We can't sell the house because the amount we still owe is a lot higher than the market value so right now. I did consider reporting the health violations even though I'd be mortified to have people see the house in this state. If the conditions are code violations, the city could threaten to fine us if we do not get the house sanitary by a certain date. The threat of losing money is one of the few things that make her get her act together (with a lot of cursing and playing the victim). I just don't have the nerve to report my own home to code enforcement.
