My success on the $15k owed to me in damages and missed months was an email the length of a dissertation with a list of excuses including mold (nope, $800 of testing confirmed, they had a pet peeing on the carpet creating a bad smell) , _______'s cancer which came and went quickly, "having kids is hard", 1 of them starting college, and then an expected disappearance.

I only insure for catastrophes like cancer not colds and flu meaning I keep a $5000 deductible.

You can get a google voice number that you can point to an office line or your cell phone.

Another one I had was ;Had a mid 50’s tenant dying of cancer .in his final days he was in a good deal of pain .

@Matt MulvihillYes, that's certainly part of the reason laws were originally enacted around ATDS's and calling/texting cell phones.

If you want to call me, my cell phone is posted.

Hi @Christine Swaidan,The harder you emphasize you are getting bids from multiple contractors and hardcore shopping to get the lowest price and quality, the less time any reasonably intelligent person should expect any reasonably intelligent contractor to put into any particular bid.A family member of mine is a high service, high quality GC, always available via cell.

Cell phone has been disconnected and no one answered at the apartment, so we left a pay or quit notice.

Look into water meters with wifi that track right to your cell phone.

So we got 10 months rent/year.Back in the '90's she begged her daughter to get her a cell phone 'for the guilt trip safety concerns' & insisted that she would pay for it.
