My entitled mother loses her mind after I raise the rent on my house by $3.

As she says she's going to take me to court and then they will give my house over to her.

And right now I'm honestly blown away and I seriously don't know what to do.

Here's what happened.

I bought a small starter home during the housing market crash completely by myself.

I lived there for the better part of a decade before buying a larger home with my now husband.

My parents really wanted to live there because it was small and easy to maintain. They have

foreclosed in the past, so there's no way they would be capable of someone giving them a mortgage.

Also, my dad is retired and my mom doesn't work. Now, they wanted to rent for me for a discounted

rent they paid off the mortgage for with an over six-figure inheritance my parents got. So, a lease was written explaining that it was a prepayment of rent, and their rent would be only the taxes and insurance, and they would pay $350 a month. And basically, that price would only go up when taxes or insurance was going up as well. We signed the lease with all the other typical stuff in it and had it notarized and that's how it's been for a while now. So, just to be clear, I'm not making a dime off this house. Fast forward and I recently told them the rent would go up by $3. And yes, $3, all because of a slight increase in the insurance. And when my mother heard this, she'd lost her mind, claiming that I'm a money-hungry jerk, and that she was going to rip out everything that she did for this house, claiming that I owe her and that I can't evict her because it's her house. She's not responsible for the insurance. Insurance hasn't been raised in over a decade, and I'm trying to make her pay my personal homeowner's insurance. She then said that a court will show me that, and that they will give her my house. Now, we have a notarized lease. They are listed as tenants, and I'm the only one on the deed. My father even demanded the bill so he could see if I'm ripping them off. Also, this house is a commutable distance from Manhattan, so a studio apartment around here is like

$1,500.

This is a house with a large yard for their dog.

I mean, I can easily get $2,000 for this house even before they moved in.

I sent them copies of the taxes and insurance showing only their address.

And for the record, I'm charging them discounted taxes.

I told them to add and divide by 12, and told my mother to talk to a lawyer so they can slap them straight. I guess my father agree with me because she's now divorcing my father. So right now, everything's a mess and I seriously don't know what to do. Before we go any further, the original poster has an update that they would like to share. Here's what they had to say. First of all, I want to thank everybody for all their comments. I was mainly just venting because I was very upset after the exchange and I have been dealing with some health issues. So it's just a range of emotions right now. I keep getting a lot of the same questions. So to clarify a few things, they have lived there for four years now. My mom has always been entitled and an alcoholic.

And I mainly did this for my father, so he can get a chance to retire after having heart surgery

when he worked a physically demanding job for over 36 years. They asked to rent the house and

paid off as a prepayment of mortgage. So the only big bill monthly was their health insurance.

I had a few others interested in renting my

house, so I did not ask them for this. They also did not co-sign on the mortgage or help with the

down payment. Their name is not on my house or the deed. There had been rent increases in the past
