Ok so I always pay my rent BEFORE it's due...by at least 5 days. I also pay enough extra to cover any sewage or garbage disposal or whatever fees.

So...I come home today to find a note on my door stating that they have put 2 previous notes on my door asking me to pay up. The grand total I owe? $3.36. Yeah. Three measley dollars. The note says, and I quote:

"We have tried to contact you on Jan 9 and Jan 16 and have received no response from you. (This is a lie...if it was notes, they were never on my door. If it was a phone call, my phone has no record of it. Either phone actually. No emails either). This note is to inform you that if you do not pay your outstanding balance of $3.36, you will receive a 24-hour eviction notice on Sat., Jan 26. (I received this note on Friday the 25th after having spent the past 4 weeks in San Antonio. I come back on weekends, which is how I know there was never a note)."

First off, I have NEVER been late on a payment with them. Second, it's 3 freakin' dollars!! Finally, they claim to have contacted me on the 9th and the 15th which is a total lie. They have my phone number I KNOW because they called me when a package was delivered to the front office for me. But they don't call when I allegedly owe them money!?

When I go in tomorrow morning, I am speaking to the manager. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Gotta love bureaucracy. People are getting dumber. I'm sure a computer spat that note out and no one bothered to actually look at it. Good luck

the assholes that run my apartments held 150 bucks that we over paid them for 8 months, then when we went to renew the lease, the said oh by the way you over paid us, so just knock it off the rent, that was awesome. But i feel for ya with the $3.36 thats just insane. I'd go slap the manager.you should bring them a gallon of gas and a match and ay heres your 3.36

several years ago my old man was working as an electrician on a construction job and he was living in a motel which he paid for by the week. he came " home " from work one day to discover that he was locked out and a note said " see front desk " or something like that. when he went down to the office he was greeted by some guy that couldnt speak english saying something like " no pay ". he went out to his truck and came back with the reciept and the guy still refused to let him in. unkind words were exchanged, at which time the guy behind the desk suffered a good old fashoned punch to the nose. he then called the cops and when they showed up, they couldnt understand the guy either. dad showed them the reciept and they made sure he got into his room. when they asked how the guy got his nose busted and why he had blood on his shirt, he just said, " hell if i know. i came in and asked about my room and he was yelling a bunch of shit i couldnt understand. i think he is crazy. "

hahahaha.......

i guess this is just a stupid story but this thread kinda made me think of it.

Also, check your state's landlord-tenant laws. That kind of threat may be illegal because the amount in controversy is so low, unless they have proof that you received notice. Go to www.rent.com and search by your state. I'm not saying this is worth pursuing legal action, but it's nice to be able to threaten it when straightening out the man.

I should also inform you that I am not a lawyer yet and this is not "legal advice". Don't sue me.

Gotta have the extra .50 for the snack machine at the courthouse, right?
