A Good & Bad Day

Crappy shot but it brings good news... my 2019 Year in Review photo book arrived and I quite like it!!

Not a great day here otherwise... no time for photos as I was completely obsessed with rental house issues. It appears one of our tenants as LEFT! No rent money yet and she's not communicating via any form. I spent hours on the phone with the BC Tenancy Board figuring out my next steps. Had to fill out paperwork and tape it on the front door. My mom came as my "witness" and we peeked in the kitchen window to find that the house was virtually deserted. No furniture in sight. So back home I went to make another call to the Tenancy Board. It appears more forms and wait times are in my future. I can't legally get inside for 4 days and then will have to wait another 5 to 10 business days to get an "order of possession" so I can change the locks and get MY house back. It's all so frustrating and emotionally draining. My head has been pounding most of the day!

that sounds horrific! Hope it all gets sorted out with a positive outcome for you.

Glad you got the happy orange package, the rest sounds dreadful.

[Sally Ings]

That sounds rather stressful. I hope that you are able to get things sorted without too much more stress.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

yay orange!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Hope you get it sorted out as soon as possible. I had the same problem.

[Caterina]

Beautiful package. I never had books made, but it is a good idea. The rental story is really bad. Good luck

[Casablanca]

Ouchies, rental sure does have some horror stories with it. When one of my friend's tenants left, they stole all the internal doors....... Hope you are back in soon and everything can be sorted.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Pleased for you re the orange package but oh what a headache re the rental issue . Hope you will get your property back without further stress (and all in order !!)

[Issi Bannerman]

Sorry about your rental situation. When I was young, I rented out my own one-bedroomed flat when I moved to Paris for a couple of years. One set of tenants were great but the second tenant left without having paid 3 months rent. My solicitor tracked him down and got the money off him, but the solicitor's fees ate that up pretty quick! However, I felt vindicated ... but only just! I hope it all works out for you - I feel sure it will. xx

That sounds very stressful but I hope you are loving your photo book

[Joan Robillard]

Being a landlord is like the girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead. When it is good it is very, very good and when it is bad it is horrid.

[Merrelyn]

I hope you are able to get it sorted out quickly.

[Pigeons Farm]

I am sorry to hear about your rental issues. I hope that you get it sorted out without any further issues as soon as practical. Enjoy your photo book :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot and hurrah for your book coming in. Sorry about your rental house issues. I hope you can get it resolved soon.

[gloria jones]

That is unbelievable about the reams of paperwork you need to get access to your property.

[Milanie]

Joan said it right! How horrid to have to go through all their hoops to get to your own property. But the orange box was a definite plus to the day.

[william wooderson]

I sympathise... my parents had a very similar experience about 15 years ago...

[Bep]

Sorry to hear about your rental problems.Hope everything can be sorted.
Enjoy your photo book, Kim.

[carol white]

Lovely to look back on photos. I have quite a few photo books. Sorry to hear about your rental problems

[Louise]

Oh no, so frustrating!

[Jean]

I need to do a photo book. Sorry about the rental problems.

[Michelle Renee]

Hope things work out with your house!

[Kathy]

I knew I didn't want to be a landlord! Sorry to hear about all this trouble. Legal red tape and forms are so time consuming and rarely seem to help the victim. Glad you got your book today.

[Lou Ann]

That all sounds ridiculous, it’s YOUR house. I’m so sorry.

[Danette Thompson]

Being a landlord is not all fun and games. Hoping all goes smothly going forward.

[Leon Buijs]

Hope you get your tenant-troubles sorted soon, enjoy your photo book

[Helen Jane]

That does sound like a troubled day. It wlll be so time consuming to try and sort. Thank goodness you were pleased with your book and hopefully it can be some distraction for you.

[CC Folk]

I have seen one too many scary rental movies to ever want to deal with tenants. But your photo book sounds fabulous! :)
