it in any hurry. I'd give her a weeks notice to get her crap out. If she doesn't, sell it or donate it. Keep the text messages as proof that you gave her notice in case she tries to be sly about anything.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to call her instead of texting back and she didn't answer. I have way too much to say.

Нравится Ответить

Wow, I would tell her she has till the end of the week or her stuff will be in the garbage! And tell her that you don't owe her a penny since you spent so much money on her for internet, utilities, rent and storage! She should owe you money. Not the other way around ?

Judge judy. Now.

I'd be texting her back with a price of the storage fee. letting her know that until she paid it in full she will not be getting anything back. Giving her a time limit to pay it and then listing it for sale yourself.

Нравится Ответить

Look into your state laws because after a x amount of time, her things are considered abandoned and yours.

Нравится Ответить

Honestly, I don't know if I'd text anything back.... maybe a picture of all her shat by a dumpster but that's about it. Some people are so rude ??

Нравится Ответить

My response would be.

" oh I'm sorry I forgot I owed you $60, but is seems that you have forgotten the money you owe me. You owe me all the internet bills that I paid while I was out of town so you could study. You also owe me your share of utilities and rent. I would also like to remind you that your crap has been at my house for months, if you would like to collect your crap please pay my the money you owe minus the $60 I owe you. If you do not pay the money you owe I will keep your crap as collateral. From today you have 3 months to cough up the cash or I will sell your crap and be sending you the bill for the money you owe. Please have a lovely day, wish to see you and the money you owe me soon."

Be nice and set the boundaries. As long as you give her notice for sell her crap then she can't complain. Add a date you will start selling crap so there is no disputing it. Also add the dollar amount in total then the amount owed after the $60 deducted.

Give her a time table. If she doesn't pick up her stuff by the died line then have a garage sale and keep the money. Make sure to keep all text with it and that she has to come pick it up no one else.

I'd tell her she has until the next day to her her s*** . I wouldn't even give her a nice response. And be sure to tell her she won't be getting 60 anything from you she can come get her microwave too. You should also throw in there that y'all can get together and discuss the amount she owes you in rent ?

Нравится Ответить

That's crazy. Talk about ungrateful and selfish of her.

Estimate back rent, share of utilities AND the use of your house as her personal self-storage unit for how many months now?

Honestly, the best thing to do is just say "no thanks" and set a date for her to pick up her stuff and then end contact. She's burned this bridge the next time she needs help.

I'd just say nvm I'm not interested at that price.

Yeah I would say you'll pay the 60$ if she pays you like 2500$ for rent and utilities from when she was staying with you.

I'd tell her she can stop being selfish and you won't post her stuff as free curb side pick up on Craigslist

I'd tell her she can keep the air mattress, take the microwave and all her other stuff out of your apartment within the next week or it's going to goodwill. I'd also give her a rundown of how much it cost you out of pocket to have her there and tell her don't ever ask you for a damn thing again. What a selfish, ungrateful and greedy little brat she is!!

I wouldn't be nice. I would send a list of rverything she smooched of you and let her know she owes you WAY more than $60

Tell her yes, she can have the 60$ for the air mattress.....and you'll deduct it from the 2,000$ she owes you in rent.

Нравится Ответить

Tell her she's got a week to get her shat before it all goes to goodwill. That's almost a year ago. You're not a storage unit.
