Disappointments happen when our expectations are not met. Signed business arrangements can be and will be broken. Preparation helps to prevent some occurrences - but not all! So, what do you do?
Resort to plan 2! What is plan 2?
I give myself about 5 minutes of feeling bad - then i move on. How do YOU deal with it?

We had not been notified in advance, and had not received a security deposit, rental payment, tenant application, or a current credit report!
So.... when the alarmed tenant called with a report of a squatter who took up residency in the lower quarters of their rental house we knew exactly what to do and this would NOT be tolerated! It was not necessary to revert to the rental policy manual! This uninvited intruder, sneakily moved in sometime during the night! This was a PEST!
I quickly did a Google search and came up with:
Now, we've had experience with a squatter or two in the past, when we first begin our Property Management Company. We once called upon Windy City Service to help us out.
This evasion though, was different, for this trespasser was much BIGGER and very elusive! The neighbors could tell he was accustomed to living in the streets by his distinctive odor! We knew we'd have to use diplomacy if we were to evict him, for our lease-abiding-rent-paying-tenants were not willing to wait out the legal 5 days once we served our notice to vacate...... they wanted him gone NOW!!
This was SERIOUS... nothing left to do but to call upon the Professionals in the Active Rain Property Management Group! I can rest assured now, knowing that the wealth of information and experience will yield the perfect answer! Oh.... one more thing.....
Here is the picture of the "squatter":

Commercial & Residential Property Management & Real Estate servicing Suburban Illinois & Northwest Indiana locations. Our clientele includes investors, owners, renters, buyers, and sellers.
We began our business after we received divine instructions: "start the business, and whatever you touch will turn to gold"! At the time, we were living in a basement apartment surviving mainly on potatoes for a whole year. With no money saved, and not knowing where to start, "it came to me" that what i can do is what i have already been doing all my life, "naturally" Well, i knew how to clean, so i made calls offering to clean homes. Our first customer was a relative. I grabbed a can of Comet Cleanser, a few rags, and mounted the $5.00 bike my husband purchased me from a resale store.
It took a whole day cleaning her 3 level home. When my husband saw my efforts, he then picked up a paint brush and announced, "well, i can paint"!
We called the landlord and informed him that he needed his building painted and cleaned, then offered our services. The next week he called and took us up on it. Unknown to us, he had 38 units, which we began to clean and paint. Later, when we were "divinely instructed" to move to a different location, we continued our business with him.
It was after we moved that our former landlord asked us to manage his properties. We became his part-time employees, seeing to the needs of tenants.... cleaning, painting, and most of all listening, hearing, observing. Later on, we were divinely instructed to get licensed, and we did. We believe one of the reasons we have been called into this business is to service a sector of people who may have resigned to become life-time renters due to low credit scores, hindering past histories, and lack of knowledge needed to assist in advancement. There is an immense degree of joy witnessing the gratitude shown on faces of clients who did not believe they could become homeowners! As we continue to be directed by "divine instructions" we anticipate greater contributions to service lives of many.
