he owes me the equivalent of around $12 000
I live in South Africa so that is a huge amount of money, to put that in perspective someone earning $10 000 a year is considered "rich" here. So basically its the equivalent of a year's worth of middle class income elsewhere.
also this is my only source of income, I had to pay the municipality for the water and services consumed and I had to pay for lawyers out of my pocket, it was a huge blow and he showed absolutely no consideration for my situation at the time.
I gave him notice in January 2015, willing to write off all debt had he left the end of February 2015, I had to get a court order to evict him and he finally left the 22 June 2015, I had to collect the keys from the house at midnight that night because he was being such a fuckhead.
and then I had to do repairs for the new tenant etc, it was a nightmare I will learn from, but thats not to say I cannot shame this man as well.
