I really hate family. Some more than others.

My uncle is living in the house that was inherited by my mom. There was an agreement that he pay rent, $300 a month. Pretty cheap for our area for a room with full utilities.

There was a 5 year period hat "they" (niece and his estate) did not pay. Then THEY started paying $160 a month after threat of limited service (internet)

Mom dies, no payment since January. I send email asking for $100 a month. No response.

Just sent another email. I'm limiting internet from 9am to 5pm unless I get paid $100. ONE THIRD the original agreement.

Am I wrong? I'm not threatening to kick him out. I'm just asking for a contribution to expenses.

One third of the utilities.

@MrsBentoBako Are they financially indigent, or disabled or on a fixed income, or do they just not pay when they could do so?

@AskTheDevil

For the past few years (2 any way) they have been paying my mother $160 a month for rent and utilities. This is after not paying 5 years.

The agreement was $300 a month. They have not paid in a month. I sent an email 30 days ago.

There is bad blood between my cousin and my mom because of this, Facebook about it.

@AskTheDevil
My uncle is an invalid. He had an agreement with his parents. He had an agreement with his sister. That agreement has NOT been fulfilled.

I am willing to honor the agreement with conditions. Those conditions have been presented to my cousin. It has been 30 days.

@MrsBentoBako Do you need the money, or is it the principle of the thing?

@AskTheDevil

It is more the principal. There was a 5 year period that they did not pay my mother, while enjoying all the benefits.

I am not my mother.

@MrsBentoBako my very blunt suggestion is get a lawyer and evicted their asses. It'll be cheaper for you in both money and mental health.

@Ruthat
I will not evict my uncle that is invalid. I will not go against my grand parents wishes.

I just want my cousin to honor their agreement with contributing to the household.
