One of the funniest things that we run into over and over again is people who claim that "their paycheck is messed up" and, of course, "they said not to cash it or they said it will be fixed in the next pay period." Once such instance just occurred. This tenant owes us a few hundred dollars in past rent and the lease on the apartment is due for renewal. Hubby had to write an extra $50 payment into lease for the next few months of rent in order to get the situation caught up. The tenant was extremely grateful. Sometimes you have to work with them to keep a tenant who is reasonably good, but gets a little behind. This family keeps the place really really nice and clean. Well worth trying to keep them in the apartment rather than having it go empty for a month or two!
If you are wondering about the cats, the brother is still feeding and taking care of them. No homes have been found yet, they may end up at the SPCA. This sort of thing bothers me a lot, but there is nothing we can do about it. Both the tenants of this place are in jail and not likely to be released for some time. The brother got them to sign a paper relinquishing the lease and letting him clean out the place. Much faster and easier than an eviction proceeding!
