10/11/07 - Received first part of rent

5:15 p.m. - Received (via RK) slightly less than half of the rent in cash. Tenant said he'd give us the rest tomorrow morning, even though he said he'd give it to us today. Checked the bills with the new counterfeit pen... they are all good.

10/10/07 - Rent update

6:05 p.m. - Just talked to Tenant. He said that he just talked to RK and they "made a deal." Rent tomorrow... in cash.

10/8/07 - Rent reminder

7 p.m. - Reminded Tenant as I was leaving that rent is due in two days. He pretended not to hear me.

9/18/07 - Second payment received

11 a.m. - Just received second half of the rent (in cash) right now from Tenant via RK. I was supposed to have it by yesterday late evening, but Tenant told RK that he'd have it for us by the next day (today).

9/15/07 - Bounced check update

5 p.m. - Just spoke with Tenant. He gave me half the rent in cash just now and claims he'll give me the rest on Monday afternoon "because [he] has a doctor's appointment Monday morning and [he's] struggling." Not sure if he were talking about his health, his store, or his conscience. Meanwhile, I'm holding onto the original check.

9/15/07 - ANOTHER BOUNCED CHECK

11:40 a.m. - JUST received Tenant's rent check back from Chase. It bounced. (Big surprise.) Went to go look for Tenant but Gopher Employee said that he doesn't know where Tenant is nor when he'd be back.

9/10/07 - Deposited check

Deposited rent check for September today. Received it two days ago on Saturday (8 Sep) at 6:05 p.m. Hoping it does not bounce.

(Will update about August rent later. I haven't been disciplined about this.)
