Renter Update

Finally got a call from the renters. They are in California, the woman's mother had had a stroke. By the time I got the call notifying me why the rent had not been paid (what a coincidence that the stroke and payday happened on the same day) it was the 9th and she said the mom was getting better, should be home in a couple of days, and they would be back here in a couple of days too. Now, it has been 4 days more and I have a sneaking hunch that the rent money is gone. SO, it is a couple of weeks before Christmas and I'm really thinking eviction is the thing to do. Oh, and I found out when I called his work looking for them that he'd been laid off a couple of days before payday. One thing I do know is I have better things to do. So management company is sounding better all the time.
