renewal 2026

only_in_file Only inside files. The lease, nine pages: the late fee ($50 after the 5th, section 6), the returned-payment charge ($30), the lockout charge ($75, section 29), the 21-day deposit return (section 8), early termination (60 days' notice to a month end plus one month's rent, section 36) and the year the building was built (Addendum C). The $9,850.00 on the Pilcrow 1099 and the tax withheld on the W-2 ($1,204.18 federal), both boxed substitute forms. The royalty (3% after 4,000 copies) and the print limits in the book contract. The date Miso was spayed and her shelter shots. What Gail wrote by hand on the 2026 renewal. The renters policy number and limits. Also only on a picture: the old address on the Minnesota license. Miso's microchip number is in two files and no note.

only_in_file Hard files that can still be read. The book contract (documents/heron-contract.pdf) is a scan with no text layer: the royalty has to be read off the picture. The adoption agreement (documents/miso-adoption.jpg) is a faint copy: the spay date and the microchip number are pale but legible, and the microchip is also on the vet's summary, which is clean. The renewal letter carries handwriting: Gail's remark about taxes and a P.S. that Rolf would free the north window in April 2026, which no note repeats and which later notes show did not happen.

near_duplicate One paper captured twice, as two documents: "renewal 2026" (documents/renewal-2026.pdf, clean, with text) and "IMG_4417" (documents/renewal-2026-phone.jpg, his phone photo, angled, with glare, saved under the phone's own file name). The same letter, not two letters; the PDF is the one to read.

note_contradicts_record Rent and term: the only lease record was made in 2024 and never touched, so it says 1,050 and ends 2025-05-31; a January 2026 budget note says 1,095; the signed 2026 renewal letter and the notes of March and June 2026 say 1,150 to 2027-05-31, and they are right. Plate: the parking note says HVN-761; the registration, the title and the application note say HVN-716, and a note a week later says he gave Ines the wrong one; 716 is right. Deductible: the car policy record says 500 and 89 a month; the note of the 2026-07-14 call says 1,000 and 76; the note is newer and right, but no file confirms it. Deposit: his note of the phone call has Gail saying 30 days; the lease says 21 and says it governs; both are true of what they record. Spreads: a reminder to send Odette four spreads is still open, and the journal three days before the build day says they went; the journal is right.

Story, 2026-06-01: The rent becomes $1,150. Two weeks later his passport expires and he does not notice until July.
