What's with this lawn lady?

Question

I know someone close to me that cuts lawns for a living. One of his customers doesn't necessarily pay on time and they have lots of money. They have a hummer and just recently bought a corvette for a family member. Thing is the last time she paid, she paid by check and memoed it for June/July. She didn't pay for August. She has also sent my friend letters saying that she would like to have her yard cut every two weeks for $25 a cut. His other yards are $130-$230 a month. She was getting away with paying $90 a month and now wants $50 a month. He never agreed to the $50 a month and now she constantly calls him saying that he doesn't return her calls and that she should be paid up til mid October with the last check she sent for $140 which is memoed June/july. Before that she paid in may for $90. He doesn't want to call her until he gets the copies of her checks from his dad. She even chased him around the yard trying to talk to him last week. Is this grounds for harassment?

Answer 1

Your friend needs to cut his losses, and just drop tthis client. it makes no difference if they have 'lots of money' if they don't pay the right amount on time, and why submit to being chased around the lawn???

I wouldn't bother with a harassment suit, but he might be able to take her to small claims court to get the amount he is owed. Check the filing charges and other details at your city website.
