Being a landlady, or landlord for that matter, is not always easy. Tenants sometimes cannot or will not pay the monthly rent. The list of excuses for why people don't pay their rent on time is very long, and often amusing. Here are a few examples collected from real landladies:
"With my daughter’s graduation, our new boat and our trip to Europe this year, we’re a little strapped for cash."
"I’m getting real tired of paying this rent every month! You’ll have to wait a few more days."
"We’re a little short right now. But don’t worry, we’re getting a refund on my wife’s tattoo. The artist messed it up, and we’re getting back most of the money."
"I didn’t pay the rent because I’m saving money to move."
"Terrorists stole the check."
"My girlfriend found out I was cheating on her so now she is so upset she has not worked and therefore cannot contribute to the rent."
"I’m sorry, but my drug dealer raised his prices again. You know how it goes."
