A 29-year-old woman recently told Reddit that she learned her home had been offered to someone else for the weekend. After her brother realized she wasn’t even in it, he dealt her a financial blow. A recent thread on r/AITAH — the subreddit where users lay out a conflict and ask strangers to assign blame, hence the title, short for “Am I the a—hole?” — has gone viral after a user revealed her home might have been promised to someone else without her knowledge. The poster explained that her parents built a new home near her childhood one and moved into it. Since they hadn’t decided whether to sell it, she moved in about a year ago and began paying them rent. There is no lease, and until recently, that rent was $600 a month. Along with the house she took on the 20 acres around it. She describes that as a heavy job, made heavier by the fact that her parents still expect the property to be kept to their standards. Now to the main issue, which was her brother wanting the place for the weekend, so that his girlfriend and a group the poster says she has never met could stay there. AITAH for not wanting my brother’s girlfriend to have a girl’s weekend at my parent’s house that I’m currently renting? byu/Little_wing_21 inAITAH He called their mother to ask. Their mother said the timing was poor, because her daughter’s boyfriend was flying in that weekend, and told him to call his sister directly. He didn’t, and neither did the girlfriend. The woman who posted the thread emphasizes that nobody mentioned this to her at all. The house was empty for the weekend When the boyfriend’s flight was delayed a day, the poster went over to her parents’ new house to help her mother look after three of her brother’s children — aged 2, 4, and 5 according to her post. Her brother called her mother that night and when he learned his sister was there and not at her own place, he got angry. “I thought you said she was using the house this weekend?! What the hell!” she heard him snap, on speaker. She had no idea what he meant, so her mother then explained it to her. The OP says she wasn’t comfortable with the idea either. “To me, this isn’t just some vacation property that anyone can use whenever they want,” she wrote. “This is the place I call home.” Being left out of the conversation entirely had hurt too. A day later, she learned that she now has to pay $1,500 for rent from now on. Now she has to pay $1,500 to stay in her home At some point their mother told the brother what his sister was paying. By her account, he objected to the $600 figure too, called her entitled, and listed things their parents had paid for during her high school years. A day later, her parents put the figure at $1,500. They told her the two events had nothing to do with each other. The OP, to her credit, says she can afford it and that’s not the thing she’s stuck on. The response to the thread was a resounding NTA, short for “not the a—hole.” Many even latched on to the $900 rent increase, calling it absurd and cruel. “Tell your parents that the increase in rent makes it their responsibility to care for the acreage,” one user replied. “You’ll be working more to afford the new rent.” “I’m guessing you won’t be babysitting your brothers kids anytime soon,” added another. “Like anyone who rents their home, you occupy it and you make the decisions who comes and goes,” one person replied. Indeed, the absent lease is the detail that might favor her. Per Cornell’s Legal Information Institute, in most states, paying monthly rent creates a tenancy by itself — though the OP never mentions her state of residence. The woman has not provided an update on the family friction since posting the original thread.
