Question:

Mike and Josh first met in college. They became great friends and shared many laughs over the years. When Mike graduated college, he bought an apartment building in Northville and began a successful career as a landlord. After graduate school, Josh got a job in Northville and was looking for a place to live. He called his good buddy Mike, who said "come to my building! Our apartments are the best in the city, and I'll make you a good deal!"

Things were great for the first few months, and the apartment was lovely. When the heating broke, however, Josh called Mike to fix it. Mike said "How can you call me now?? You know I am devasted over my recent breakup and I can't think about your heat!" Josh tried to console his friend, but after a few days he was really cold. He was frustrated with his friend, who refused to do his job as a landlord, though he understood that it was a complicated situatuion.

When Josh's rent was due, he told Mike he would pay "as soon as the heater is working" This upset Mike, who believed the heat was Josh's responsibility. Josh comes to you; a friend and he is very upset about the situation. He does not want to sue his friend, because they have such a detailed history, but he doesn't know what else to do. He really thinks they can work something out, if he could just have someone help them listen to each other. Josh doesn't want to spend a fortune getting this resolved and hops to have a decision very quickly.
