Christina’s process started after a tragedy.
Christina Suchsland: “That is my father-in-law’s condominium and he handed away.”
Christina and her husband stay in Illinois. After her father-in-law left the condominium to them, she was contacted by the constructing president.
Christina Suchsland: “And mentioned that I wanted to come back down and fumigate and pull up the rugs due to the smoke scent.”
Christina left her husband and two sons in Illinois and got here right down to do what the president requested her to do.
Christina Suchsland: “It took me a month to wash the partitions, simply sufficient to color them. It’s been an extended course of, an extended course of.”
She then changed the kitchen cupboards, re-did the loos, and acquired approval from the affiliation to place in new home windows.
Christina Suchsland: “So I signed the contract with the home windows and the doorways.”
A couple of days later– the affiliation that accredited the brand new home windows had their legal professional despatched Christina a shocking letter.
Christina Suchsland: “Saying that I’ve lower than 20 days from the date of the letter to vacate the premise completely as a result of I’m not 55 and my husband isn’t right here.”
Her condominium is in Leisureville, a 55 and older neighborhood. Christina is 52, however her husband turns 55 in Might, and all she is asking for is to stay right here in her condominium for a number of extra weeks.
Christina Suchsland: “Let me keep and end my renovations.”

Why received’t Leisureville give Christina time? I nonetheless don’t know.

A neighbor has invited Christina to be her visitor for the following month. And reasonably than promoting her condominium and getting away from the folks inflicting her a lot bother, when her 55-year-old husband strikes down, she desires to remain right here to be together with her associates.
Christina Suchsland: “I met folks. I fell in love with them. They fell in love with me. I wish to make this a house for my husband to come back and stay.”
