You think that's bad?
We rented a house where the people lived out of the country/with military. They had a friend who considered herself a property manager but in reality all she had to do is collect the rent and put it in the landlords acct monthly, and advise them of any issues. We signed a 2 year lease and were in the 2nd year of it when without any heads up from the homeowners (who we found out hang paid the mortgage in years) lost the house to the bank. They came out and tried to tell us to leave as they took the house. We refused because we had a lease and no money to think about security/rent etc. Then found out that 2 year lease is not legal in Florida so they considered us squatting even though we were current on our rent. They the. Had the power shut off. Our hands were tied as I hadn't been working a lot at that point because it was slow. We had to live in that house with no power and no way to have it turned back on because the bank wanted us out. We went 10 weeks with no power with my 2 daughters myself an my wife. We had no power for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years. Talk about feeling like a crappy parent going through the holidays with no power was pretty close to rock bottom. But in Jan we got a house and were able to get back on our feet. Tha t was over 2 years ago now. Was a bad situation, but luckily we were able to rise above it and move on. Probably one of the many things that has shaped the inner strength of our family and my daughters. Everybody hits rock bottom at some point, it what you do after that that defines you. Bless up!!
