Wow! We've hit 125 page views! Thanks for reading - the next few weeks should get interesting, so stay tuned!
I filed for eviction on Thursday; it seems the file-by rules have changed and I'll be heading to court next Monday (instead of the following Friday). The tenant got notice from me before I filed and sent me a few messages when I was on my way to the court house to fill out the paperwork. She wanted to know why I only waited X number of days to file this time when I waited longer the last time. I told her that her lease says that I may file as early as the Xth of the month (even though the law says I can file the day after it was due, regardless of grace periods in the lease) and that if I had not waived her past due rent from June, she would actually be WAY more overdue than she was the last time.
She stopped questioning me and actually apologized for sounding like a jerk. Twice.
Saturday, I was laying in bed reading when she sent me another text. She asked if I would like some crabs, they had more than they could eat.
You can't pay your rent, but you have more crabs than you can eat? We live in a state where you can catch crabs live, like fish, but we're not remotely close to an area that hasn't be crabbed-out. You have to drive somewhere, pay for bait, etc.
I declined.
I should have told her to sell the crabs to help pay her rent.
