@Shayne Williams Tell him no problem and then 5 minutes before the showing appointment text him and let him know that you ran out of gas and forgot your wallet at home, but you have a certified check for $1,000 for him for the showing, so you need him to front you $50 for the gas so you can get there and give him the $1,000 check.

PM writes its so cold the gas bill is very high they cant afford the gas bill and rent.. and have a new baby.. they would like a 3 month hiatus on rent and then pay the balance over the summer.. well at the end of 3 months they just up and left  LOL.. stung yet again..

Jen,This is so true and food up most of it 20% plus some natural resource such as gas and oil up 100-200% which cause all transportation and distribution cost to skyrocket...Bottom line another monst bill will affect all of us and worldwide all countries seems to be having BIG inflation issues...

As I'm sure you've know, people tend to not care about how much gas/water/electricity they use if they're not paying for it.  

Short of changing a lot of the electrical and gas around, there is no apparent way to make this split make sense.

They are care of the outside exterior including roof, landscaping etc with electric and gas utilities.

We upgraded our to gas logs, made the cavernous opening smaller, simply tiled over the horrendous facade, then added a reclaimed fireplace mantle & a slightly raised hearth.

Be civil and try to work an agreement out or do I treat the situation as if he is a squatter and cut the power/gas (this advice was given to me but seems extreme).

I would like to purchase a derelict gas station or something similar in a good location to launch an auto detailing enterprise in the city of Gainesville.

Given your profession, you have a financial advantage and able to start your game plan with the gas pressed hard.
