What would be the benefit of living in the same house or as her tenant? For you and your husband?
If the bad outweigh the good, then what is the point?
Seems like you have enough on your plate as it is, why add this sister to the drama and hardship?

I am not sure I understood the situation.Your sister in law wants to move out of her house to let you, your husband and your daughter move into it, meaning she will become your landlord?Is that the situation?If so, and your gut instinct is that you don't like her and find her controlling, then it seems straightforward not to accept her offer. Your husband and daughter are both very vulnerable; one is disabled, the other has adult learning difficulties - so, if she really is very controlling, she could easily find ways to manipulate them (or you through them), especially if she has ultimate control over your living situation / your home.What would be any attraction at all in the option to move into her property? Is it because you need help? Can you get the help from elsewhere?

Go with your gut instinct, OP. You sense that it would be a bad idea and it would be. Why move in with someone that you don't care for and then to have them be your landlord? You think she's controlling now? What would she be like with you living in her home? This is a hard pass, don't even consider it.

reader, anonymous, writes (18 September 2020): If you and your sister-in-law are not on good-terms; I don't see any sense in moving into her property. You believe she'd be a controlling landlord. Any landlord would be controlling when it comes to how you treat their property. That's why you sign a lease agreement, and agree to live in their property in accordance to their rules and guidelines.
You have personal-issues between you; and that's reason enough to take a pass on moving into the house.

I agree with CindyCares, i too did not understand the whole story very well either.
Did you say she won't move out of her house, or she wants to move out of her house?.
Either way moving in with her, or her becoming your landlady, i think that neither of these options are a good idea taking into consideration the past events and relationship history.
Look for somewhere else to live.

I admit that I did not understand very well the whole story, like, if you'd go to live together with this sister, or if she'd just be your landlady but would live elsewhere....regardless, I'd say the decisison sounds relatively easy to take, and it's clearly a no.
If you can't stomach the lady, and the idea of having her closer makes you skin crawl, and if she caused trouble in your marriage for the last 6 years...obviously it is more prudent if you give her a wide berth and look for some other place to live.

What I did gather is that your family and your sister is not a good combo.
You would be on her turf, meaning her house her rules. She won't be necessarily right, but she will have the right to ask you to behave the way it suits her.
If you have the means, do not move in with her.
If you don't, well then you do not have much choice.
If it's the latter you will need to take your ego a few notches down and do whatever you can to improve your situation and move out of her house.
