The mob called (and wants paid)

It's a beautiful day in the park.

Warm weather.

Kids laughing. 

The sky so blue you can almost see forever...

Then your phone rings.

It's an old Tenant (and he's pissed).

He wants the security deposit back - NOW!

If not, Mr. Corleone may pay you a visit.

Whoa, hold on there, tiger. 

Sorry this got ya all hot and bothered.

But you're not getting it back.

You trashed the place (now I keep your money).

Got it?!?

* brushes shoulders *

Listen, you may not wanna call this Tenant's bluff.

But you better send this notice.

It says why you're keeping the money (and how much).

It'll keep you legal.

And Mr. Corleone outta town.

Win-win.
