It’s highly unlikely it’d be that short. Possible, but very unlikely. And yeah, you said no lectures. But I chose to ignore that because I genuinely want to know: why is it fair for you to break your agreement and just assume that the other party will cover you? And more to the point: this is actually part of why you serve demand notices (what you received) immediately. One reason is to kick off the process so that eviction can move forward if needed. But more importantly, it’s to send the clear message that you intend to hold the other party to the terms of the agreement. After all, you’re making changes to avoid paying late in the future, so it seems like they made the right call, doesn’t it?

I genuinely want to know why the ... you think that I said that it was fair to break any agreement. I was just being honest about a real experience, even though I knew that someone like you would take the opportunity to use me as a punching bag. I hope that you will stop harassing me with these rhetorical "questions" and never have any further communication or interaction with me in the future.

  Certainly not trying to harass you but you’ve posted this on a public message board, so I think it fair that others respond? You’re welcome to ignore it, of course. You bring up a fair point that I’m assuming you’re laying some amount of blame or culpability for the situation at your landlord’s feet, and that isn’t exactly what you said. I may have read that unfairly, and you only meant that this was a situation you found yourself in, with no criticism aimed at the property management. I apologize for assuming otherwise.

    Of course it's fine to respond, but people need to remain respectful. In a case like this, responding with an obvious moral judgment ("what you should have been doing") can't help, and is close to kicking someone when they're down. I do appreciate that you've responded respectfully to some replies to your comments (elsewhere in the thread) which haven't been particularly respectful either.

  If you don’t want people to comment on your story, don’t share it.

    If people don't share stories like that, we will never hear them and will never learn from them. The expectation to appear perfect and not share what happen when we are not perfect pushes us all into sort of shared delusion.
