A cleaning client with a $1,200 bill stopped answering after a long clean of a student rental
Early in her business, the owner and her first employee spent about 15 to 17 hours on a badly worn house rented to students, with no walkthrough first. The bill came to about $1,200. Most of her clients pay on the day, but this one didn't pay for a week or two and didn't answer her calls. She drove past the house daily and finally got paid through the client's realtor.
