There's Another Family in Our Apartment
I swear there is and I want to know who they are because I want to claim them as dependents on my income tax return.
I know this because we are only two people and I am presently doing 5 loads of laundry with another one sitting in the basket waiting to be done. The major problem is that this family does not pick up their laundry and the closets and drawers are filled to overflowing and yet they keep adding to the laundry? What does this other family do? Wear the clothes once and run out and buy more?

Re: There's Another Family in Our Apartment
I also have "day time" residents in my house.... When I get in from work, they seem to have messed up the house.
Also, I think they also have a cat - I have a cat and 2 litter boxes. When I empty them, i notice that the day time resident cat poops like a dairy cow.

Re: There's Another Family in Our Apartment
Oh wow, thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone with mystery tenants.
How do we go about claiming them or at least getting rent from them?

We had night piss artists once, both my boys claimed it was not them getting up and decorating the seat. Funny though, the culprits could have been their twins.

I've had them come to visit, the folded clothes smell like the dirty ones they've been thrown in with so you have to wash them again.

Re: There's Another Family in Our Apartment
Our mystery tenant even has a name, Rudy Gonzalez. No one by that name has ever lived in this house to our knowledge, yet we get junk mail for him all the time. We think Rudy must live in the basement ...

Re: There's Another Family in Our Apartment
I have the same thing!
Somebody is sneaking in when I'm not around and picking up my drawers/pants/socks off the floor, washing them and putting them in my dresser! The same crew of people (must be more than one) collects and washes my dirty dishes, takes my muddy boots and puts them in the closet then vacuums the mud chunks off the bedroom carpet! This would be fine, except I can never find my boots. Or my jacket, which gets inexplicably moved from the back of the kitchen chair (where I can see it and know where it is) to the coat closet where I would never think to look.
