I may be wrong, so please inform me.Personally, I wouldn't rent to family because I would see it put a strain on the family relationship eventually.

Our relationship is extremely strained as you might imagine, and communication is not as pleasant as it once was.  

The window...did you say you were going to replace it soon before or after she broke the pane of glass?

What I didn't know was the panel is a recall and needs to be replaced.

I'm feeling the same strain here in central Ohio.

It needs updated kitchens, 3 new furnaces (will replace all 3 once one breaks, they are over 25 years old each), has single pane windows, needs some new laminate flooring ect. ect.

I would assume this means that the rest of the wiring beyond the panel is still from 1948...likely a 2-wire no ground system I assume?  

So this is what you can do.Make a written offer from the seller to the buyer (yes, it is ok to do) on an addendum.Offer to fix the reason/reasons that they didn’t make an offer.For example…The Seller could offer to…-Install double pane windows.

Hi Tomas, sounds like your debt to income ration is might be getting a little strained.  

Unfortunately, right now you are at the whim of these late-paying occupants and your relationship is strained because of the late paying issue.
