http://www.bakotopia.com/home/Blog/Kindra79/5610 I haven't seen him in about a week.&nbsp; Okay, that's fine, I don't mind that at all.&nbsp; What I mind is that he hasn't paid this month's rent yet.&nbsp; He made arrangements with me that he gets his check on the 5th and would pay me on the 5th.&nbsp; It's now the 8th.&nbsp; I text him the total due on the 5th.&nbsp; I called and left a message on the 6th.&nbsp; Then yesterday I called twice, sent an email, and an email through MySpace. I checked MySpace today, he's logged in, but didn't read the mail.&nbsp; My phone message basically said &quot;Unless you are dead or in a coma there is no reason for you not to return my phone calls&quot;&nbsp; I also informed him that if rent was not paid by 5 pm today I would tack on the late fee (since it'll be 3 days over due).&nbsp; Now, when do I serve a 3 day notice?&nbsp; Does anyone know how many days over due the rent has to be for me to serve it?&nbsp; His lease is up at the end of this month, so I can just not renew it and boot him then if he doesn't pay and keep his deposit, but that only covers half the rent and leaves me footing the entire PG&amp;E bill for last month, water, and Internet.&nbsp; I'm so irritated.&nbsp; I feel like I have been suckered as this was a friend of mine.&nbsp; He used to be reliable and helpful, he acted excited about moving in, said he couldn't wait to do things around the house, that he liked to do those things to keep him busy.&nbsp; Last month I had the &quot;I'm not your mommy&quot; talk with him, he said to keep riding him (about using things and not putting them away, like my sander, paint supplies etc.) that he's depressed and just give him a week or so to get out of the funk.&nbsp; Well, it's been over a week and now rent is due and not paid. Fabulous, just freaking fabulous. So anyone know of someone reliable, trustworthy, and a team player who wants to rent a room?&nbsp; I have a feeling I'm going to have one available soon. &nbsp; I haven't seen him in about a week.&nbsp; Okay, that's fine, I don't mind that at all.&nbsp; What I mind is that he hasn't paid this month's rent yet.&nbsp; He made arrangements with me that he gets his check on the 5th and would pay me on the 5th.&nbsp; It's now the 8th.&nbsp; I text him the total due on the 5th.&nbsp; I called and left a message on the 6th.&nbsp; Then yesterday I called twice, sent an email, and an email through MySpace.
