In a viral post shared in Reddit’s Am I The ** group, which can be seen here, the now-deleted user claimed her dad married a woman named Maria and that they moved into a larger house.

The 29-year-old said her husband offered to buy the house that they could live in, as her father “couldn’t afford it,” provided that she and her partner did not reveal he bought it and that it was in her name.

The Reddit user insisted: “I never planned to tell her.”

She added she and her partner live abroad and that she stayed with her father and stepmom while she was in the country.

The post continued: “The whole time, Maria made it clear I was an inconvenience and that me doing things with my dad was annoying to her, but I’m not a confrontational person, and I don’t react to much, so I let it go.

“However, two days before I was due to leave, she came into my room and saw that I had my dad’s dog on the bed. Now, this is a dog that my dad has had since before he met Maria and that I raised.

“Maria doesn’t allow him on her bed which is fine, but I’ve always had him sleep on mine. She flipped out, saying this was the final straw, that she’d had enough of me disrespecting her in her own home, and I had to leave.”

The Reddit user said she “tried to de-escalate” the situation, but that Maria was adamant that she leave.

She added: “After several minutes of me trying to explain to her that it was absurd of her to try and kick me out of my dad’s house without talking to him, she said that what she said went and since she married my dad this is technically her house.

“I just chuckled and said since my name is on the deed, it’s technically my house, but there’s no need to get technical, we should just wait for my dad. She was shocked and left the room. When my dad came back, I told him what happened, and he went to speak to her. There was a shouting match, and she didn’t speak to either of us until I left two days later.”

According to Pew Research, there were an estimated 82.8 million owner-occupied homes in the U.S.

Since being shared on December 8, the Reddit post has attracted more than 10,900 upvotes.

Tom Cranenburgh National Property Specialist at the U.K.-based website getanoffer.co.uk, told Newsweek: “This is a complicated situation and similar to the type I see all the time: property and informal agreements with friends or relatives are often an absolute disaster.”

He continued: “From a property point of view, everything is wrong. There is no agreement so what happens if Maria and the father divorce, or he dies? Does Maria stay forever rent-free? Not ideal as you have clearly fallen out.

“From a personal viewpoint, I don’t blame Maria for being upset, she has been misled by her husband and stepdaughter and the withheld information was used against her in an argument, which the author admits was a mistake.

“If she is a ’tenant’ as you say, she has every right to kick you out of the house: landlords do not have a right to sleep in their property! If she is not a tenant, she has the right to throw you out of her home. The fact you own the property is, when it comes to an argument, irrelevant.

“Did they take legal advice at the outset? If Maria refuses to leave, it could be argued she now has a life tenancy, possibly rent-free. It’s a mess. Both as a relationship and a business venture.

“I would strongly suggest a full apology over the muttered secret, explain it was because you didn’t want her to feel beholden and try to patch up the relationship to enjoy your father’s remaining years on friendly terms. If he does pre-decease her, I’m afraid you have problems ahead, I’d bet my lunch money on it.”
