Just out of the JWs I had a town house I rented. I was moving into another home and the landlord was scum. When I moved he charged me for every little thing which was already broken or malfunctioning when I moved in and also charged me for hairline cracks in a 50 year old porcine bathtubs and sinks ( which already existed prior to my move in) The list goes on and on.
I had completed a move in report but being naïve I thought you only wrote down things that the landlord needed to fix such as not working outlets, ceiling fans and toilets.
Long and short of it he said I owed him 1,300 dollars for repainting and repairs ( which I found out later the landlord must repaint at his expense if the occupant was in occupancy for more than three years) Oh and BTW one of these repairs I owed him for was damage to the shed which was struck by a tree which toppled in a storm.
Anyway he threatened me with everything from poor credit to suing court. I signed the paper ( because I was far from savvy in these areas at the time) under duress saying I would repay him in monthly installments of 300.00 a month until paid off.
After I signed such I found out he did this to all of his renters and I also found out I was on the right side of the law?until I signed the paper promising repayment. To get a lawyer was out of the question as I was a newly single parent and could not afford such.
My revenge?
Each month I showed up at his office with 300 dollars in pennies which I purchased from the bank and unwrapped each roll. Pillow case upon pillow case (because of weight) I carried into his office and dumped onto his desk. This was before the days of the little money machines where you can dump coin and it will count it for you.
He was pissed and said I had to pay him in real money and I replied this is legal tender?have fun you penny pinching maggot! After the second month of my doing the same he called me and said he would lower my cost to him from 1300 dollars to 700 dollars if I would pay the last installment of 100 in paper money. I agreed if he were to put it in writing-- which he did.
Last installment? Lot's (I can?t remember the exact amount I bought from the bank) of Mexican paper Peso?s which equaled 100 US dollars. I think his face is still as red as it was then when he realized he did not specify American paper money.
