renting aint idyllic either

June 17th, 2008 at 05:07 am

Saving log - $2 tip box
Spending log - $1.70 coffee + $20 chiropractor + $1 apple

Brought my lunch today - a tupperware of the creamy beans and a large tortilla.

Deposited my tip box collection for this month - $44.

Got the notice that the IRS is sending the stimulus check sometime this week.

Now for the oddball thing that happened this evening. We got a call from the water company that we're being shut off. WTF? The real estate management (our landlord) pays the bill then bills us. DH hit the phone and called the management. We think that our contact guy - the guy who signed our lease - left. On vacation, or for good, we don't know.

In the meantime, I filled all our water containers. So there!

    uggg...you have my sympathy. We have had a couple issues at our current place with the previous management and we are definitely not thrilled about renting anymore. At least when you own it, you can actually get it fixed!

    yes, but flipside as owner is: here we have a tenant who doesn't exactly pay her water bill - only when they threaten to turn it off and slap on a $50 lein to the property. I as the owner am ultimately responsible for the bill (though I could sue her in small claims court). It would be nice to have tenants like you though!

    I've never thought about a CSA Share. Interesting. Would be nice to get produce straight from the farmer.

    mom-sense - The flip side is that I haven't received my once-every-two-months bill from the RE management yet. The last one I received was in March. I pay promptly when I receive the bill, but I'm not in the business of reminding them for the bill...and they know my address, if you know what I mean.

    twotinytoes - check out a CSA. The only issue is that you might be getting produce that you don't quite know what to do with. I like kohlrabi, for instance, but it looks awfully weird sitting in the box. Smile
