Dennis Rears tells of moving and how the new tenant got his phone
disconnected early without his knowledge or approval.  The phone
company gave him a big hassle about this (threatened $42 reconnect
charge) and it was a bummer all around.  Apparently anybody can call
in for service requests for anybody.

Just have the new tenant's phone disconnected in about three weeks.
The satisfaction should probably be worth much more than $25 :-)
