Renter Agrees to Store 'a Few Things' at Their Home for Aunt. Then She Showed Up with a Moving Truck

The tenant had agreed to store "a few things" for their family member, who they feel took advantage of their kindness
They put their foot down and didn't end up storing the itemsA renter is calling out their aunt after she showed up with a truckful of belongings, expecting to have them stored for her. The tenant took to Reddit to air their grievances with their family member.
'My aunt asked if she could 'store a few things' at my place,' the original poster (OP) writes. 'She showed up with a moving truck.'
The OP claims their aunt reached out earlier in the week asking to store a 'few boxes' in their apartment — nothing out of the ordinary.
''Nothing big,' she said. Just a couple things while she figured stuff out,' the OP claims.
'I said, sure. I didn't think twice about it,' they wrote. 'Then a full moving truck pulled up in front of my building.'
According to the OP, the aunt brought furniture, a bed, a dining room table and dozens of boxes. She walked around 'liked she owned the place' then 'started telling me where to put stuff.'
Upset with her behavior, the OP allegedly confronted their aunt telling her, 'You asked to leave a few things, not move in.' In the moment, the renter recalls they could sense their aunt's judgement through. She claimed they were being difficult about 'extra space [they weren't] using anyway.'
The OP then told the movers to stop unloading items.
In the end, the tenant told their aunt they wouldn't be able to store any of her belongings. 'I said to her, 'I pay rent here. I'm not free storage and didn't sign up for a surprise roommate,'' the OP writes.

Another commenter alleges they had a similar experience with their brother-in-law. He had brought over some of his 'crap' to store for a 'little while, until he got into another apartment.' A year later, the homeowner was cleaning parts of the house and realized the 'junk' was still there.
'I was furious so I dragged it all out to the driveway and called him to come and get it because we're not his damn storage unit,' the commenter claims. 'I also told him that if it got rained on (this was in Houston) then it's all going out with the trash.'
