My plumber did what?!?

“Yo… we got a leaky sink!” shouts your Tenant.

By now, your plumber is on speed dial.

He fixed it lickety-split (no major issues).

Until that night.

Three missed calls - in less than a minute - from your Tenant.

And this text - “Your plumber STOLE my fish!”

Wait, what?!?

Surely he’s joking (or drunk).

Nope.

Six fish when he left; five when he returned.

Your plumber was the only one in the house (but swears he didn’t stick callused hands in a tank full of hungry piranhas.)

What’s your next move?

Cut a deal.

Not every Tenant dispute needs a slick-talking lawyer.

 Discounting next month’s rent solves a lot of problems.
