So I finally filed to get the squatter out of the Mother in Law section of my house! [View all]

I had hired a guy to do some work back in Oct that was needed from Hurricane Ian. (It was so hard to get anyone to work) He found out I had a mother in law section and asked to move in in exchange for the work and I thought it was a great idea. But he also moved a woman in with him.

After a couple weeks I could not stand the guy and told him to leave. He did but the woman stayed. And I told her she could stay because I found out that she was homeless and I thought it wouldn't hurt anything.

But let me tell you something about this woman. First she has never, once ever said, "Thank you" for anything. And she is a bitch of the first order. She has been here since Oct and I at first tried to help her with a bunch of things. I have since found out she is a prostitute and has had men come into my house to service them AND found them coming out of my shower.

A couple days ago I heard the shower running in the morning again. I also have an issue with my shower from someone that I rented to who was taking 2 showers a day, each 1/2 hour and I ended up having to have my septic tanks pumped out 3 times in the year she was here!

So I opened the door, (which I did very infrequently because she would scream at me) and it was her this time in the shower. I think I was so fucking mad by this time that I wanted her to lose it but in the end I lost it and there was an altercation with me getting kind of out of control with her.

So that was it. I finally got the initial papers. It cost me about $350 and it may cost more. I am still confused about the process. (They had me address an envelop that will come to my house, (she does not get mail here) and I have to give it to her. I am not quite sure how it works after that and I am so damn tired of it all I don't want to read the rest of the papers.

I am reminded of that old saying, "No good deed going unpunished" I'm glad she has become a first class bitch because I do not feel guilty about making her leave now. Up until about a month ago I felt bad about throwing someone out.

I don't think I have ever felt so used. I read that this is happening a lot lately and it happens with rentals. So you have to be very careful now. I am going to put in some sort of not to expensive security system.


EDIT - Amazingly a sheriff's officer was here to give her some sort of notice this morning. Not at all what I thought was supposed to happen. The sheriff told me not to go in there or have any contact with her and that it should only be a couple days before they are back to tell her too get out. Of course she was screaming, telling them that she has some legal report against me and blah blah. And there was a cardboard box in the lawn almost to the road that had been there for a couple days and I took the opportunity to try to get it and put it in recyclables and she yelled then about how it was hers. There is junk in the lanai and from what I have seen she has never once cleaned the kitchen floor. I could hear here a little bit after a while and she was complaining about how she can't get a place to live, which is true. But damn if you want someone to help you you should at least say, "Thank you" and offer to help in the yard or something. She hasn't just stolen a place to live she acts like she deserves to be there!

I am looking forward to her being gone and then starting the process of cleaning and making the place nice. I was also told to get new locks and maybe a security system.
