To move out. Long story short I signed a 6 month lease to rent a room from a woman in December 2015. My lease expires on June 27th of this year.
We talked about a renewing the lease a few weeks ago and she was not comfortable with it. Claimed I was not the same person and she did not feel comfortable having me in her house. Now this is the same woman who said I was part of the family and that she cares about me as a person and blah, blah, blah.
A little about here. 56 years old. Has not worked for 4 years. Somehow conned one of her ex-husbands into paying child support of $1800 a month until their daughter is 21. She gets new grants every year so she can go back to school and "show" she is training for a new major. Changes her major and gets new grants. Great system our government has
Training to be a paralegal which will not work out since she cannot use MS Word and does not handle stress well.
She's gambled away the past two rent checks and is two months behind on her mortgage. The HOA is coming after her because she refuses to paint her house because she does not have $2500 and she is behind on her fees. Very stressful situation but she got herself into it. Also had her mother living at the house and was charging her elderly mother $2,000 a month in rent. Was charging her daughter $1600 a month in rent until the daughter lost her job for refusing to take a drug test.
So I see her sliding into depression. Sleeping during the days. Up until 6.00 AM. So last Friday she tells me she cooked some food and said I could eat some. I guess I ate too much so she cooked more and left a note saying I could have a "portion" and that the food was for her and her daughter's diet. No problem.
I send a text apologizing for eating too much food, ask her what it costs and told her I will add it to the next rent check.
She BLOWS up accusing me of being negative and how this is not working out and that she is GIVING ME A WEEK to move out.
Problem is I paid first and last's month so my lease does not end for another 5 weeks. I would gladly move out sooner if she paid me back but she has no money. Literally.
So my question is should I give this woman some time to cool off or let her know I am not leaving until my lease is up. I think she may be having some kind of mental breakdown and don't want to be around when she goes off the deep end. She loves playing the victim.
She can lock the screen door so I cannot get in but what then? Call the cops and show them the lease. She will not answer the door.
I'm not losing money because a grown adult has gotten herself into a deep hole. Of course I am going to move when the lease is up but not sure what I should dot for the next 5 weeks?
All I texted her back was I was not being negative and I was sorry for eating too much and was kindly offering to pay her back. No reply. We live in Florida by the way.
