‘They were told no and forget about it’: Entitled ex‑tenants try to reclaim the top floor of a family’s three‑apartment house years after moving out, the owners refuse and keep their own son in place

These former tenants treated a three‑apartment family home like a full‑service hotel, then years after moving out phoned back to claim the top floor for their grown son, like leases come with heirloom rights. While they lived there, they camped in the laundry room, tried to pass their trash off on the guy upstairs, parked guests in his assigned spot, and even shoveled their snow onto the space he'd just dug out, all buoyed by proximity to the landlord's boss. Now Junior has a new job nearby, so the ask arrives with a straight face: evict the family's own son so our commute is shorter. The parents laugh, decline, and close the tab on the world's most entitled room request.

  • Some people seem to confuse connections with claims and convenience with entitlement, then dress it up as tradition or courtesy. Housing is not a loyalty program, and past residency doesn’t grant future occupancy. A unit that doubles as family care isn’t “available,” a home isn’t a relocation perk, and “we used to live there” doesn’t beat “we live here and keep this place running.”

  • The playbook that works is boring and undefeated. Say no quickly. Offer no shared arrangements. Keep assignments in writing, laundry schedules posted, parking rules enforced, and boundaries nonnegotiable. This is how a house stays a home instead of a stage for someone else’s emergencies.

  •  In the end the son remains upstairs where he belongs, his presence keeps an eye on a father who needs it, and the ex‑tenants’ commute reverts to its proper owner: the person who took the job, not the family who pays the mortgage.
