That is cool.  I would love the  court to read my rant about how my tenant is lying about conversations that took place and creating ones that never did.

@Kathy Johnson

@Kathy JohnsonExactly.  I know what you mean, and have not yet dug up the agreement.

@Elizabeth Colegrove

So what can a judge really make of it.   My word against hers.  I dont know how that will play out.  I would expect they will have a hard time seeing who is lying Given the issue was address just 2 days after the due date, according to the tenant, should work in my favor.  

Its a tough one.  Maybe not to my BP peers, but it is to me.

@Elizabeth Colegrove

I do not have it in writing, but the exchange of texts suggests I am concerned about the tenant and looking to remedy ASAP.  My records of course show a 10 minute conversation took place, and at the time of the conversation I was only 20 minutes away from her house.

@Mary B.

Well you are correct about be being busy, and there have been missed dates in the  past.  I also agree that a phone call is not the same as a text. 

 I still have a hard time seeing what was exchanged.  I made an offer with nothing that clear in exchange.  You can read on and on about a landlord that says I will put in something like carpet.  They go  to court  and the judge says, put in the carpet.  Here the problem WAS address with a new fridge 2 days after the agreed date.  At least with regards to the texts.  It was actually delivered on the exact agreed upon date.

Then she lied about that conversation.

@Elizabeth Colegrove

During our Wednesday conversation, she said Friday was fine and rent would not be free.  Had that been the case I would have been there on Wednesday.  

I will let you know how it turns out.

I will regretfully admit that I should have never promised any such thing because as I am seeing, people are scum and will lie to get money from you.

So what is the lesson to learn?  I have a phone call conversation changing the due date and the other party agrees, then lies about the conversation.
