Still Here

I realized it's been a couple of weeks since I've last been in here and even longer since I've updated on the Troll situation.

Mostly, I'm afraid, because there's no (good) updates to give.  Boooo!

Mr. Landlord called me about a week and a half ago to give the latest update.  He tried to call The Trolls but they were screening his calls.  So, being crafty, he decided to drive to the area and call from someone else's phone.  Bingo.  Troll answered on the first try.  So Mr. Landlord asked if he could "stop by" and Troll responded with "I'm heading out in 20 minutes" thinking that it would take Mr. Landlord longer than that.  Surprise!  He was just around the corner :)

So he paid them a visit and managed to collect some rent money from them.  He also demanded some payment for the gas bills that are in OUR name that we have paid in full every month and have not received reimbursement for (they owe 40% of the bill each month).  They haven't paid in MONTHS and now owe us > $300 in back payments.  Sigh.  The Troll coughed up $100 and claimed that the rest would be paid Easter weekend.  Well guess what?  That was 1.5 weeks ago and still NO MONEY has come our way.  I sent a not so happy email to Mr. Landlord this morning indicating that I want him to take over the Gas Bills and I'm tired of footing the bill for the squatters.  We will see how that goes over.....

On the positive side Mr. Landlord reported back that when he showed up at The Trolls they had a pile of boxes there and looked ready to pack up.  That's an exciting development in the saga.  He also promised (ya, right) to be out by the end of April.

I'll believe it when I see it.
