Soaring Solo 2010

[Gardener]

G-Woman,
Thank you for your input and always-wise advice. You should know, however, that I agree with the three salient points:

Your former spouse made some salient points:
-find out if there's increased liability and insurance (if necessary) before anyone can move in.
-No one can move in without a formal lease—even month-to-month.
-Require a signature from the homeowner.

But not that

The proceeds should be shared by us both.

Especially when absolutely nothing pertaining to this house has been "shared by us both" in 18 months. Not a dime -nor a lifted finger - from she who expects her 50% of the proceeds.
Two more emails were exchanged and now I am done. Their abridged versions follow:

"I am relieved that you will not pursue renting without following the proper procedures." You misunderstand: I will no longer pursue renting, period. This in light of your expecting to share in the proceeds of my advertising it, showing it and living with a total stranger while you, just as in preparing the house for sale, do nothing and contribute nothing to the process.On Monday, I declined an offer from a student who would rent the rooms if I were to buy/provide an inexpensive bed. After receiving your email last night, I cancelled (Name), a "professional from Danbury doing Graduate work at UCONN" who was all set to take it for a minimum of four months (or less, of course, if it were to be sold in the interim). This morning I removed the ad from craigslist.
"I will not look to you to reimburse me for expenses that I have incurred from moving, cleaning, and painting 2 times in less than a year."
I believe I moved you expense-free the first time. And I'm neither co-owner of nor am realizing any (increased) profit from the level of care or improvements you made to your two apartments Yet you will benefit from the untold hours, work and meticulous care I put into improving and staging this property since it was placed on the market.Henceforth I will be extending no further effort other than mowing the lawn and keeping the interior clean and "show-ready." The D states: "Gardener shall continue to cooperate in the efforts to sell the home by keeping the home and property prepared for all showings..." Clear enough. But I maintain that eighteen months and two apartments later is more than ample time for you to be keeping all your boxes in storage here in the basement. This clause should include keeping the basement uncluttered. I have been doing this by removing my stuff in order to make it look larger to prospects. I believe it is past time that you do the same by removing your stored boxes to your own home. I will, however, abide by Mediator's interpretation of this.

Henceforth I will be extending no further effort other than mowing the lawn and keeping the interior clean and "show-ready."

"I will pursue the matter legally — #4. You will be notified when the hearing is scheduled."
I have no idea to what you are referring with this, nor do I care. The #4 I referenced was from The D: "If X seeks to go to the home, she will contact Gardener first." and is one of the five categories of contact I stated I will accept and respond to.

Schedule your hearing.

Goodbye.

And I agree with everything else you advise, Gypsy. Thank you.p.s.: How are you feeling? How's the bronchial asthma? Gone, I hope.
