Homeowner - You and your husband should not pull the plug now.  The teenaged nieces and nephews are still growing up in that town, and attend the town high school and have friends there.  It would be cruel to force them out of their home and school now.  And if you want to spend more time with them, figure out what interests them and do that with them.  Outings to sporting events, theater, camping, trip to the city and they set the itinerary.   Be the fun uncles.To protect your investment, you should pay for any structural wear and tear.  Fix the roof if needed. Discuss appliances with your husband.  But give notice.  Too bad they did not put what they would have spent on rent for the college fund, though on one income there is probably little to spare.  And, I hope your sister-in-law gets help.I don't believe you would have had $6,000 in rental income because you would not be in the landlord business except for this arrangement with your relatives. You have built and maintained a house and it is a good investment as home prices have appreciated 100 percent over 20 years.
