You certainly shouldn't be liable for protecting the deceased's things until the freeloader is out. But the mama is giving her 2 weeks to pack and leave. Should be the mama's problem if anything is missing. Hopefully she removed any valuables. Hopefully the girl won't truck out furniture. So sad for all.

She saved you a lot of anguish by the sounds of it.<br /><br />I feel that in this day and age of cell phones, landlines are no longer considered a priority which is wrong on so many levels. What if it had been someone really close to you trying to get in touch. It makes me angry as we had the same issues with my mother-in-law's landline.sparklingmerlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600695778999486566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-34367877172532195692022-02-15T17:07:54.189-05:002022-02-15T17:07:54.189-05:00Without the deceased's mother's interventi...Without the deceased's mother's intervention, that could have been a very difficult situation and not one I have ever considered.<br /><br />Telephones have been around for over one hundred years.

Our Tom had his faults, I'm sure, but as a tenant, we couldn't have asked for more. We had a good relationship with him and were very touched to hear from his mother that he thought highly of us, as well. His room mate was another issue altogether. Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike her, but there are some very obvious defects in thought processes. That complicates things a great deal. She could have been a squatter and evictions are a lengthy process. We have never had tenants pass away before, and we've had 2 in the last three months. This is uncharted territory for us. The first tenant has a husband who survived her, so that was a bit more straight forward. This was tougher because we had a responsibility to maintain apartment security and to keep his stuff secured. Hard to do when there's another person there.

I'm glad that dinner was good and have mixed feelings about the tenant. Not much sympathy--more anger at people's intransigence and what it costs all of us.
