So we survived court. Sort of
Went in, watched the video, went outside. Looked at the property manager and said “We got nothing” No money, no hope of money, and no answers
To his credit, he wasn’t an ass at all. Good. We told him we know we broke the lease – DUH! If we could pay the rent we would still be there.
Truth is, we made just under $17,000 last year at the shop. The rent alone was $1700 a month, from January to July and then the amended amount was $850 a month. Do not need to be a genius to figure out we were not making it.
So he asks what we want to do, and we tell him that the most we could do, and it would still be a major risk, is $100 a month. Surprise – he actually called the owners and presented it to them and they said ok
. So better than the alternatives, wage garnishment, lien on the house, etc., but still – where are we going to find another $100 when we are already sinking faster that the Titanic ? It will work out. I know. I have faith. I will find a job, I am trying to get some tutoring at the college, and I will get more fabric on Ebay and get the last of the formals listed, we will sell them for whatever we can get.======================================================================================================
Today I had my Sunshineman. Always a silly fun guy, he has discovered video games and is hooked. I usually am a real stickler on them, but today Nana let the boy play. He was in heaven! A whole hour! lol. Usually he gets 15 min that is really 30.

Every one is in such dire straights. I am so glad the courts chose to work within your parameters. I hope this gives you some relief. I am sorry for your distress. Lack of funds is the biggest stress.
Having any amount of money coming in for rent is better than no money at all. I wish you luck and hope that things start turning around for you.
If you want some information about doing REAL mystery shopping, I can give that to you. It’s not crazy money,it’s in no way a lot of money, but you can fairly easily make that $100 per month. At least you can cover the arrangement. I make about $50 per month, and I have become extremely picky, and only do what I truly enjoy doing. I’m still praying for you, Keep having faith, God will bless you.
@didntusedtobelumpy - I would love the info! That would be a wonderful way to take care of at least part of it. Thanks so much
