Sanity check please.

I own a 2k square foot home with the living/dining/kitchen area in the middle with two large1bed/1bath on either side. I let my ex move back in with me as roommates 1 year after we broke up.

I work from home at the dining table and they knew this when they moved back in. The place I work is 25 feet from their bedroom door. They have asked that I not work in common space, even when they are not using it, because it makes them feel bad to have to ask to use it. There is nothing stopping them from using the common space when I work or asking me to move for a specific reason, etc.  And when they have asked, I have accommodated. They just don't want me to work there because it makes them feel bad to have to ask, and they don't like that I am working "down the hall" from their bedroom, and they think I am being inconsiderate. I don't have a desk anywhere else, they have a desk in their bedroom. They want me to furnish a currently empty room to work in. Financially this isn't possible.

I haven’t responded but I want to respond with something like “How you feel about asking for what you want is not my responsibility. If I am in the common space and if you want to use it exclusively, then ask, or just use the space with me. I will not be avoiding the common space just because you don’t like having someone in there when you are not using it.”

Sanity check that I am being reasonable or an explanation as to why I'm not? Suggested response?

Totally earnest question here - how is the client supposed to know or understand how the agent/broker relationship works? I've seen many posts where someone says "contact their broker" when there is an issue with the agent. But how is someone supposed to know this? Prior to reading these posts, I didn't understand anything about the relationship between the two and didn’t understand that there was a person above or supervising the agent that I could turn to if there were issues or I had questions. So I’m wondering if this is something the agent is supposed to explain to the client at the outset?

I know that pigs can hold their bladder a long time, but I’m wondering how long you’ve left your pig alone inside? I’m not talking on a regular basis, but in an emergency or on rare occasions how long is the longest they’ve been alone in the house, assuming they have access to the whole house, or at least a full room.  I’m just gathering info :) 

eta - I know this is pig specific, but anyone have cameras so you know what they do while you're gone a long time? Or experience with the pig getting destructive when left alone inside?

I have two pigs - one used to be indoor (the butt, below) and is now outdoor, the other has only been outdoor. Right now, they have a ton of outdoor space and no neighbors. But I may move and they will become indoor pigs with a yard and neighbors. I'm spoiled in that I don't have to think about them and can come and go pretty much as I please. I'd prefer not to leave them in the yard while I'm gone, due to concerns they could scream and disrupt the neighbors, as well as predators. But I am also concerned about being tied down to the house such that I'm limited in what I can do.

I recently purchased a home and afterwards the seller’s agent told me that they felt my termite inspector wasn’t good - the exact language of what she said is below:

“I also asked him about the termite damage on the facia board on the second floor and he informed me he does not go on the roof”

I understand that it was my inspector that missed the damage, but she also just admitted that she knew of or suspected termite damage and did not disclose it.  I thought agents had a duty to disclose - or is that superseded by a buyer’s inspection? Or are they only required to disclose actual reports, even though it sounds like she knew there was damage?

I purchased a home and my agent told me both she and the seller’s agent were each going to give $5k to get the deal closed (long story why). After it closed I asked where the 10k was and she said that the money had to come through escrow but no one put it in the instructions. She said I wouldn’t be able to recover the 5K from the seller’s agent, but that she would give me 5K when she sold my house. I've decided not to use her to sell my home so I won't be getting that $5k either. Is there anything I can do to get this money?

edited, changed some language
