The Tenniswood family moved to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley to purchase a home, renovate it, and put it back on the market to capitalize on the real estate boom of 2022. They had no idea that their restoration efforts would come back to haunt them.

the original owner seems very weird. His arrogance, posture, man spread. Something wrong with that chap.

[@koryryon4177]

You got that right.

[@createone100]

I’ll say! Sure wouldn’t want him for a neighbour.

[@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS]

He’s pissed off! I would be also. Those people are crooks. They could have helped him by amortizing the 10 k!

[@lahart2003]

That previous owner is out of his mind crazy!!! He needs help!! He was notified mail AND email and did not pay what was owed?! Screw him & his Cult. He's Wrong you can't work with this type of person. Totally a self-absorbed lunatic! I don’t care what that guy in here says that these poor people are thieves?! This guy deserves what got him and it’s the law! And now the officials are holding their property hostage over this nutcase?! Unbelievable where is their rights at?! how does this county even think that they can hold anything against these people? They have everything that they need to prove what they did. And this guy is a goddamn liar that he didn’t know about any of this! You could see it in his face. He needs to be medicated and they need their home back!!

@@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS Medy? Is that you? LOL Frickin' weirdo! Loser!

[@TheTwil1]

The original owner that didn’t pay 10k. He’s full of it, all this happened because he didn’t want to pay what he owed. He knew of the barn, he was kept in the loop, yet he over dramatized his disappointment. Getting diagrams, pictures and letters sent to him continuously on the many different projects, and he didn’t get the email about his land going to auction??? The guy is a scammer.

[@lifechanges557]

Yes, I call BS on that he didn't receive that email. All he had to do was pay the 10500 and it would have been all over with. He caused all the trouble.

[@GameChanger597]

He told on himself when he said he didn't have the money to pay them the 10K bc he'd already paid them the previous money. That just proves he threw a fit in hopes that he wouldn't have to pay any more bc he didn't even have any more money to make the last few payments. He literally accidentally admitted he was trying to scam them

[@GingerNinja1]

Even so, did no one ever send a certified letter via postal? That would be the correct way. I just can't imagine no one sent legal, certified mail.

[@GordonRebel]

@@GingerNinja1 That is what I think is BS. There is no way they did not send him a certified letter on this legal matter. Although it seems this is not the first thing the sheriffs office screwed up on. The province should step up and correct their mistake.

[@chelsey1ize]

Very dumb not to pay that amount, considering what he did pay but not convinced about the couple.Didn't keep his emotions in check. Historic barns often can be saved, even partially. The Mennonites do it all the time. Communication is not clear on that. By not paying that amount, he left an opening. Don't underestimate what people covet, especially when you're not around. Not so sure about the integrity of this couple, no matter how well-meaning and well-intentioned, or civil they 'seem.' or appear. 'He said, she said'-no matter what side, doesn't cut it or if someone likes or dislikes someone.

[@user-ie1vf5sv3j]

Why? He is a weirdo but it doesn't mean they should get his house with 40 acres for 50k. Wife talks, husband nods. Nothing nice about them.

[@chelsey1ize]

@@user-ie1vf5sv3j agree, a gain should not have a bearing on amounts owed. it's not their house he didn't pay up but it's not their house hopefully the courts will order him to pay up and he should comply, act quickly, and then count his lucky stars, get them as far away as possible from the house. 'If it's too good to be true. . . ' they seem to be articulate and logical enough to strategize and figure that part out. They knew what they were doing and what they wanted.

[@patriciabond160]

The original owner allowed the house to rot, fall apart with minimal maintenance and repairs, throwing fits when a barn collapsed. In essence, did not take care of business, ignored business and did not complain until he realized that the house had been restored and is now worth hundreds of thousands more than it was worth when he owned it. Nasty and sad business

[@GordonRebel]

I bet if the Tenniswoods did not do all that work, he would not want the property back. By the sound of it, the house was not worth anything the way it was.

[@user-ie1vf5sv3j]

He was paying them for renovations, so took care of it. He is a weirdo but they are not nice, honest people either.

[@chelsey1ize]

nope, he paid up to date until they took down the historic barn maybe it wasn't retrievable, we don't know, only someone's word, doesn't negate that he is the owner, no matter how disagreeable he seems, the house and land should never have been auctioned off like that, absolutely awful local governance they tried to get the house without paying its fair market value and probably doubted that he would sell it doesn't help that he is far away and the family is probably deeply ingratiated with the local community but that should have absolutely no bearing on the rightful ownership and any judgement. He left himself very open and vulnerable by not keeping himself up to date on his accounts-Waay cheaper to pay, keep it straight, and keep a cool head.

[@user-gw7dv1ru9w]

[@leanneb7463]

They did an amazing job renovating it! Stunning 😍 hope things get better for them.

[@icyone]

what bothers me the Most, is how bad the owner allowed the place to get before he decided to love it. the damage wasnt from short term neglect. Any person who loves anything they own, treat it with respect and maintains it as if it`s a living being.

[@Genius-in-the-Lamp]

The owner inherited the house in its existing condition. Lest you forget, he did fork out 87K to get it fixed. The Tenniswood were hired to follow through with the owner. But instead, they took advantage to profit from a legal situation. The moral of this story is: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[@icyone]

@@Genius-in-the-Lamp it was a month ago that I watched this, but I remember him not wanting to pay for what was fixed which landed him with a fight over payment on top of it still needing more repairs from decades of neglect. It being his parents home gave him full opportunity to fix it before inheriting it. If I loved a building of my parents, I would have kept up with All maintenance of it to prevent Any major damage.

[@Genius-in-the-Lamp]

@@icyone Regardless, the property belongs to its rightful owner. The dispute is about an extra 10K of questionable fees. The bottom line is: the owner paid 87K for the renovations. The moral of the story is: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[@icyone]

@@Genius-in-the-Lamp property belongs to who ever has their name on it, but if u stop paying then it gets taken away. He admitted to not having the money, and refused to pay. This family didnt steal anything, or pay anyone off. The went through a lawyer. Are we talking about the same show?

[@Genius-in-the-Lamp]

@@icyone The officer who auctioned off the house and acres of property did not have the right to sell. Your argument is weak. Nuff said!

Boy this Mehdi guy gives off a very, very bad vibe. He seems unstable. Sure hope it turns out well for the Tenniswoods.

[@mortalclown3812]

He seems loaded... and not financially. Petty of me, perhaps, but I hope that he reads all of these comments. If he's capable of, well, being scathed.

[@saraafita3498]

As a Canadian witnessing the housing crisis unfold in my country, it's disheartening to see an American and a Brit fighting over land here while I struggle to afford a home. The soaring prices and limited availability of housing have created immense challenges for many Canadians, myself included. While international interest may drive up property values, it exacerbates the struggle for locals to secure affordable housing.

[@prawnstar9213]

Prices have inflated all over the world. But I feel you whole heartedly. Things are freaking falling apart for the millennials and Gen z. There has been an exodus within big cities and homelessness is everywhere. It’s untenable but even more so.. it’s inhumane. What are we.. feefs?

Of course the New Yorker “loves” the house now because of all the work that went into it. Then he turns around and sells it for a million. He’s made a legit threat at the end of the part 2 and I hope it’s been brought to the authorities. This couple bought a house and wanted to make a proper investment. They cared for it. They are the victims in this

[@MsLinda165]

This artist in New York; why didn't he resort to getting professional advice from a lawyer, the way the Tenniswoods did. He ignored the mail, he knew something was going on with the house, but he ignored all the signs. Burying your head in the sand is not a way to go through life. I'm upset that the Tenniswoods are brought to this situation in this way. The fancy artist in New York had two extra years to sell his paintings and come up with the money. I don't know how he wasn't fined for contempt of court when he staged his temper tantrum. The judge let him off easy. What kind of dream world does he live in? I hope the Tenniswood family gets their house back and gets justice; plus the 10K and interest from this loser artist. If he can afford to live in New York, he can afford 10K, especially if this house means so much to him. Also, a good lawyer would not make a phone call, because there's no way to trace what was said. A good lawyer sends letters, which he did, and so why didn't the reporter take him to task on this, and ask him to produce his email account. He needs to prove he didn't receive the email, but he can't so he lies. He has crazy eyes. He's a bit unhinged.

[@harpersmythe658]

Only a bit? I think he’s looking at unhinged in the rear view mirror 🤪 😂😂

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

That artist is one of the most annoying of the annoying. He’s acting like he’s in a high school theater production and he’s obviously lying.

[@countrybns]

In Australia one has to prove court documents have been served on the person legally. An email or a letter not signed for as received by addressee isn't acceptable by any means either. Horrible situation. I hope the tenniswoods win though.

[@GordonRebel]

If the sheriffs office did not do their legal duty, then they should have to go good on any financial losses on behalf of the Tenniswoods. Then if that nut in NY wants his house back, he doesn't get it back till he pays the costs on the renovations.

Perhaps Matty needed to have paid more attention to the fact he was running short on available cash to continue repairs to the house, or tell the remodelers to halt further work until he had the money to pay the Tenniswoods to complete the repairs. One would have thought the notice his house would be put up for auction if he didn't pay the $10,000+ interest the judge decided he owed for repairs should have been sent as a certified letter that needed to be signed for on receipt to ensure Matty had received it. He doesn't appear to pay much attention to details, nor figure out the consequences he might face if he just ignores the judge's ruling, rather than calmly and sensibly trying to find a solution that allowed him to keep the house. Tough way to learn a lesson.

Outstanding property taxes alone would have lost him the house

Wow can’t wait to watch part 2. I came here thinking this was about a haunted house 🤦‍♀️. lol

[@user-qj6wj5kz3x]

Same 😂

[@judytregarthen9094]

This whole time I thought there were ghosts involved when I read the title. I got all excited for nothing 🤦

[@Starfish2145]

Unbelievable. You just don’t take those kind of risks when you have children. 🤦‍♀️

They had already worked on the house for months yet they estimated it would be another 200k but it turned into 600k? If they mess up that bad with their own money I pity their clients.

The original owner remembered the house after they turned that jerk into a real beautiful house, he is greedy, and he is not mentally ok

So,,,,,,, the whole "entitlement/I'm an artist/Karen" -thing.. isn't just here in the US???

[@cherrypoutines6269]

It's almost like that movie, house of sand and fog.

I’m confused as to why Meddy’s land AND his house had to be put up for auction when surely just one of those things would have more than paid the $10,000 that was owed the home rehabbers.

[@danskdna8550]

Was it to pay back govt taxes on both the house and land?

Any updates on this story?
