You can't own a house unless your this old!

Owning your own home is a dream of many but it typically takes years, if not decades, for most to even start saving for their dream house. This dream came true for a 20-year-old when she moved into her first house.

This is a great achievement for anyone, especially for somebody so young. The young woman, u/Most_While_8500, posted her moving in experience in one of Reddit's most popular subs.

The woman posted that she was very fortunate to find her starter home and buy it at a relatively low price. She was initially looking to find a rental online but she couldn't find a place that she loved.

u/Most_While_8500 found this house that was for sale for $15K, the previous owner was an old man who has lived in the house long before the redditor was born. The man passed away recently and the house was up for sale.

She said that the house was in good condition for its price and it only needed minimal repairs that her carpenter father can easily take care of. The young lady was doing some gardening and showing her new home a little TLC when she met the antagonist of our story.

For the sake of anonymity, the original poster (OP) decided to call the 50-year-old lady June.

The OP said that June approached her and told her it was nice of her to tidy the place for the old man. She then said that it's a quiet neighborhood and the young lady shouldn't throw any loud parties.

OP reassured her that she is not that kind of person but she was planning a housewarming party and hosting Thanksgiving. June said that it's weird if she throws a housewarming party for a house that she doesn't own.

June was in disbelief when OP said that she isn't renting but she's the new owner of the house. The old lady went home without incident.

Days after their first meeting, the young lady decided to repaint the door of her new home. That's when things got heated.

June stormed into the young lady's property and yelled at her that she better have a permission from the owner to repaint the door if not, June will call the landlord. OP repeated that she's the homeowner.

Still, June doesn't believe her and she demands that OP show documentation that she's the owner. June went on to say that OP is too young to be a homeowner.

The young lady told the old woman to stop bothering her and mind her own business. Naturally, June called the police.

Once the cops got there, OP showed them her paperwork and demanded that they take June off her property.

The whole Reddit post can be read here:

Here's why OP posted on Reddit

She asked her father what she should do about her neighbor situation. OP's dad thinks that she made a fool out of herself and should have just shown the paperwork to June when she asked. OP disagrees with her dad and thinks she handled the situation properly.

She posted on Reddit to ask people's opinions if she was in the wrong.

Here's what people from Reddit have to say:

This commenter thinks that June is just jealous that OP owns a house at such a young age

Another person shared their own renting experience

Sounds about right

While this person believes that June was determined to be OP's enemy no matter what

They advise June to mind her own business

This commentor gave sage advise for harmonious living

June should have done her due diligence

Another great advise not just for OP but for anyone who has nosy neighbors

What did you think? Is the dad right that OP should have just shown her deed?

Do you agree that it was none of June's business what her neighbor was doing in her own property?

Do you have any experiences with neighbors like June? We can't wait to read your stories in the comments!
