"On a December 10 episode of The Dave Ramsey Show, a caller and realtor from San Francisco sought advice about her fiancé's month-to-month rental. His ex-wife's name remains on the lease despite court orders requiring removal and nearly three years of unsuccessful attempts. With their late December wedding approaching and the property management company unresponsive, she felt uncomfortable moving into a home legally tied to his ex. The rent sits thousands of dollars below San Francisco market rates."
"Ramsey's advice addressed the immediate lease problem but the caller's final comment revealed the deeper issue: her fiancé's consistent failure to establish boundaries. His three-year passivity despite court orders demonstrates patterns that typically worsen after marriage, especially with ongoing custody complications. The property management company's unresponsiveness likely stems from the fiancé's weak approach rather than legal complications. While Ramsey's ultimatum strategy works for the lease, it doesn't solve the underlying relations"
A fiancé's ex-wife remains on a month-to-month lease despite court orders and nearly three years of failed removal attempts. The partner feels uncomfortable moving into the home before the ex's name is removed, citing ongoing custody issues and the property's rent being well below market. The immediate solution is to give the property manager a clear ultimatum: redraft the lease to remove the ex and add the partner, or receive 30 days' notice. The deeper concern is the fiancé's long-standing failure to set boundaries, a pattern likely to worsen after marriage and complicate custody matters.
