Our landlord passed away this week. Marina attended the funeral yesterday morning to pay our respects. She talked with the family briefly about the home (they brought it up and wanted to discuss it, she tried to not discuss it given the environment). The family mentioned several times how happy they are that we are in the home and enjoy it so much. It was a source of comfort for them that it is being put to good use. Apparently the family later discussed yesterday that instead of willing the home to the Catholic Church as they previously planned, they were going to allow us to do an extended lease to own option (discussion with the landlord was started over a month ago, but not finalized due to the health issues that presented). Essentially the family is allowing us to apply the lease payments for the next few years towards the down payment of the home and then purchase the home at an agreed upon price. Wow!! We are in absolute shock over this...we are so thrilled and feel so lucky to be in this scenario. We still have some paperwork to figure out over the next few months (lawyers, accountants, etc.) but... wow! So, if you ever feel like the world is made up of only bad people, know that there are still very considerate, generous, helpful, understanding people in the world. People like the family of our late-landlord.
