Personally I'd try not to budge more than that, lest you end up with squatters who refuse to leave! :)Baby Smiling In Back Seathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809924206725113744.post-28794851366161906252010-03-07T12:17:31.781+09:002010-03-07T12:17:31.781+09:00Has it not occured to them that if you don't g...Has it not occured to them that if you don't get to move back in as soon as you arrive back in the US that YOU would have to move twice (just like they would wish to avoid)?<br><br>I think you need to reclaim your house and push your side of the situation more. I understand that they are friends of friends and you don't have a written agreement, but they are asking you to put their comfort above your own.Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08050880029224884665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809924206725113744.post-29449541479718701212010-03-09T03:34:11.917+09:002010-03-09T03:34:11.917+09:00I guess I differ in opinion here.I completely unde...I guess I differ in opinion here.<br><br>I completely understand the immediate and intense urge to nest and have your own space. BUT, thinking more long term: the value of your friendship with the person who hooked you up with the tenants and a good referral from the current tenants... I would compromise and set a firm move-out date for sometime during the first full week in April (the first weekend is Easter, so not ideal for most). I would also ask them to supply you with a physical reference letter (to show future tenants) and the written agreement that they might serve as a reference should you need to rent your house out again short term. <br><br>I understand your concerns about imposing on your friends. But it sounds like the grown-ups would have a blast whereas toddlers are a generally distractable lot. Chances are the rough week would be forgotten shortly or you can make plans for a daily adventure with your daughter to keep the children separated as much as possible. (I know, extra work just when you don't want it, but I'll bet everyone will have fun).Ms. Plannerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01409133656377265127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809924206725113744.post-79831514202085975792010-03-10T07:22:29.616+09:002010-03-10T07:22:29.616+09:00I have to agree with Red on this one.
