OK, that was odd. I've complained in the past about the guy living next door to us with his four boys. Stereos and video games turned up to levels where they rattled the walls, the endless yelling for one kid or the other to come upstairs. Just recently, I contemplated murder.

Today we were leaving to do some errands and their door was wide open. Except for a basketball and a bucket filled with cleaning supplies, the place was empty. Funny thing is, Randy hadn't mentioned anything about moving to us, and when we saw them yesterday it seemed a normal Saturday. They must have moved out last night. Quickly.

When we got home from a trip to the skeevy hot tub place and shopping, Kirsten learned that they had been served with an eviction notice. They seemed to have every electronic toy known to man and a really nice TV. I don't think non-payment of the rent was an issue. Maybe too many noise complaints?

But who moves out in the middle of the night? Even if you're skipping on the rent, did they think we were going to call the landlords?

Well, at least it will be a little quieter around here for a while, and the wait time for the laundry will go way down.

I'm hoping for some Trappist monks to take the place. Or mimes.

Oh, the hot tub place was a no-tell motel with jacuzzis,but the water was hot and (after about a half hour) the sauna was pleasant.

WIth all the money going to toys, non-payment of rent might well have been an issue. Judging my problems friends of mine who owned rental property have had…

Firestrike's next door neighbor with the loud thumpy music (all day, every day. 0800-2200, thumpity, thump, thump...) recently went away too. But apparently the landlord's got upset by his being 51-50ed.
And then screaming in the parking lot after a welfare check. (He was quiet and calm during the welfare check, but after they left he went out to the parking lot and screamed about hating cops.)
