Collecting a deposit......

[gja1000]

Diana, this is just really the PITS! It is so unfair. Janet has the correct approach, do a walk through, make a list, and stick with that list on move out - that is the way car rental places handle it.

While there are so many wonderful things about living in a small town, this is an example of a multifaceted problem in a small town. The soured friendship has most likely contributed to the nastiness, plus her daughter losing the homecoming queen pagent. That is so unfair to Dae Lynn. Things like that are much less likely to happen in the city. I grew up in a small town and much of my family still lives there and I can sooooo see something like this happening. And no matter how it turns out, this woman may bad mouth Dae Lynn to other people. It is just so sad that some people are this way. Add to that a situation where everyone knows everyone, and it can really cause some hurt feelings!

Maybe they can get in writing, what this b***** wants them to do so that they get their deposit back, minus the screen door. If she doesn't give it back then, they can take her to court. Or...threaten to anyway.

Or, maybe Glenn can talk to the husband on the side and make some arrangement. You said the husband is a nice guy.

Good ideas, Judy!

Those are good ideas, Judy. I'll have to talk to Dae Lynn.
