In Seattle, I decried ineptitude and dishonesty of Fountain Court Apartments at 4th Ave and Battery, but even though they lied to me repeatedly (teaching me the hard way about getting things in writing), it is true some of my rent checks were, in fact, 2 or 3 days late. So I guess trying to trick me into losing thousands of dollars is a fair reaction.
The people who ran Crest Apartments on Melrose in Seattle were also lying assholes. They increased my rent, failed to increase the direct deposit draft, and then started sending me backdated eviction notices (that isn't even the 'lying' part--when I moved out they invented fraudulent move out expenses to overcharge me with the security deposit). To be perfectly honest though, if I had gone out of my way to double check the amount they were drawing from my bank account, I may have had a 48 hour window in which to inform them of their mistake before they threatened to evict me.
In NYC, wanting to set a better precedent, I have done my utmost to be a blameless tenant or customer. So, upon moving into my apartment and creating an account with Con Edison for the electricity bill, I wasted no time in making my first payment, immediate, and in full, with a credit card. In response, Con Edison sent me three service shutoff notices for non payment.
When I grow up, I want to own a monopoly.
