Here’s a interesting anecdote. Just happened day before yesterday.
I try not to do this but I interjected myself into a bad relationship between two of my tenants living right behind me.
The male was late on the rent after several broken promises. Their relationship (not married) was also suffering, loud arguments and some damage was done to a interior wall.
I had already had a talk with him and his girl friend had come over to my office to apologize for the ruckus..he saw her talking to me and stormed over and tried to cuss her out in my presence. I stopped him, and read him the riot act like I have never done before, except as a sergeant in the Army.
Then I told him to get out..
The next day he was gone. But he trashed his girl friends stuff and her kids stuff. Poured bleach on the clothes....what a mess..
The entire family of the girl came to her aid and after they heard what happened they came to me and thanked me for getting involved. That she was in a terrible abusive relationship and I had busted that up, finally..
I am not evicting the girl and the kids...it’s not their fault ....so I’m eating the rent and only asking that they pay the utilities until she can make arrangements for rental assistance and I will do that for as long as it takes.
It’s all I can do, but I am fully aware that I could be in great danger for what I did. They also told me that they had never seen a white man talk to a black man in that direct fashion...they were actually impressed.
Good. I’m glad the family was there for her and you are helping her out. I hope she knows how to handle a weapon.
