Nowadays its "I lost my job" instead of "I bought a new x-box so can it wait 2 weeks?" These are all classic, to bad this seems to be happening more often these days!

I have been late (one week at the most) 3 times in 10 years..during this time I had pneumonia 4 times. I have 3 small children whom get sick regularly, my husband was sick with cancer for 18 months and then passed away, my mother-in-law passed, my father passed, work was slow at times, payroll checks have been late at least once a year, we celebrate Christmas and birthdays, my vehicle sometimes needed 600 to 2000 repair... wow only late 3 times in 10 years (each time when was because i wasn't expecting my payroll check to be late) Yet I have renters that are late every month and every month have a "new story". I think they need to get a life and grow up and learn to be responsible for themselves and stop taking advantage of other people. I agree that some of the above items are funny in the list, but some are truly sad and should not be joked about. I rent and I have a small rental.

Not on your life!! Going through 2 foreclosures last years because of horrible tenants, I know first hand, you don't get paid and you WILL find out whom the real owner of your rental house truly is...the BANK! As an adult your number one prioties are food and shelter! NOT Christmas presents (you can not afford anyway because you didn't preplan and save all year like you should have) and not any other excuse you can think of either. Pay your rent or get out.

My wife has lost a child and has been in hospital " when she was never pregnant" This really was a horrific lie! 2. Bank sent the money to the wrong account 3. Someone has stolen all the money from my bank account via fraud 4. My dad was giving me the money but he has had a blood clot 5. My little sister stole all my money 6. The bank has messed up (again) more than 5 times. 7. I paid my old landlord your three months rent by mistake, I was still carying his bank details in my wallet, Whoops.. 8. He finished work at 4.00 and arrived at my house at 4.09 telling me me had been to the bank and came up with a very tall and long tale about how they made a mistake and they will fix it out, my hse is 15 minutes drive from the bank. All these stories from the same idiot, people will say anything and use the most horrific excuses to make you feel sorry for them. To all you people complaining that we should feel sorry for tennants in hardship, tell me that after you have listened to their crap and LIES whilst paying the mortgages on the house they are living in and paying for legal costs to throw the scum bags out. Most you guys complaining just dont get it, they are almost all lying! you start out giving people the benifit of the doubt but they will take you for everything they can because the laws here let them do so. I will add both my tennants are working and have decent paying jobs, drive a really nice convertable car, neigbours tell me they are always bringing bags home from expensive shops. they just dont want to a their rent.. Court in a few weeks :), big foot in the ass to kick them out and I get my property back.

I'm going to use your line from now on - "the rent is the most important bill you have..." Nice to know you haven't had any evictions. You're definitely doing something right! Rob Greg,

In my property management business I tell every prospective renter (minimum of 3 times) that I don't care where/how they get the money, just know the rent is the most important bill you have. If I have not rec'd the rent on time I will have you & your stuff on the curb on day #5. Funny, it seems to work. No, I've never had to enforce it. I loved reading all the excuses.

Especially interesting since the conversation took place in January. (P.S. - I got rid of this Section 8 tenant as soon as her lease expired, and now have some very nice, responsible tenants renting the house.)
