Mr. Menture, 

As of this date, and much attempted conversation, you have not paid your half of the utilities for the month of March 2012.  

In good faith in the middle of January, as the electric account for the man who died had been shut off my his family, you stated you had no money for an electric deposit.  I then created a Progressive energy account in my name, for our leased duplex.  The electric company required a 200 dollar deposit which I paid, as well as for which have a reciept.    You payed the first two payments on time.  I will not request that you pay a deposit to me for the electric, I am able to carry this alone, however, you must pay your half of the monthly bills.  At this time you have a debt of $24.50 for the month of March electric bill.   You are still using electricity in form of water heater, washer and dryer, and lights and cooking, and television.  You stated you want the electric to be turned off, when you know very well this would be neither humanitarian in nature, nor feasable since I also reside here.  

Secondly,  the water bill through the city of Casselberry is the same situation.  Once again you were not able to contribute to the 50 dollar deposit, which I paid in full.  You have refused to pay your half of the March 2012 bill which amounts to $22.50.  Since you have not offered to pay half of these deposits, and perhaps are having financial difficulties, I only require that you pay your half of these two cohabital responsibilities.  

The affects of the late Mr. Crown which you graciously allowed me to use after his death have been returned to you, witnessed by the Seminole County Sheriff Department.   I am requesting that you now preceed as you stated for the past two weeks several times, that you will be placing these things in storage, so that they are not being stored in the common area/living room of our leased property.  

The washer and dryer which were the  property of the late Mr. Crown are not my dispute, and I do not know to whom they belong.  It has been stated to me by the landlady, Mrs. Fuller, that the property was left to her upon Mr. Crown's death.  She graciously suggested that it be given to you, because she did not want it.  Therefore, You have the right to refuse me to use these appliances.   You DO NOT however have the right to refuse my access to the connection, so that I may also have a washing machine.  

Unfortunately, your lifestyle is what I and perhaps others may opinion as unhygenic.  I have and am making every effort to keep our leased property as clean as possible.  You have been considerate of late, and have not left food packaging and food rests in many unconventinial areas, and I appreciate this.  Your lassez-faire attitude toward certain things which may cause harm to others, such as leaving a broken light bulb on the carpet flooring where someone could be cut, I do not understand.  

From my point of view, I have rented a property where I have paid all of the required deposits, I I am not being paid promptly and or refused of being paid for used services, and am forced to live with your property detrimenting my right to space which I pay rent for.  Your adamant request for a renter's deposit from me is ludicrous.  Please refrain from demanding money from me, when you are unable to pay your fair share of the responsibilities.   You are not the landlord, nor are your authorized to collect any type of deposit for our mutual rented property.  

Thank you, and I faithfully await your responsible utility payments, 

Mr. Michael Harbuck
