How would they be "unauthorized" if I am aware of them and ALLOW them to be guests there?

Eileen have you ever thought about buying your own building and filling it with section 8 tenants? You have 15 years of experience plus you get to police/control others.

Yep, its because of Jon H. that I have seriously considered month to month leases too. He makes a lot of sense and I'm grateful that he (along with many others here) is willing to share his knoweldge.

If this is the type of logic I have to look forward to as a future landlord I might as well start looking for a property manager right now. This whole thread is beyond belief.

Just to be straightforward with you- I didn't lose anything. I'm not interested enough to actually DEBATE you. My contribution to this thread is the equivilent of someone rubbernecking a carwreck.

You can't be serious. You dont even pay for your own utilities and you are worried about them using somebody else's?

The neighbor doesn't owe you an explanation. Should she have been straightforward with the landlord/property manager? Yes. She should have asked permission to help out this family. Her not following procedure does not make you a victim. What would you have done if they were authorized? Yep. You would have bought some earplugs.

Eileen its obvious that you like to write. Why dont you take some online classes and vent your mental energy in a more positive manner.

Eileen I grew up on welfare and I'm VERY familiar with how it operates. I stand by what I said.

Okay that makes perfect sense. Its harder for an intact family to get help. The system is designed to help single women which is why earlier in the thread you saw someone mentioned the unauthorized boyfriends living with these women.

Its not your job to police the building. If the only DIRECT problem you have with these guests is the crying baby then get some earplugs. The baby is probably sick /cold/hungry/lonely/etc and many first time parents dont know how to soothe a crying infant. Since you have so much free time why dont you offer to look after the baby. If the baby cries all night it sounds like the parents could use a break.

I agree with Jon completely. Eileen has it ever occurred to you that this unauthorized guest may have nowhere else to go? She may have been kicked out of her parents home or maybe she's a battered woman fleeing her abuser. Try to have some compassion, you dont know what her or your neighbors are going through.

No kidding! I've seen this thread since the beginning and stayed clear of it. Why on earth she fixated on Jon is beyond me.

Eileen you got what you wanted so let it go. This time everything worked out, next time you might not be so lucky.
