solarbirdT. moved out yesterday, after not showing up for the hearing this morning where he was formally ordered to get the fuck out. Court was quick and painless, tho' there was a bit of a queue; it was interesting that several of the people before us had actual back-and-forth issues; I didn't see anyone else who had a tenant who just apparently decided not to pay rent, ever. And I've now had two of those. Annoying.
But anyway, the papers were filed, the cops were notified, they'll go ahead and post the GET OUT to the door of apartment three even though nobody's there anymore but I don't want to bother stopping them; that way, I'll get the notice and can keep it with my records.
The courthouse building is still in a zillion pieces - that started after they did a major structural inspection after the Nisqually quake. Right now, they're doing the major structural refit of the lobby area, and it's just amazing - it's exposed all the way down to the cement-brick and ceramic-brick structural filler between the metal joists, and you can pretty much see everything - it's very much like walking into a large building that hasn't been finished yet the first time, and you wonder why it's open already. The people working there say it's been hell, because everybody keeps getting moved to new quarters constantly, and they've done things like closing bathrooms for four months at a time. But even so, I'm glad they're not just tearing it down and building a new one. Seattle doesn't honestly have many older buildings and this one's both nice and large, so there's a lot to look at it when it's not having its structural innards completely rebuilt.
Anyway, I did a preliminary check on the place last night, it seems fine. He lost a key somewhere along the way and claims he never had it, but that doesn't matter; I have to get all the locks changed anyway. I really didn't think he'd do anything to the place, and I'm glad I was right.
