I'm just super paranoid about getting things in writing now.

Once I had a tenant that wanted to paint her place, she had a friend that was a painter that would give her a hand. Cool I thought, so I bought the paint and took it to them, talked to the painter friend and everything, she seemed nice enough, talked shop.

Months later the unit is painted and I get a bill for the paint job of thousands of dollars. She claims she thought we had made a verbal contract to paint, I don't recall talking about amounts or hours or paying her mileage or anything. She did a good job so in the end I ended up paying her less than half, but in hindsight I should have told her to pound sand. Years later I found out she gave a sob story to my TENANT (her supposed friend) about me not paying her and got the tenant to give her money too.

People are evil.
