Losing our rent check, then trying to evict us I hate long intros so I'll keep this brief.  For the past 5 months, my apartment managment has been losing our checks if we don't hand deliver them to 'Paul', who only emails us to say they don't have our checks and they want to take us to court on whatever Friday is coming up. Paul is the size of a small bus. This has happened 4 times in these 5 months and Paul has finally told us it thinks we're lying about delivering checks. Next month is our last month here and I'm getting this lost money order and last month of rent taken care of. My one roommate did have 4 checks bounce, but was able to get a money order over to the office within 4 days everytime. We have always been more or less curteous in trying to work this out, but yesterday they emailed us saying again they didn't have our rent check again. Paul was out and the money order was given to the receptionist. It didn't go so well. Here's our short chain 1:30 PM yesterday All… The rent has still not been received.  The owner has advised me to file in court on Friday if payment is not received in full.  Additionally, no more personal checks can be accepted on your account. Thanks, Paul Me We tried contacting you all afternoon Paul. My roommate had called his office a couple of times, but they close at 5.  2 PM today I manage 100’s of units and often not in my office.  What is to discuss at this point?   If you need time to pay I need to know ASAP so I can calm the owner down.  He is pretty upset. Me If you have listened to the voicemails P left, you would know that we did drop off a money order. Once again, your office has lost it. So, that's to discuss. It seems that if the checks are not literally handed to you or J, they are guaranteed to go missing. I have never experienced anything like this with any building mangment ever. I'm sure you have lots and lots and lots of preoperties, so you have lots and lots and lots of opporunities to lose our checks, which seems to be exactly what happens every month. I swear, you must have had a bureaucrat come in and figure your filing system out.  We don't need time to pay. We're fine over here. We'll get you a money order by tomorrow if you can give me an exact time that you will be in the office so I can hand deliever this to you like it seems that I need to. What we need is for the checks to stop getting lost so we don't have to go through this every three weeks and make multiple treks out to your office every month. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe you're even telling me the owner is upset, like it's our fault. You do whatever you need to to calm S down, other than falsely telling him that we haven't dropped off checks. We are not the ones he should be upset at. And speaking of people being really upset, do you think we're happy over here with you having lost a total of $2550 now? With all the described things above? Did we, over here at Fargo, have a good experience? Did your office ever finally stumble on those other two, by the way? Him I’m sorry guys but I do not believe you.  You are the ONLY tenants out of 1000’s of tenants who claim that their checks go missing every single month.  The only ones.  Every other payment makes it to the person who processes the check payments.  Her name is L and she works daily at 612 Wharf Avenue and you can hand deliver the payment to her.  Of course the owner is upset.  Your bouncing checks and paying late.  Writing checks in the state of Fatisota is illegal. The owner has expenses to pay.  This is not our fault, but yours.  Going forward, your July rent is the last rental payment.  We expect it on time, in bank checks or money orders.  No personal checks.  You can hand deliver them to L at our 612 Wharf Avenue office.  Thanks. So, the last message is the response I wrote out, but my roommates stopped me from sending as they don't want it to say totally fuck us and not accept any money now and just push forward with an eviction. I guess once they accept payment, there's nothing they can do unless we blatetly violate our lease. So I'll be knocking on Paul's door tomorrow to tell it this instead. Anything who runs it's body like shit, absolutely must run it's business like it too.  Wow...I mean, the reviews online Paul. I mean, I wish we had looked at these before signing up. S got a great place here on the lake, but a big mistake choosing you to manage his property. A 1.8 on google and a 2.5 on yelp. You're averaging a 2.1 on a good day. It makes a ton of sense that someone over there is incompetant, maybe it's you. Who knows. I have over $8000 in my savings account. Do you honestly think I'd sit here and argue with you over this for fun, Paul? Why would we not pay our rent, Paul? If I have all that money, why would I take all this time, calling, emailing, multiple trips, trying to dupe you into finding something that wouldn't be there when I could legitimately take care of it with all that money, Paul? I can't possibly live here for free, so what would be the point of this?  That doesn't make sense, Paul. We're not idiots, Paul.  If I can actually skip over you and not have to look at you, that'd be great. I don't want to have to deal with you anymore. I'm sure L will be more pleasant. I'll be brining in July's payment as well.  This is your fault not ours. Like I've said from the beginning, we can only get it to you. Whether you're using them to wipe french fry grease off your fat fingers, putting them in a spot they shouldn't be going, or wiping chocolate sundaes off the back of your XXL pants, that's up to you. We can only get them there. Which we have been.  I don't think we'll need to have another conversation again.  Thank christ.
