If I were in your shoes Id even be worried about that passing muster as "reasonable and customary" if asked to answer in front of a judge.There is a difference in being a licensed business and holding a plumbers mechanical sub contractors license.

Haven't even bought shoes in a year.

You need to put yourself in the shoes of this guy.  

Put yourself in their shoes.  

Not always easy to place myself in the shoes of a tenant, @Jermell Shavers! 

You have the Contract and you are the Owner; if I were in your shoes I would let him know that if he fails to pay, you will start eviction proceedings. 

If neither of these make sense to you give me your input on what does make sense in my current situation if you were in my shoes? 

Is it because you put your wet shoes and coats in the closet after being out in the rain? 

@Jack B.A few thoughts:Did your tenants wear shoes in the property and we’re they dirty?

You step into the shoes of the person you are representing, and become liable equally.
