    Font - Posted by u/Local-Trust-560 AITA for making my SIL pay above average rent for one bedroom? I am 100% being petty here but curious if I am actually wrong. Most of my husbands family think I am being childish and "need to let the past go", as my SIL can't afford this but her behavior toward us in the past makes me feel this is warranted.

    Font - 2 years ago my house burnt to the ground after being struck by lightening. Thankfully it was during the day so our 3 kids were at school and my husband and I were at work. We lost everything but we were safe. It took almost 11 months for the insurance to pay out. The insurance covered 1 month worth of hotel stays but after that we were made to fend for ourselves and the only option we had was to move in with my SIL. She tells us we can have her spare room and her office space, since she u

    Font - 3 months ago my grandmother decided that she wanted to go to assisted living after a fall and transferred the deed of her house to me and basically said it was mine now. It is a 5 bedroom farmhouse. My boys insist on sharing a room so we have 2 extra bedrooms. Well, my SIL lost her house last month due to not paying her land tax for several years and asked if her and her step daughter could stay with us until they get enough money to move down south. I said sure, 1 bedroom, $800 a month a

    Font - timespassing 16 hr. ago 2 & 39 More Partassipant [1] NTA. It's $250/month for the room and $750/month for you having to see her stupid face every day. You're giving her an 80% discount on the rent because she's family. 34.6k Reply Share herecomes_the_sun 16 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [21] Thanks for making me laugh today 4.6k Reply Share anaisaknits 11 hr. ago Partassipant [1] I so love petty when it is definitely deserved.

    Font - Alienne8r 1 day ago Asshole Enthusiast [8] Wow I was really going the other way when I read the title but yeah you are NTA. You simply treated you SIL how she treated you. Not worse and not better. If she thinks it's unfair then it shows she knew what she did was wrong first. Screw anybody who says you should accommodate. Best thing ever that she left. Enjoy your farm house! 9.9k Reply Share fastyellowtuesday 1 day ago Asshole Aficionado [15] OP would still be treating her better. SIL's p

    Font - CO KTB1962 1 day ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [35] Childish and petty as hell? Oh yeah. But also NTA. Tell your SIL and everyone else that you reap what you sow. IMO, you're being extremely generous in requesting that she pay $200 less than what you paid for 1 room. This is also a good one for r/pettyrevenge 4.7k Reply Share ronearc 1 day ago S Asshole Enthusiast [6] I'd argue it's neither childish nor petty.

    Font - StarDMC26 1 day ago ΝΤΑ You stated that you had 5 people crammed in a room and she managed to moan and complaint sharing one with her step daughter... She seems like s free loader and shouldn't be enabled to just mooch off others and float by. Where is her husband/step daughters dad? Did she not once apologize to you for the cramming you in a small room and upcharging you? $800 a month is basically the price of a room rental in most places. You are NTA at all. 2.0k ...

    Font - o Local-Trust-560 OP. 1 day ago Her husband is down south helping take care of his parents and while we lived there, she claimed her husband was the one who set the rate but he was never around to actually confirm or deny this. She never apologized. When we said we couldn't afford it she basically said "well I have a house to maintain too". No apology, nothing. 1.7k Reply Share Difficult-Mix8911 1 day ago Which she then didn't maintain. Also, she was probably committing Food Stamp Fraud;

    Font - Lux--Ray 1 day ago . NTA Classic double standards here. So it's ok for her to extort you when you need help in an emergency situation, but it's not ok for you to charge her that much because she lost her house because of her being unreliable? Absolutely not. While I must say it is petty, she had it coming. Screw her. 673 Reply Share

    Font - Jnbntthrwy 1 day ago Partassipant [2] NTA. She took advantage of your family at a very low time. Maybe your delivery was not polite, but who cares? This doesn't sound like someone you need in your home. 643 Reply Share
