The Craziest Excuses Tenants Ever Told Me for Not Having Their Rent Paid

1. I had the money but then that electric bill came up unexpected like

2. Oh that American Express card don’t stay good forever you know

3. It’s your fault for renting me an apartment I can’t afford

4. I thought I could just skip this month

5. I painted the walls in the entire house black - that should cover 3 months rent

6. I’m entitled to quiet enjoyment and it’s not quiet and I’m not enjoying living here

7. The other tenants are harassing me because I don’t clean up my dogs poop

8. Talk to my ex wife - she gets all my money

9. My religion doesn’t allow the payment of rent

I'll add to this list:

- If I pay you rent, how am I supposed to save up for that vacation I have planned?

- It is my birthday month. You don't have to pay rent on your birthday month, right?

- I was in the hospital for a several days and have a doctor's note.  I wasn't even here, so I shouldn't have to pay rent.
