When privacy becomes a privilege and not a right, that’s when you know things need to change.

Many families purchased property several generations ago when things were cheap and mortgage rates didn’t put everyone into debt. These properties are then passed down from generation to generation and are specifically kept in the family for loved ones to benefit from. If you were told that you will be inheriting property that is yours and yours only, you would probably be upset if other extended family members hijack your privacy and freeload off of you and your parents’ assets.

By refusing to kick her niece out of the apartment, despite every glaring sign that points toward that resolution. Scroll below.
