Motherfucker.
The bitch has not responded to either my polite text message or my polite voice mail requesting the money she owes for utilities for her one month staying here. What a crock of shit. It's one thing to dick us over and give us almost no notice, but fucking pay your bills like the responsible adult you are.
I do not know her new address, but a little googling has told me that if I simply stamp and address an envelope to her at this address with the words "address service requested" the post office will provide me with her new address. I have no idea if this is true or not.
I have considered taking her to small claims court as well, if she doesn't pony up the dough she owes me. A little research has told me that the court fee for such a move would be $80, about half of what she owes me, which seems a bit steep. I want to go to the court tomorrow before work and find out if, if I win the case, she can be forced to pay that fee as well as paying what she owes me.
Amusingly, I can use one of her earlier ploys against her. She claimed that I could not force her to leave as this was her legal address, as proven by the fact that she changed her address and was receiving mail here. Well, she has still received some mail here, has made no attempt to collect it from me, and clearly has her name and this address on it. Making her the legal resident for the month she was here....and thus subject to owing 1/3 of the bills as we agreed on. I have no doubt she will try to come up with some reason to not pay this, either to me or to the judge, but we'll see where this goes.
Any advice would be welcome here.
In other news, thought I had found a great new roommate, but like many, he has fallen off the face of the earth, and has not returned my last call to him, which I find odd. What the fuck is going on here?
I put up a new ad online today, and have already received a call from one young lady who wants to come look at the room later today. We'll see how that goes.
Add to all this the fact that I need to get shit done for my upcoming vacation, and I am fucking stressing.
Now I need lunch. Meh.
