Good Grief!

The owners are gonna have a showdown about the garden. Found out today that the owner downstairs has been renting her place out saying that the front part of the garden belongs to her tenants. The nicely cared for part. The part that my landlady, and now I, have been caring for spending our time and money on. When my landlady called her about sharing maintenance costs, downstairs lady hung up on her!!! So now, my landlady is calling a meeting of the owners to discuss the garden and it's maintenance.

See, this is what happens when there is shared ownership of the land, but not of the flats. Really, it should have been worked out from the start, when that woman bought in a few years ago. Gotta say, this is one of the only times, I'm glad that I'm a tenant.

Of course, it's gonna to really burn me up if the tenants downstairs start using the front of the garden instead of some another section. It wouldn't take that much weeding, pruning and mowing to make the 'middle' section usable and pleasant. He said they just want to sit out sometimes on the weekends, have their friends over sometimes. For now we have agreed that we will keep each other posted on when we are planning to have guests over. So I told him right then that I might be having someone over tomorrow early evening and on the 28th.
