Blissfully Boring Week

A boring week for Fischer Rentals.

Sometimes boring is good.  Like when I'm so sick I can't function, as I was earlier this week.

As of the 10th of the month all the tenants we manager are paid up for September.  We had a random homeless family pitch a tent in the backyard of one of our properties, but other than that it has been blissfully quiet.

One of our tenants even paid more than I was expecting.  Rewind to earlier this year.  One of our tenants, who we required a double deposit form since they were risky, asked Bruce if he could use part of the deposit to pay rent, because he had medical bills with the birth of a baby.  I agreed, but only if the tenant would pay back the deposit in monthly deposits and have it fully replenished this year.  Never again, I tell you.  Another kid broke an arm and there were more medical bills.  The amount of extra paid toward the deposit dwindled then stopped.  I wrote a letter this week that they needed to pay a minimum of $75 extra each month to get it paid off before all the extra expenses of the holidays set in.  The tenant paid $125!

One thing that has been a little too quiet is funds, statements, or news from our property managed units...
