Why irregular Spain rent payments are not always bad

Irregular Spain rent payments were my last tenant's ways to compensate me for letting a studio to him. . He worked as piano player at Café de Paris in Puerto de la Cruz. I have known this café since my first holiday in Tenerife in 1997.

Were the strange rental payments bad for me?

No, I didn't suffer from these uncommon Spain rent payments. They didn't worry me, at all. I didn't need to get the rent money on a certain day or time of the month.

Besides, I was sure my renter was a good man. He came recommended by a friend of mine.

Also, I was informed that he was suddenly only receiving his work pay in irregular intervals.

This renter didn't always manage to come and see me in time for his Spain rent payments.
He just rang my bell on its way to the shops which didn't happen often.

Twice monthly became almost the norm with his irregular rent payments in Tenerife Spain.
But, it is better to be paid in more or less predictable intervals than not at all...

The man with the peculiar style to pay Spanish apartment rental worked as a musician without a work contract for most of the last 24 months.

Then the Spain economy took the plunge like almost everywhere in the world by the end of 2007. This made me wonder in rare split seconds, when he was late to bring his cash for the rental of the studio which I let out to him. However, those were very short flashes of doubt.
He ended up receiving his wages weekly, when Tenerife business and tourism deteriorated somehow, where he played the piano.

However, he warned me quite often in 2008 that he might lose his job. I was aware of losing his Spain rent payments, eventually.

On the last day of July 2009, he was told not to come back to his work place. It was a very sudden and cruel dismissal in my mind. He was replaced by two guys that delivered very commercial music. Needless to say, I had preferred my renter's piano sounds from before.

This good man who had become a faithful person to rent my Tenerife apartment studio in Los Realejos Spain for more than 2 years was suddenly out of work, devastated and very unhappy. I couldn't help but feeling more sorry about his situation than losing him as a renter.
