Household Hints & Help

I was more than happy to let him out of his lease. In his short time that he was in the rental, he complained multiple times about the neighbor's dog barking. The thing is, my (then) husband and I spent quite a few months renovating that house, and the dog was a sweet guy. I found out later that the tenant had been repeatedly antagonizing the dog in the middle of the night.

We gave the guy back his deposit and prorated rent. As soon as he was out, I gave away all of the produce that was coming up in the garden he planted, and then proceeded to chop down the rest, along with a whole lot of weeds. He walked by as I was doing it, and then sent me an email expressing how heartbroken he was to lose his garden. Oops.
