| 0:00.0 | My entitled, selfish uncle is trying to claim that my house that I inherited from my grandfather |
| 0:05.0 | actually belongs to him. He's even gone as far as doing construction on my house without my permission, |
| 0:10.6 | simply because he's going to be renting it from me for three years, and he feels he's entitled |
| 0:14.6 | to do whatever he wants to it. And I'm honestly so frustrated by this man that I really don't know |
| 0:19.1 | what to do. I'm a 23-year-old male, and I was very close to my grandfather who passed away last year. |
| 0:24.4 | He left me his entire estate, including the house after my grandma divorced him. |
| 0:28.7 | Before he passed away, my grandma had asked him to let her son, who is my uncle, rent the house. |
| 0:33.4 | So they set up a three-year contract for $1,800 a month, and at the end of it, he could buy the house for $377,000. |
| 0:41.6 | And this contract ends this November. |
| 0:43.6 | After a lengthy probate process, the house is now officially in my name. |

| 1:00.0 | While I was waiting for a new contract to be drafted, my uncle asked if he could start |
| 1:03.8 | construction on the house, and I said no. But then a friend of mine who was doing the work |
| 1:08.5 | told me that my uncle had already started construction without |
| 1:11.5 | my permission. So I went to check it out and sure enough, major work had been done without any kind of |
| 1:16.8 | permits. I confronted him and he just denied it until I showed him photos. He then claimed that it was |
| 1:21.9 | his house and that he could do to it whatever he wanted. Later, during a family holiday, my uncle and |
| 1:27.1 | his girlfriend ambush me, proposing a five holiday, my uncle and his girlfriend ambush |
| 1:28.0 | me, proposing a five-year contract with lenient rent terms, no restrictions on construction, |
| 1:33.5 | and permission to sublet. Well, I refused and said that I would have my lawyer draft the contract |
