Again, it's been seven years since my previous post. Wow. My how time flies. And yet, too much is the very same, essentially, as when I first got here, seven years ago.
Even bizarrely so. I've still got that storage problem going on. But now it's been almost two years since I flubbed and missed two monthly payments in a row. So they wouldn't allow me to simply resume current rent and add some arrears each time. Nope. They locked me out and have held all my stuff in there hostage, while billing me monthly rent PLUS a "late fee" every month but will only allow me to pay more than I've been able to at once. So they've slowly been converting the value of everything in there to this artificial "debt" they've been creating. Apparently, so that when they finally auction it off, they get to keep all the cash. I guess.
That ought not be a legal option for them. I could've paid off those two months of arrears several times over in all this time. So they've proved ... something. That getting paid by me sure wasn't their priority.
Why "SlumJack" and this blog? The "Jack", as in decks of cards, seems to be one of the "royalty" cards, but really is only a minion and pawn of the royalty. SlumJack is a mere "property manager" that found he was working for SlumLords... wealthy scoundrels that forced him homeless when he wouldn't do their unscrupulous, illegal bidding.
