VICTORY at LAST!!!!!!!
Or, more accurately....
The lady is gone. Vanished. Left with no forwarding address.
And, she took the cats.
Plus, I got to hear the whole thing, as I was mowing (with my new, whisper quiet electric mower) while she yelled her head off on her cell phone as she was moving out.
It seems her (deleted, deleted, and yet more grandma unfriendly terms deleted) were horribly cat haters and complained. She was really letting 'whoever' complained have it. She actually used the phrase "What is the problem if they dig and crap in their yard? Cats will be cats."
Listening to her rant, it became clear she was mentally incapable of even entertaining the idea that letting cats just run wild could in any way inconvience other human beings. She is incapable of seeing beyond herself.
Now, as to why she moved, and part of the reason she was so ticked off.
Her lease says no pets. She had 3 dogs and 4 cats. When Animal Control kept getting called in (and the lady pretended no one was home), the Animal Control agent got the brainstorm of looking up who lived there via public records. Thus she got the land-lords phone, and told him how all the animals at the house were disturbing the neighbors.
His first thought was "What animals at the house with a No-Pets clause?!?!"
He drove over and gave them 48 hours to clear out.
I should point out that the land lord IS a slum-lord. He doesn't give a darn who he rents to, the house is starting to fall apart and he doesn't do jack.
I think the only reason he kicked her out (the animals had been around 8+months) was this was the first he'd heard of it, and the animals might damage stuff.
Since he bought that house (nieghbors have been there forever), the 'Cat Lady' was one of the better tenants.
The previous tenant got left he stopped paying rent. That's what happens when you develop a Meth Habit.
The land-lord is a jerk. That's about nicest thing I can say. I talked to him for 30 seconds and, while I'm no paladin, me Detect Jerk ability was almost blinding.
It'll be OK. We were looking at moving in a year or two anyway. And my wife has a shot at a better job about 60 miles away (as I live 30 miles from work to begin with, the distance would be the same, just going North rather than East to get to work).
Bottom Line.
She was incapable of giving a darn about anyone but herself.
Landlord's incapable of giving a darn about anyone other than his pocket-book (not in the smart-greedy way, more in the stupid-lazy-greedy way).
