Househunting . . . Again

Putting up a new post to restart the comment count, while MckMama is out searching for new housing. Hopefully she'll find something or work something out before the 1st, when February's rent will be due to the court in order to continue the escrow case.

January 27, 2012

Open Floor

Putting up a new post to restart the comment count. I'm also re-linking the Rent Escrow affidavit since readers are still discussing it. Hopefully we can get through the weekend without any more vaguebooking?

"What Form?"
--MckMama, when asked today about the form she filled out, declaring a bedbug infestation.


 

 
Please don’t post comments on JM’s sites; this request is for several reasons. First of all it does not further our cause one bit; in fact it may detract from it. Secondly JM is 100% in control of her sites, not us, and will use anything that we give her to her advantage. Third, it drives additional traffic to her sites and this is in direct opposition to our intent. Fourth and finally, JM keeps lists-–lists of names and locations of those who comment on her blog, specifically. Unless you want to be tracked, don’t leave comments on her sites. Thank you.

Decisions, Decisions

Putting up a new post to restart the comment count.

Site Updates:

The Rent Escrow Affidavit is now available. I think it's interesting to note that MckMama gave the court the landlord's MN address, knowing full well that he was living in California at the time. Did she not know the exact mailing address in California?

I've also removed the Bankruptcy: Correspondence page and moved the correspondence to Bankruptcy: The Documents instead, so that all documents related to the bankruptcy filing will be available on one page. There's now an additional letter to the judge, as well.

And finally I haven't expounded on this in a while, but please don't post on JM's sites; this request is for several reasons. First of all it does not further our cause one bit; in fact it may detract from it. Secondly JM is 100% in control of her sites, not us, and will use anything that we give her to her advantage. Third, it drives additional traffic to her sites and this is in direct opposition to our intent. Fourth and finally, JM keeps lists--lists of names and locations of those who comment on her blog, specifically. Unless you want to be tracked, don't leave comments on her sites.

Edit: The scratched-through portion of the affidavit reads: "no set address, all mail sent to the Xxxxxx address above in Mr. H's name is forwarded to him (he currently is in California)"

Open Floor

A new post is needed. Since the last post it's been relatively quiet. MckMama has posted some MSC anecdotes, asked for everyone to like a FB page for congenital heart defect awareness, asked a goat not to go into labor while it's so cold, reminded everyone yet again that she has an iPhone and taught a photography workshop. Then she published a post about how their landlord "sadly refuses to help" with the bug problem, how she keeps order when out and about with her MSC, her continued weight loss, her bum knee and finally yoga pants sliding off her hips. Oh and let's not forget that she showed her nasty side when an inquiring reader didn't (or couldn't?) get back to her with a reply on Facebook.

Bugs, Real and Imagined

Putting up a new post to handle the influx of comments.

A warm welcome to our new readers that have visited since the itching began yesterday. Pull up a chair and join in the wide variety of discussions going on; there's always something for everyone!

Your thoughts: In your opinion, does it help or hinder the housing case that we are openly discussing it?

Correspondence

Linked below is the letter (now publicly recorded) from the landlord to the hearing officer for the rent escrow case that the McKinney's are bringing against their landlord. Any contact information has been redacted. This is a cleaner version that's much easier to read; left-click to view or right-click for additional options.

Correspondence: Landlord Letter

More information about the Rent Escrow Action process can be found on the Minnesota Judicial Branch's website.

Edit: I respectfully request that readers of this site avoid locating and/or contacting Mr. H, as we do not want to jeopardize his housing case. In addition, please only post information about him as it pertains to the letter at hand.
Thank you.

Time and Again

Usually I receive the truth behind MckMama's latest bit of 'reality' well after the fact, but today I was given an unusual head start. I received the correspondence sent to the court yesterday in the McKinney's escrow case against their landlord, and in advance of MckMama's latest post. It's even more interesting to watch her in progress, to see how she spins and omits, never being honest with her readers but thinking she can fool them anyway.

A kind reader sent me a low res image and I'm awaiting an easier-to-read scan, but here are the main points from the letter sent to the court by the McKinney's landlord, Mr. H:

  • The landlord was to be in California for the winter, returning to Minnesota in February; the McKinney's were aware of this.

  • The landlord received no notice of the scheduled court hearing, despite the McKinney's having his California address.

  • The McKinney's were on a month-to-month basis and were to care for the home, the property, pay the bills and pay $550 per month in rent.

  • The McKinney's are not up to date on their rent.

  • According to the oil company, the McKinney's have never paid for the monthly gas service that supplies the stove and the furnace.

  • The landlord has given the McKinney's a Notice of Eviction and they have 30 days to vacate the home.

  • The McKinney's had requested to move out in December, but did not.

  • January's rent was not paid by the first; the McKinney's have claimed that they are paying the rent into an escrow account started during the bankruptcy proceedings.

  • The McKinney's have stated that they want to move out and have acknowledged receiving the eviction notice.

  • They claimed a bedbug infestation before Christmas, then stated it was gone, only to say the infestation had returned.

  • The landlord feels they taking advantage of the fact that he is out of town to live rent and utility bill free.

  • The landlord has advised them that there is a $10 per day late fee until the 15th of the month; failure to pay rent after that is grounds for eviction. They have been given notice again.

  • The landlord wishes to have his home back in February when he returns but the McKinney's are refusing to move. He is requesting that the courts take action to remove them.



Due to some of the comments I've read about the lack of heat, I want to reiterate that given where the property is located, I think it likely that there is a large oil/propane tank on the property that the McKinney's were to keep topped up. They probably have heat, but have been using the landlord's fuel and not replacing it as agreed.
