Here's a txt that I got two days ago from a tenant who hadn't deposited his rent (due on the 1st) by the 7th. (I waited two days before even saying it was late):
[first he sends a picture of "the money"]
Then this text:
"Omg!!! I totally forgot to go to the bank on Friday and send it. I went to Boston over the weekend and it totally slipped my mind I was going to deposit it before I left for my flight. So sorry!! Don't worry I took a pic of the money so you know. Have it. I will bring it over to [bank name] as soon as I get a break at work. Again super sorry about that.".
So that's the actual text. Sent 2 days ago.
Today it's the 9th. Still no rent. Just texted him again before seeing this post.
