I've never delt with Mr. Laughlin, but I spotted a notice on the door of the Big Apple Deli on Maple Street, giving the owners 5 days to vacate for non-payment of rent in September & October, posted 7 October.
Had Mr. Laughlin actually been getting any mail?

The front door

Close up of the Notice
Mandatory evacuation, lack of basic services, and no mail are evidently no damn excuse for a late check!
