Karmic Justice Strikes Bad Sister-In-Law When She Needs a Place to Stay

When this family's house burned down from a freak lightning strike, they were thrown into the direst of positions. Insurance only covered one month of accommodation and took eleven months to pay out. The family was forced in with the husband's sister, who took them in with "open arms." Usually, this would be the kindest act you could bestow on somebody, giving them a roof over their head when they're at their darkest, but this extortionist of a sister-in-law wasn't in a giving mood. She set absurd restrictions on their living conditions, including bestowing the entire family the smallest room in the house and having them pay a tidy sum.

Now the table has turned, and the sister-in-law has come expecting more favorable living conditions, but she, and the husband's entire family, think that it is absurd that this wife is standing her ground and taking an eye for an eye.

This thread was posted to r/AITA by the wife, Redditor u/Local-Trust-560. She knows she is being petty but wants to see if she is in the wrong here for delivering karmic justice on her terrible sister-in-law.
