What's your strangest landlord related dream?
What is the strangest dream you've ever had related to Real Estate?
I have a vacant apartment I am currently renovating. I've been there most days for the past couple weeks. Last night I had a dream that I showed up to the apartment and heard some noise inside. I went in and saw that someone had moved some things in, a couch, a TV mounted on the wall. I go into one of the bedrooms and see a mother with two young children. There is a bed set up, the children are playing on the floor and the mother is decorating the walls with large colorful "ABC" stickers. I say "What are you doing?" The woman response" we live here now." I tell her she doesn't live here but she repeats that she does. I immediately think to call the police to report and intruder but first I ask the woman how long she's been there. She says they have been there for 6 weeks, which I knew was a lie because I had just been there the day before but this lie was concerning because in Vermont if you have occupied a unit for more than 28 days you are considered a tenant and I was concerned the police wouldn't remove her and tell me I had to go through an eviction process. I told the lady I was just here yesterday and she wasn't here so I know she hadn't been there six weeks. She started reaching into her bag for what I assumed would be a falsified lease agreement. Then I woke up.
Anybody else have similar stress related RE dreams? Another common one for me is to go into a unit and find a big water leak and not be able to find the shut off.
