well, he finally paid me for last month, but still hasn't paid his rent for november, so tonight i took a trip to walmart, and spent the $15 for a new deadbolt.

HE'S OUT.

when he doesn't have my money, he pulls this whole routine where he doesn't answer his phone, doesn't come home at night until he knows i'll be asleep (i have an actual 7-3:30 m-f job i have to rest for) and then leaves again before i get off work.

i'm not going to play this avoidance game with him. if he wants his shit, or to keep his girlfriend's chinchilla from dying, he can pick up his shit when he gets me my money.

i actually heard him trying to sneak in here a bit ago, probably on his way home from the bars. a few failed attempts to get his key into the lock, i'm sure confusion set in, and then he tried to see if any of the windows were unlocked (i made sure they weren't) but funny enough, my phone never rang. I guess now he knows where we stand.

And oh yes, i WILL let the chinchilla die. If i wanted to take care of a pet, i would get one. I hate to be a dick, but i honestly don't have time to play games. He can **** it up and go explain to his parents why he doesn't have a place to sleep, and maybe they'll throw his *** in AA or rehab, which is where he SHOULD be.

that's a good point

i think they're quite expensive

could cut my losses that way

i think i'm more offended by the fact that he's too immature and cowardly to just take care of his business, or atleast address the problem, and tries to hide from me than anything else. the money issue wouldn't be that big of a deal if he'd at least face me and hash out some sort of arrangement, but he'd rather hide and waste my ******* time.

Yep. based off a quick search, prices for these things range from $75-$200 based on color. Not exactly the price of a gold fish...

take care of the chinchilla, they don't take more than a few minutes a day to keep alive, and they're far too cute to let die

and it seems you've got a solution, just make sure he knows the deadbolt comes off when he pays

well, he can't know anything until he actually grows the testicles to call me

i CAN afford to do without his share of the bills, but i wont, so i can wait as long as he wants to go without any of his shit, but he's not getting in here till i see my cash. and he wasn't on the lease, so this wont be settled in court, either.

Deadbolts have keys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I thought it sounded a bit harsh at first, but now I totally agree with you. He's being a little *****, and he knows it.
