Forward Management Leaves Toilet Seat and Construction Debris Out Overnight

~Six months later, Forward Management is finally beginning to fix a nearby building's second and third floors that were damaged by a fire in the autumn. However, it seems that a toilet will remain in the front yard, as the contractors have not bothered to clean up the debris and are leaving it out overnight.

Forward Management Still Has Not Paid Its Gas Bill of $758.86

This notice happens to be a repeat of a previous delinquency notice from Peoples Natural Gas in which they warned that if the bill of $758.86 is not paid, the gas may be shut off "ON OR AFTER 7/28/2014" in just five days.

For this ?second? notification, a Peoples Gas employee got rather enthusiastic with posting to the door.

Forward Management and Confusion Over Early Rent + New Flat Electricity Fee

We received a letter from Forward Management stating that we owed $75.00, and if the bill is not paid by July 5, 2014 that we would owe an additional $50 late fee. However, since our rent is auto-paid through the bank (every month, 3 weeks before it is due to prevent late fee issues such as this), I knew that this was not actually possible. A phone call to the receptionist revealed that we did indeed owe $25 (a mid-lease rent hike to include a flat electric bill), not $75 for our new electric fee and that the landlord does not (cannot?) charge a $50 late fee for utility bills.

So, the $75 the letter says we owe would be $25 for electric plus a $50 late fee although the receptionist said we only owed $25. Since I've been paying rent about one month in advance, this didn't mesh well with the changeover to a flat rate for the electric bill, which lead to this confusion. But I sent Forward Management a $25 check, and everything was sorted out without any ridiculous late fees for a missing $25.
