What is the name of your state? Wisconsin When my mother died,
She left her home to my sister and myself, but also left a "life estate" for her then boyfriend. He has lived there ten years now, and I went to the house the other day, for the first time in about 6 years. I was shocked! The house was a pig sty! Dirt, filth, dog urine and feces throughout the house, the basement, and the attic! Paint peeling and discolored, carpets just black with grime. Windows filthy, woodwork filthy, and the smell in the house was just disgusting.
As part of the agreemnet, he is to take care of all "normal maintainance", and as well as daily cleaning, and daily maintainance. He is also to pay the taxes, and insurance. It was obvious, He has not cleaned a thing in years, and the paint on the walls I put on 13 years ago! The porch wood is now rotting, as he let it go unpainted for so long, and the ceiling in the living room is drooping where there was a water leak he never bothered to tell anyone about.
What can I do to now get him out of the house? He is obviously NOT keeping up his end of the agreement. Do I need to sue for breach of a contract? Thanks for any help re: this matter!
