This is the kind of reason why I never get anything done in the evenings lately >_

Yesterday, I checked the mailbox to find a letter from the real estate agent to say we hadn't been paying our rent. More exactly, it was phrased to say we were being evicted and had until the 30th to clear out, but with a clause down the bottom to add that we could still get away with staying there if we paid up within the next seven days.

Good. You NEVER want that happening to you for real. D8 I'm having unpleasant flashbacks~~~

I can tell you, even though we know none of this was our fault I'm going to be extra paranoid about double checking all our payments and receipts for a good while after this. (And you have my real sympathy for having anything like this to flashback to.)

8Db Thaaaaaat's generally the best thing to do. Also, make sure everyone in the family/household knows about the entire financial situation, or else you'll have one person secretly hiding the mortgage payment until they can't tell anyone that they can't and haven't been actually been paying it aslkdjf;alskjdf;lasjkdfasd;flkj okay sorry it still makes me angry D8

Ah, one of those housemate horror stories, I only wish there weren't so many of them around out there. >< All the more reason for me to be glad the people I'm staying with are family or practically family, and (hopefully) trustworthy enough not to give each other that kind of nasty surprise. So far though, the one who knows about the whole financial situation has been me, and I only wish I could convince the other two to take a bit more interest.
