Pay Back's a Bitch...

Pardon the foul language but its just so fitting for the situation.



Davy's brother Robby bought a duplex on the same street as ours a few weeks after we bought the dew. Soon after Robby moved in he was notified by the previous owner the the tenant on the other side of his building would be moving out at the end of the month.

So this begins the search for a new tenant. The unit was only empty about a month before he found a lady that he thought would be a great renter. So we will know that people can put on great fronts when they are looking for a new place to rent. And she was probably no different. Robby came home from work sometime after the 1st of the month and was expecting his first rent check from his renter. Well instead he received a letter on his door that went something like this, "Due to having to have surgery this month, I have dipped into the rent money, and therefore rent will be paid on the 8th"
I was flabbergasted! Since when do you get to decide if you are going to pay rent or not?! I told him he should have sent her a letter that said, "Since you are paying late, your late fee is therefore enforced!"



Well of course the story doesn't end here, life isn't that easy. So literally the next morning at 7:15am Davy's phone rings. He goes downstairs to listen to the message and comes back up and says, "D from the Duplex 1 in East Ridge just called to let us know that she won't be paying rent until the 28th." Well since I was half asleep I thought he said, "D called and she put the check in the mail on the 28th." Soooooo....needless to say a couple hours later when I finally woke up and heard that she wasn't paying rent until the 28th, I was shocked. What do these people think they can just decide they don't want to pay rent anymore?
