Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for evicting my sister in law?

We own one rental house, nothing crazy. My wife’s and my very first starter home.

My wife begged me to rent to my sister-in-law.

That was after our last tenant saved up enough to buy their first home.

This man had some bills to pay.

I watched our rental mortgage climb due to escrow.

Nothing crazy, but I got a $200 increase.

I didn’t even tell my SIL about this, and I have just been covering it for her.

She’s an okay person, but definitely a prime candidate for poverty finances.

His sister-in-law has been making excuses for months.

It’s been a year since she started renting from us, and she started to give every excuse you could think of.

She would try handing me $100 here and there at family functions.

She had not paid full rent in over 6 months.

He put his foot down.

I’m now losing out on rent, and I have just been paying two mortgages.

I finally told my wife and SIL that I feel used, so rent would need to be paid no later than the 15th in full each month.

Surprise, she can’t pay it.

So, he got his sister-in-law evicted when she couldn’t pay rent.

There was no formal lease. It was just month to month, so it was a simple eviction in my state.

She called me a monster for kicking her out.

We got a new tenant almost immediately.

He doesn’t know if he did the right thing.

Am I the jerk for evicting my sister-in-law?

I’m not even taking her to small claims for the back rent, but maybe I should.

Because I’m a monster.

He was basically letting her live there for free. She was taking advantage of his generosity.
