Hey Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking

out some more. Ah, Celeste, you're mad a but ho. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not

consider hitting that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's

first story, which of course comes with an update.

It's from the user, Am I the Arsoul Landlord 2022, who says, would I be the asshole for evicting a family with children for not paying rent after their breadwinner died suddenly?

I rent out five properties, including a three-bedroom house,

which I've been renting out for the past year and a half to a couple with three children,

15, 12, and 8, for $1,700 a month. They are great tenants, good with communication, and have always

paid rent on time. Because of that, I've been lenient with them and have never raised the rent,

which is noteworthy because as of now, the rent I'm charging them is a few hundred below

market for this part of Texas.

Yay, inflation.

In late February, I learned that the father, who was the family's breadwinner, died several

days after being seriously injured in an accident.

This was a terrible situation, and I wanted to try to maintain a positive relationship,

so I waived March's rent.

The wife said she had to consider moving in with family now and I told her that I wouldn't

charge her any lease termination fees in that case. However, I was respectfully clear that

I'd been asking for rent as normal if she stayed past March. She was very grateful and made

it clear she understood what I said. In the three months since then, she hasn't moved out

or indicated that she plans to.

April and May's rent are unpaid and presumably June's will be as well.
