He came back afterwards discouraged because they wouldn’t give him a credit and only told him that they would look into it. I know that he confronted her at least twice and both times she just did as she always did, refused to acknowledge or speak to him and just ran inside her apt.

 

Almost 3 months with by with the ever increasing water bill that went up every month until one day she was just gone. And then we got the notes on our door across the entire complex. The note states that per our lease guidelines any business that is operating out of our apartments needs to be disclosed to management for approval and any violations of this will result in fines and possible eviction. My building got a separate note stating that we would all receive a $50 credit on the next month rent due to a mistake in billing. No acknowledgment of the fact that this went on for over a year and we were probably owed more, just some rug sweeping.

 

Within a couple of months my water bills were back down to about $30.

 

I get that people need to find creative ways to make money when they are broke, I have been there. I used to have to sell things to make rent at times, gone without food because I just didn’t have the money, and have worked 2 jobs before just to stay afloat, but she was running a business that we were all contributing to with no benefit to ourselves, that is stealing in my book.
