My parents passed away and left their house to me. DW and I thought it would be best to keep family in it to keep heat on and maintain everything.

Long story short, after six months with no rent paid and finally able to evict we gained entry to find about $20,000 in damage, heating oil used up, and 10 cords of wood used up, walls torn out, sinks torn out, wallboard and trim chewed off by dogs, and several windows broken. This just turned into a terrible experience that taught us that it would have been better to leave the home empty rather than leave to family members to treat with disrespect.
