DH put on nearly a whole roof because of leaking.We have put ALOT of money in this place house and yard too. We have paid to live here. We havent sponged NOTHING. I know WHY they did it the way they did. DH has been married 3 other times, they wanted to leave the house to him in their WILL so I couldnt touch it. Now that DH wont listen to his mom (hes growing his hair out, shes having a cow) all hell is breaking loose, we dont appreciate anything etc.... She doing basically the same BS to DD (DH daughter/ their granddaughter) We pay all utilities. THEY changed the deal AFTER we moved in, so we thought we were going to buy the house from them, that is exact words. Its a way to control us, and since DH wont let her anymore I guess the deal is off.
AS for the remark about sponging, not taking responsibility, that pisses me off, we have put so much money in this house and the yard (landscaping etc) weve taken care of anything thats gone wrong with the house (like when the central air thingy in the backyard got hit by lightening that wasnt free to replace) We were under the impression we were going to buy the house from them.
Do you have receipts for all this? If so, I would look into filing a lean against the property for the amount of these items. This means, they can't sell the house until they settle up with you. This would at least give you the money to get your own place

One good thing - since you didn't have a 'rental' agreement, then they can't evict you for non-payment. Stop paying for major repairs, and save your $$. This way you should be able to afford to put a down payment on your own place. Sorry your in-laws are being pains, but I'm sure that things will work for the best for all of you. This is actually a pretty good time to be a buyer - you should be able to find a good deal out there.
Good luck!

i dont kow maybe if everyone new the whole story about dirkswife4 MIL they would understand a whole lot more. considering the fact that her MIL is my grandmother and i see what she is doing to our family and ive been around it my whole life. They woman is cuckoo for coco puffs okay literally. seh is trying to do the same things to me as she did to my dad as far as trying to tell me how to live my life cut my hair what to wear, etc. she has even went as far as threating me if i didnt tell her things that go on at my parent shouse since my dad isnt speaking o her. now tell me that doesnt sound a little bit freaking crazy to you????? to threating her 6 month pregnant granddaughter. my parent s have put up with alot of shit over the past 7 years. and i remember when the house was bought and the agreements were suppossed to be made. my grandparents went back on there word it has nothing to do with my parents not paying for 7 years it has to do with the fact that my grandma is a psycho looney nut and tries to control everyones lives and when she doesnt get her way she'll hit you where it hurts the most even if it means throwing you outta your house. my parents never sponged shit off of anyone they have always worked for everything that they have and that we have had growing up and for someone to say that not even knowing my parents or anything just by what a post said is ridiculous you should ask the person before making accusations about them or there situation.

That Is So Not True!!
MY MIL IS WONDERFUL!!!! I dont care what anyone else says about theirs but mine does not suck!! She is so loving and all she ever wants from me is for me to be there with her....Its too close to my hubby coming home for me to go live over there with her, but believe me if I have to next year I will be there. My MIL is so wonderful to me, I dont know what I would do without her...I mean I know I can call and ask her for a favor, I know if I needed something for my son or husband or even myself she would jump up in a heartbeat for me....IDK maybe I am living one of those dreams that just doesnt seem real until you fall off the bed and realize but my MIL is just wonderful to me and I love her for that...

In laws
4maxnrob, you are very fortunate to have a MIL like yours and that you feel about ther the way you do. My MIL was a piece of work and so is my mother. I would not give you 2 cents for either one. Since my mom moved in, I have seen how she is crazy, cranky, self serving and absorbed, selfish and demanding and how she treats those around her and I must say, my MIL was better than her. But that is not saying much.
As for maddysmom grandparents they will get theirs either thru the IRS or another way because I believe in Karma. Your parents will find a nice place and then they will be on the outside looking in.

DirksWife - you can take the receipts for the stuff and try to claim a lien on the house - but it will be thrown out in court. There are time limits on filing a mechanics lien. You have lived in a house for 7 years rent free - yes you made repairs - if you did not get reimbursed by the home owner then that is your fault. They can counter for the 7 years of rent that was not paid and probably get that so just don't waste your time on that - let it go.
So I would just look for a place to live that was away from that nut (your MIL). She sounds like a control freak out of control. Even if it costs you more to rent a place it will be worth the money to be rid of her.

In-laws

I doubt it. Since they have nothing in writing the in laws would be out of luck for no rent as well as long as they allowed it to go on. No lease means a month to month tenancy. Either party can give 30 days notice. Since the in laws never filed for a non payment eviction then they are out of luck. Here thought the tenants paid the taxes, insurance and all repairs. Since paying for repairs, taxes homeowners insurance etc. is not customary for tenants who rent, an argument could be made they they were buying from the in laws. The in laws would also find themselves in a mess when they claimed the taxes paid yet not the interest on the loan.

In the state of Ohio, the laws are bent in favor of the owner/landlord big time. If you are a renter you are pretty much screwed. I have fought several landlords in Ohio and even had fair housing helping me fight them because I was in the right. The fair housing lawyers represented me in court because I was right and the judge still ruled in favor of the landlord. These landlords broke numerous state and city laws and the judge didn't care.
So, I wouldn't count on the courts helping you much if you are a renter in Ohio.
