I sort of put down the rental house thing while my daughter was sick and going through treatment. My partner kept on top of things pretty well, to hold it together , and did his best to keep me in the loop.
We've got one, who is gone at the end or her lease. She is nice enough, but is bad pay, and the place is turning to crap. I was going to not going to renew her lease last season, but my life blew up at the end of summer, and we just let it ride till things settled down on the home front, and we could deal with cleaning up the place , and re-renting
She is a working section 8'er. Her rent is $850 a month and she works, so the city pays us $350.00 ish and she pays the rest.
She is 5, maybe 6 months behind with us now. You have to pound on doors, and send 50 texts, and countless letters to her for weeks to make $150.00 dollars show up on in our mailbox.
So , two months ago, one of her little carpet chewers must have been hanging on the pedestal sink , and ripped it from the wall, breaking the water pipe in the meantime. It happened in the evening and although she could hear water running, she could not see it, so she did not call my partner till the morning. ( It was running down inside the wall). He took off work, shot down there, turned off the water, and cleaned up the mess, because now , the kitchen drywall had caved in, and it had shorted out the lighting, and blew a breaker.
He pays a plumber, and electrician, to fix it all up, hangs the drywall himself, paints it up , and goes on about his merry way.
We get a letter this morning demanding that we pay the increase in her last water bill ( about 50 some bucks) due to the water running unchecked for 12 hours.
So, she owes us $2500.00 and wants to quarrel over a fin that was caused by her kids, and did a grand worth of damage to the place, in which we fixed right up.
Hold on while I run right down there and hand her a 50 for her troubles. ( when hell freezes over ) .
What farkin' planet do these people come from?
