Dear Paul From 2007

I wrote this gem back in 2007 when my tenants decided to have friends live with them and then tried to make me collect parts of the rent from each of those sub tenants.

Before I renew everyone's leases for August I just wanted to make it clear that I am not running a rooming house and that the rent for the apartments is for the total apartment regardless of how many tenants reside inside... From now on I need all rent checks in one envelope either in the mailbox or at my residence by the 5th of the month. I am tired of having to track down individual tenants for their portion of the rent. If I do not receive the full amount of rent for the apartment you will collectively have not fulfilled your rental obligation and will be subject to penalties for late payment (as laid forth in your lease). This will be strictly enforced - failure to comply will result in eviction.

Its like I never learned from my mistakes as I was much less hardcore with my new crop of tenants. Here we are on August 22 and I still don't have rent for one of my apartments because they are having some sort of mixup about who owes what.

This year I made zero dollars and heading towards the minus quickly.

Starting in october I am switching to a property management company. I am so tired of this shit.
