How-to: ....rent a flat to a so-called friend and become a nervous wreck, cont'd

This is becoming a true farce. I had thought the rent hassle and some other bullshit with numerous e-mails, and a real intensive text table tennis fight just prior to my trip to Finland, would have been enough, but now there is THIS...

I had received a few letters from Finland while I was away, and opening one of them basically caused another vein pop. It was from my insurance company, saying my home and travel insurances will expire on Thursday (=tomorrow.....) due to unpaid fees. Unpaid fees? I usually pay my bills. In fact, I ALWAYS pay my bills.... if I see them. So, something was clearly missing. And I knew for a fact that there was some mail in my flat, dating from July-August, which my wonderful tenant had of course promised to send after me, but that never happened, surprise surprise...

Last night I sent him an e-mail explaining the situation, saying he is getting himself into very deep shit if there is a letter there from my insurance company; if not, the bill must have gone missing and it's not his fault. Then I remembered my Finnish mobile had ran out of power already yesterday morning at Pirkkala Airport, and I thought I must charge it. And so I saw this text from him saying "...believe or not but there are only three letters for you (ONLY three???), something from If (=MY BLOODY INSURANCE COMPANY) and..... ...I will send them to you..." (heh, like, WHEN???)

Fucking hell. This is clearly not working. Now I am just pondering how many skinheads I should send after him to castrate the idiot.

And now, I have an insurance company to call.............

EDIT. The original bill was dated JULY 14TH. He blamed the other guy. Problem otherwise sorted. And now, must start packing for Madrid, we leave today.
