Saturday morning ramblings

April 7th, 2012 at 12:07 pm

We got our rent check yesterday. It must have crossed in the mail with the eviction notice. Part of me feels we jumped the gun and should have had a couple more days patience. Part of me says "Rent is due on the first of the month, dammit!"

My daughters have a couple of laying hens. We got them (I'm thinking) last August. Late summer anyway. When the weather is nice, we pasture them under an mobile coop that is open to the ground. I move the coop every second or third day to give them fresh pasture. The grass looks nearly destroyed by time the coop is moved. But, a few weeks later it comes back greener and thicker than the surrounding grass. Natural fertilizer! So yesterday I had the bright idea to place the coop over our not yet planted garden. In addition to fertilizing the garden, they're doing a nice tillage job with their scratching and pecking.

We're heading to my in-laws today to celebrate Easter. Whether you celebrate Easter, or Passover or nothing at all, I hope you have a pleasant weekend!

    Enjoy your Easter!

    Did you let the tenant know that you received their check? They will be a bit surprised to be getting the notice from you and wonder what happened to their check. As a tenant, they should have called if mailing late...so I completely understand your frustration. At least they paid!!

    @Bob B's: Where I live, you can send out a form that says Pay or quit. I no longer use a yearly lease. It's easier in the state of Fla to get them out of your house when its a month to month lease. You can send the form out after the 3rd of the month. In Fla, we have to send that one out first and then proceed with eviction. When they have a lease, its almost to their advantage because you can't raise the rent and it also gives them protection. I've found it easier to collect 1 month rent and the rest in a security amount that equals another months rent plus a reasonable security amount. I would also let them know that you received the rent money.

    Glad the rent came in...would definitely let them know you have the check since you crossed in the mail!

    Great idea with the coop and hens!
