I have tenants in a stand-alone house right across town from where I live.
They are supposed to pay the rent weekly, directly into my bank account.
The week goes past, no rent arrives. They're not on the phone.
I drive over there in the weekend afternoon and knock on the door. This wakes them up, as they are all sound asleep, either in bed or wrapped up in sleeping bags on the living room floor.
Yes they have the rent, in cash. They give it to me. Yes they meant to pay it into the bank, but they were too busy/too tired/not out/not in/too hot/too cold, or some other excuse. And exactly the same thing will happen next week, regardless of what I say.
I find this remarkably annoying. I too would like to kip the afternoon away, but I'm too busy having (among other things) to drive for an hour and a half to collect the damn rent.
What tenant actions do you find incredibly annoying, unrelated to the magnitude of the offence, just because it is so damn unthinking?
